Felt Flash Cards

What a cute idea and completely indestructible!  I can't wait to give them a try!  Follow Sew Much Ado's simple tutorial.  If you make two sets you can use them as a memory game too!

It's for the Dogs!

As Halloween approaches I have been keeping my eye out for cute costumes.  Today it's for the dogs!!

Check out the "how to" for this one from Martha Stewart.

She also has these fabulous dog tags that I think I will need to try out.  They would make great gifts too!

See the tutorial at Martha Stewart's site!

Kiddo's Quotables

My friend Tara came across this super cute Free Printable.  Amy at Delightful Distractions designed this little book for keeping track of all those cute little things your kiddo's say.  I know... you're thinking, "Kelly, your kiddo is only 4 months old".  Well , I better start getting ready now, by the time he starts talking it will be too late!  Amy gives several ideas on how to use her printable.  I plan to follow her lead but also plan to scan them once they're filled in and use them in my digital scrap book.  Head on over to Delightful Distractions to check it out & let her know what you think!

Look ahead to next week...  
I will be doing an entire week of T-Shirt makeovers.  Wait until you see what I've come up with.  Super cute, easy, and virtually free.  You'll be so excited to give them a try!!  Come check it out and let me know what you think!

Is it a bag? Is it a play mat?

I've been on the hunt for a new diaper bag lately.  I have not been pleased with the one I have.  It's just way too deep and doesn't have enough pockets for me to find what I need.  So yesterday I decided to check out Etsy.  I figured there must be other mom's out there that couldn't find what they needed and finally broke down to make their own.  Not sure that I found exactly what I wanted but I did find this!  It's a bag and a play mat, could be a changing pad too.  I think it is super cute and a fantastic idea.  Check out Snug as a Bug Baby Etsy site!!!

Friendship Bracelet Kit

Friendship bracelets remind me of our annual trips to Central Oregon.  My cousins and I would spend plenty of time making various bracelets.  I love this cute gift idea!!!  It was a collaboration between the ladies at Tatertots and Jello and the sisters at Eighteen25.  

to make a kit to keep or give as a gift, you'll need:

• a DMC craft organizer (ours came with plastic floss bobbins)
• a pack or two of embroidery floss
• a small clipboard (6x9)
• large elastic (to wrap around the box)
• tag download

They covered their clipboard with the Friendship Bracelet Kit label.
