Felt Comes In Many Colors

And when you combine them all and spend many many many hours and late nights cutting it all up you end up with one FABULOUS Quiet Book! I am not kidding guys I out so many hours into this book and I absolutely love how it turned out! I have been wanting to make a book for a long time now and a couple months ago when the kids starting fighting over our other one I knew it was time! This book is for my daughter who is almost 17 months old, some of the pages are a little advanced for her but seeing as I was going to be putting so much time into this project I wanted it to be something that would last her a long time! 

Twice The Fun...

I was recently invited to a shower for identical twin boys!! EEK, I can't imagine having twins! I knew exactly what I wanted to make as the dad is a geek, just like my hubby. I think that presentation is important to so I tried to dress up my plain bags to look like bow-ties. I think they turned out pretty cute.

I love how these turned out, it was my first time using heat transfer vinyl and I am addicted, so much easier than freezer stenciling.

I kept everything really simple and plain and the mom2be really loved it!

I think these bibs are "awesome"!! I am glad I decided to do them at the last minute.

This family has an adorable little girl who is almost six and I wanted her to feel included so I picked up a big sister charm and added it to a chain for an easy but meaningful gift. I think it made her feel extra special that day!

Linking up to these great parties, I hope you will check them out!

Neighbor Gift Idea

I needed a super cheap neighbor gift this year and I found it!

I picked up the wrapping paper in a 3 pack for $1 and a 3 pack of tape for $1. 

Add some scrapbook paper from my stash and you have a fun gift idea! 

The tag reads:

Since November you've been shopping, 

barely sleeping, hardly stopping. 

Now it's late you're in a scrape, out of paper, out of tape. 

Hope this wrap helps save the day! 

Have a Happy Holiday!  

Total cost? .66 a piece!! You can't beat that!


I have made this saying into a free printable for you, I hope that it works, I have never done this before!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

I originally saw this idea over at Craftaholics Anonymous and I loved it! So I stashed it in my "To Do" file and knew that it would be perfect for my niece's 3rd birthday. It was so easy and pretty fast and I love how it turned out.

I also included a copy of the book and it was all packaged in a container for easy storage. 

To get the template for my food I just googled the food and printed it out full size. I backed all the pieces with denim and used spray adhesive to attach it.  

 I had to make my caterpillar a girl, I couldn't resist (she even has pink sparkly lipstick on!!) 

I have a few more pictures (like the butterfly) that I need to add but my laptop is not want to cooperate right now so I will get them up as soon as I can. I hope that the birthday girl liked it, I had fun making it!

Tile Coasters & Picture Holders

I have seen different versions of these Tile Coasters all over the blog world and thought I would try my hand at them, I LOVE how they turned out!! I especially love that they are not traditional Christmas colors. I am loving the red, blue & brown combination!! And then I just had to make these picture holders to match!! I can't remember where I first saw the idea but I think that it is so clever!!

Christmas Gift

This is what we did for the guys that my husband works with. He works in IT so we thought it was fitting. It was a little harder to find Floppy Disks but we found them. I just used hot glue to put them together and then we filled it with yummy treats.
