Valentine- friendship bracelets cards

For valentines day I wanted to make the kids homemade valentines to pass out their classes. Emma had come home with a friendship bracelet and that reminded me of a item that I had pinned a while ago: Valentine's friendship bracelets via dandee http://pinterest.com/pin/56576539040923162/.
I started that night making the bracelets and had them done in no time! Emma was so excited to pass out her cards!

Valentine-Mustache you a question

For valentines day I wanted to make the kids homemade valentines to pass out their classes. I had just downloaded to mustache cartridge for my circuit craft room and I had black felt leftover from another project. Light bulb!!! For Max, I will make mustaches to give away.
I cut out the mustaches images and put glue dots on one side and stuck it to the sucker. I found the image and sized it down to fit on the sucker wrapper and tapped it.

Max reported that the kids all enjoyed the mustaches and the suckers.

At home Gel Manicure

I'm always looking for something fun to try and save money... And I always come up with something on Pinterest! I love to have my nails painted but it never seems to last more then a day :( until I found this pin: http://pinterest.com/pin/56576539040824333/
I followed her steps and it worked great! I had buy the get the Gelous Nail Gel and the Out The Door Fast Drying Top Coat. The gel was about $5.00 and I got the big bottle of top coat for about $13.00. Still under the money I would pay for one manicure at a nail place.

It lasted for a week and might have lasted longer if I wouldn't have got stressed at work and started picking at them. I have to travel, for work, this up and coming week and can't wait to paint them and not have to worry while traveling!

Snowman kit

I had been looking for ideas for holiday gifts to give to friends then I stumbled onto a snowman kit on Pinterest. http://pinterest.com/pin/56576539040408889/
 I love the idea so I had to make a few sets for friends. I bought top hats and cut a snowflake to put on the hats and I wrapped one with the red felt and left the other one as it came. I cut out the scarf and made the rest of it with clay, I did as the lady said and baked with the sticks with wire on them but after baking them I went ahead and put hot glue around the sticks. I hope they stay on :) I have only made two so far.. It takes a lot more clay then I was thinking.... Gulp. Now we just need some snow so we can all try out the snowman kits. :)
