Crafts and Such

So, here is a little look at what I have been up to the last couple of days (other than painting, laundry, parenting, getting donations for my class reunion, and the list goes on...)!! This super cute little lunch box is actually a gift for a sweet little girl that is going to be a big sis in less than a month! It is filled with goodies that all 18 month old divas must have...bubbles, lip gloss, bubble bath and lotion! Every time Gentry sees the box, she says "cute." I am telling ya, that girl thinks EVERYTHING is cute these days! I am sure you would NEVER guess that we tell her she is cute ALL the time!!




And here is a little craft that Huntler and I made today...a snack bucket. I totally stole the idea off of Super Nanny, but we added our own special touch! I let Huntler do most of the work...I just did all the decoupaging to make the stuff stick! Oh, okay, okay, my obsessive compulsiveness did kick in and I had to guide him to where and how "we" wanted the stickers placed! But, he thought it was all him, and that is what counts!! Anyway, the "purpose" of the bucket is that you are supposed to let your kids pick out three snacks each morning and put them in the bucket and those snacks should last all day. Of course, we have nothing in the house that qualifies as a snack, so there will be a shopping trip in the next few days to restock, but once we have some granola bars, fruit snacks and other goodies, we can put our bucket to use! Now I just have to whip one up for Gentry!




And here is a quick glimpse of something I have been wanting to do forever!! I have seen these ribbon covered clips all over (and quite expensive for no more material or time than they take!) and knew that I could make them! I have more ribbon than I will ever need, so yesterday I decided to dive right in. They are far from perfect (I am an extreme perfectionist), but they are pretty darn cute if I do say so myself!
