Tangled Party Favors

 How cute are these? I can take no credit for them.  My cute sissy-in-law Maggie made them for my little girls Tangled birthday party.  I can hardly wait to see all the little girls faces when they see them!

Would you be intersted in a tutorial?  I bet I could get  her do one if there is enough interest.  I think she's done all of the princesses.  Leave some comment love if your interested.

Chunky Paper Flowers

Aren't these cute? I made these to put as toppers on a visiting teaching gift I did. You can get the template here. Hers turned out way cuter than mine and I love the pixty stick idea. That was what I originally planned, but I forgot to grab them so I just stuck these on boxes of cookies.

Didn't have quite the same effect, but it was cute.

P.S. please ignore the date of the pictures, I just realized my kids must have been playing with the camera.

Have a beautiful day!

A Birthday Cake Only a 4-year-old Could Love.

I am not artistic when it comes to drawing or to decorating cakes. It is the worst combination of things to have me do. Today is my Tyson's 4th birthday and he had his heart set on a Wall E Cake. The boy is having cake 3 times this week!!! So rather than buying a cake I decided to make a cake and I was going to try and free hand a Wall E picture on the cake. My sister-in-law, Kris suggested printing off a picture of Wall E and cutting it out and tracing it onto the cake with frosting. GREAT IDEA!! It really was! And if someone with one ounce of artistic ability did it, then maybe it would have turned out.

They look nothing alike!

I can't decide if it looks like ET or or Wall E. I'm leaning twoards to ET. My kid's don't even know who ET is!! Mandee said maybe Short Circuit! I've never seen it, but maybe~

It's the saddest cake I've ever seen! But it made this little guy grin the biggest birthday grin ever!

Happy Birthday Tyson!

Happy 100 years Grandma!

My Grandma is turning 100 years old today!!! Think about it.....1908 is when she was born. This was when:

*only 14 percent of the homes had bathtubs

*average life expectancy was 47

*Henry Ford developed the first Model T automobile and it sold for 850 dollars

*The speed limit was 10 mph in most places

*The average wage was 22 cents an hour

*sugar was 4 cents a pound

*Most women only washed their hair once a month,and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo. *The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was only 30

*There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day

*Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores.

*There were about 230 reported murders in the entire U.S.A.

*Federal spending: $0.66 billion

*Theodore Roosevelt was the President

My grandma is one of the greatest people I know. She is always so positive and has a great way of looking at the world. She has seen so much evolve and can't figure out how a cell phone can work the same way as a "rotary phone". I love to hear her stories, my kids do too.

What a legacy she holds. She has five children, 17 grandchildren, 45 great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild. I am so proud to call her my grandma. We have always had a special bond and I know it will lead to the eternities.

It is kind of crazy to me that today is election day-the most important one-and she was born 100 years ago today. The things she must be thinking..........WE LOVE YOU GRANDMA!!!!!!!!!!
