Teacher's Gift...

My older son will be starting preschool next week.. 

So this week we were saying good bye to our 

wonderful daycare family.

I put together a little "thank you" gift..

for the teacher's there.. 

I found the cute cup with the writing at the dollar store.. 

and the plastic mason jar at target.. 

and then I filled them with some goodies.

A quick and easy gift idea!

DIY...Elastic Hair Ties..

I have been eyeing those elastic hair ties from afar.. 

I saw them at Anthropologie.. 

and almost bought them.. 

when they were on sale.. 

even then.. 

I couldn't stomach the $8 for three hair ties.. 

So I saw a few tutorials on Pinterest.. 

too easy!

And there are some great shops selling the 

fold-over elastic.. 

I got mine from.. 

Headbands Etc and More.. 

and she offers free shipping on orders of $20 or more.. 

great deal!

She had quick shipping and offered great colors, 

even a few glitter ombre colors.. 

I used my Silhouette machine to cut 

the notecards out.. 

and then stamped them festively.. 

perfect little gifts!

I was able to make six sets of the red, white, and blue ties...

for approximately $3.20.

Here are some other sets I made up:

So much fun!

DIY... Simple Fourth of July Tags..

Here's a quick and easy DIY

to fancy up your Fourth of July givings

or tablescapes.. 

First punch out tags in red, white, and blue.. 

and then punch out tags to layer on top of them..

I am going to layer the tags with the festive colors underneath.. 

so I liked the neutral kraft on top.. 

but any color would be fine.. 

Next punch a star in the top tag.. 

Layer the tags on top of each other.. 

and then punch the hole for the string at the top.. 

I used eyelets to keep my tags together.. 

but you could just glue them together.. 

and then I laced them with red twine.. 

There you go, 

cute tags for the Fourth!

Farmer's Market Birthday Card

A simple little birthday card

I love the baker's twine..

Strawberry Cupcake Timeless Twine

Bunny Bookmarks...

So I did it.. 

and I ended up buying the Silhouette Cameo!

Ah-mazing!

I have only done a few small projects so far.

But here is a cute little 

Easter project.

Bunny bookmarks..

1.  Cut the images out

2. Cut a rectangle that will be the bunny pattern

then attach with some double-sided tape

3.  Then attach back piece with tape

4.  Beautiful bookmarks!

Too easy!
