Boy Baby Shower Stuuuuufffff....

One of my best friends had a sweet baby boy named Grayson!  Before his arrival, we had a couples shower for them.  These are a few of the things I made.  I didn't have my Cricut at the time....it

arrived a few days later :-\

When guests signed in, we asked them to write on a diaper.  Here's what my sign said.  I have to give Brandon credit for helping me with the rhyme. :-)

More poop & pee, oh my!

2am diaper changes make

Mommy & Daddy cry!

Got a tip or something funny

for when those diapers are a little runny?

Jot it down to make them smile

now that they're going to be up awhile!

Final Mickey Mouse Update!

Finally!  The last thing from the Mickey party is finished!  Thank you cards will be going out soon!

Minnie Mouse Invitations

Glitter, glitter, everywhere!!!

I had the pleasure of making these girly invitations this week.  I NEVER get to make anything that's pink or anything with GLITTER!  It was so fun and I think they turned out pretty cute!  Thanks, Heidi!  I hope you like them.

And here are the cookies!  I swear, I thought I made 100 of them!  It took 2 hours to make 35.  I'll bag them up tomorrow!

Glittery Pumpkins

I made these 5 years ago, so I don't have a better picture.  I saw Martha Stewart make them and well....mine aren't as good.  I had a hard time finding orange glitter, so that's why I made multiple colors.  Just paint some glue on mini-pumpkins from the grocery store and cover in glitter.

Mishka Mushka, Mickey Mouse!

Mason will be 2 this weekend and he loves Mickey Mouse!  Here's what I've made so far for his party.  Unfortunately, the party place doesn't allow you to hang decorations, so I won't be making much. 

Invitations

Birthday parties are so much fun!  Especially when it's your 2nd one!!

Once I got the wording centered, I made these pretty quickly.  I used the Disney Cricut cartridge for the 6" Mickey Mouse head on card stock paper.  The white insert slips out and has the party information in a free Mickey font I found online.

I've yet to the make the big batch for the party. These are the practice ones.

To make these cookies, you will need:

*Double Stuf Oreos

*Mini Oreos

*Black candy writer

*Red candy writer

*Wilton red candy melts

*White confetti/sprinkles

*Wax paper

*Cookie sheet

-Use the black candy writer to "glue" the mini Oreos to the big Oreo

-Place on wax paper and freeze until the candy hardens

-Once dry, use the red candy writer to draw a line across the cookies as the top of the pants

-Melt candy chips as directed and dip cookie to the red line

-Place your "buttons"

-Place completed cookie on wax paper in the freezer until the pants harden

For the candy writers, I used the BUFF brand from Michael's.  I think the hardest part was finding ears that "fit" correctly.  I had to eat quite a few that weren't *just* right. ;) 

Fingerprint Reindeers

Did you know Christmas is only 110 days away?  Wow, time is flying!!

These cute gift tags are easy to make & add a personal touch to your gift.  I don't recall who gave me this idea.  So if you are reading this and you're saying, "HEY!  You stole my idea!!" - please tell me so I can give you credit. :)

What you need:

*Card stock paper

*Brown paint

*Red paint

*Small paint brush

*Paper plate
*Black Sharpie
*Your kids

-Cut your card stock to the preferred size
-Pour brown and red paint on paper plate
-Lightly paint your child's thumb with brown paint and press on tag
-Use a dab of red paint on the tip of your child's pinkie finger and dab on the nose
-Let dry
-Once dry, use Black Sharpie to draw antlers and eyes

If the brown paint is too thick, the reindeer head won't dry very well and it will look like a blob of poop. :)  If you are using special paper, practice on plain paper first.  I used Caden's thumbs and Mason's pinkie last year since he was too small to sit still for more than 2 seconds. 

For the paper pictured, I used silver card stock and a corner rounder to round it out.

Ta-da!  Merry Christmas!
