Valentine

Merlynn found this cute idea for Valentines on the Internet somewhere. She wanted me to make a tag to go with it, so I put some cute digital Valentine papers together and made the tag. It turned out pretty cute so I decided to do the same thing for my class. It was actually pretty cheap, turned out cute and is NOT another sucker (you wouldn't believe how many Valentines come with suckers!!)

Baking Party

Megan wanted a birthday party this year so I gave her a few choices and she picked a baking party. Ashley helped me find some ideas and the party turned out pretty fun.

We had my mom make apron's and chef hats for the girls. The apron's were really cute and the chef's hat were white. Melanie came over the day before the party and she figured out how to make flowers out of coffee filters and cup cake holders. The girls loved making them and adding them to there hats. They made pizza and each decorated a cake of there own.



For the drinks I have seen this around in a lot of different place. I got a jam jar and covered it with a ribbon and then added a flower. Really easy and very cute.


For decorations I did a cupcake/coffee filter garland. It was easy, I bought different cupcake holders, coffee filters and just put a string through it. I also used a few doilies to add something a little different. The girls thought it was pretty fun.

For the cupcake decorations I couldn't find anything except Valentines colors so that is what they got. I put them in some glass goblets and it worked great. The cakes were very interesting to say the least. Each girl had a different take on what it should look like, some used a lot of decorations and some used only a little. I was glad to send the cakes home with them, I am sure there mothers didn't feel the same.

...more Read letters

I did these Read letters for our new teacher at school...didn't want her to feel left out. I think they turned out quite cute, although they aren't near as bright as the other two sets I've done.
