Welcome Baby

These are 2 diaper cakes that I made for some of my friends. (Thank You pinterest for being inspiring) The "Stork Diaper Cake" was much, much, more easier than the motorcycle. The motorcycle wanted to make me pull my hair out. AAaahh! Both of them are super cute though, and are always a crowd pleaser to see displayed on a table somewhere.

Birthday Box

Like I said before I have been called into the Primary Presidency now, and I have came up with this idea for the birthday handouts.

Take a balloon

Some Candy

A sticker

Wrap with tissue paper and stuff inside a box.

Look! You have just created a Paper Birthday Cake. Now each child can come up and grab a slice of cake filled with yummies. What a TREAT! (sorry I ran out of ribbon thats why the top 1/2 only has it)

Here is the template that I found on line. Hope it helps in your cake decorating. If you google paper cakes, there are tons of designs that pop up. You can make them elaborate as you want. Mine are pretty simple due to budget issues.

I love the little handout that Sassy Sites gave her young women. It can be used for all of us!

Who Knew?

All month we have been preparing for our church's R.S. Birthday Celebration. Tonight was finally the BIG night. Our Activity Organizer, Sis. Gubler, came up with the idea of wanting to play Family Feud. I love games, so of course I was on board with this idea. She put me in charge of coming up with a gift to give the sisters.
What I came up with was an owl necklace. We had 3 different designs to choose from. When they wear them they can always remember "who" they came from and "who" their sisters are. I will have a tutorial on how to make these later.
Then for refreshments Sis. Gubler found these cute little owl cupcakes in a magazine. They followed along perfectly with our "Who" theme.
We even made a bunch of little owls too
We combined everything on one table. That way when they came up to get their dessert they could also pick out their gift.
Instead of calling our game Family Feud we called it "Who Knew" Hear is Sis. Gubler as the Host and me as Vana White. Yes, I know Vana is on Wheel Of Fortune, but somebody had to pull the answer cards off and keep score
For our teams we have the COOL KIDS (who ended up being our winners)
and the ROCKIN' SOCKIN' RELIEF SOCIETYOnce we started it got competitive REAL quick. Melanie means business. She is determined to hit that buzzer first. I didn't know these ladies could get so vicious.
What? Sis. Daniel only got 4 out of the 50 votes for, "Name a sister in our Ward?" Come on people she is our Relief Society president. She should have been the #1 answer.
People kept arguing some of the answers. But Sis. Gubler is like, "Hey don't blame me. I didn't make these answers up. I called all of you! This is what y'all came up with"
The highlight of my whole night was when Rose came up to play. She was so quick to buzz the buzzer and then froze. She couldn't remember her answer for anything. She kept blaming it on old age. It was the sweetest and funniest thing of the whole night. I Love her to death. Sis. Daniel had to end up coming up and telling her an answer in her ear because she could never come up with one.

I have to say all of our hard work paid off. We had such a fun time. I love when I am able to get together with all of these wonderful ladies. "Who Knew" they could be such fun?

Now remember the question....Do you know "Who" you are? I can never forget "Who" my sisters are. They always bring a smile to my face.

Candy Sundae

I know y'all remember me posting these candy sundaes that Sister Stuff made. Well I thought they were so cute that I had to make these for my kid's teachers for Valentines day. I changed mine a little differently. She made hers with a styrofoam ball, but I wanted mine to be completely edible. My secret ingredient was....
Pink Snowballs! My popcorn was attached with white icing instead of glue. I also couldn't find pixie sticks for some reason, so I opted for red twizzlers. I wish I could have found the short ice cream sundae cups, but the only ones I could find were the tall glasses. Sometimes you just have to make do with what you have. I thought they turned out super cute, as well as the teachers.
Unfortunately, we had a little miss hap on the way to school. Anthony insisted on carrying one of them. I'm sure you already guessed what happened...yep, he tripped, fell, and broke one of them. Ugh!

Stud Muffin

For Valentine's Day you might want to surprise your man with these. I don't know anybody who doesn't like being served breakfast in bed.

Me and my husband have been bickering lately, so I served my "Stud Muffin" up early. Good news, he woke up with a smile on his face, and the rest of the day went pretty smoothly. There is nothing like food to settle a fight

There is nothing special to making these. Its the thought and the creative way to twist your words. Just whip up a batch of your favorite muffins and make a card that refers to him being a "Stud Muffin". My card says, "Hey, Stud Muffin.....will you be mine?" Short, sweet, and to the point. Just how guys like it.

Christmas Gifts

Today was the last day of school before the holiday break. Of course we had to come bearing gifts. I had some flash back moments of things I have found while blog hopping. I thought it was about time that I made something that I've actually posted on this blog. I thought for the teachers I would do the Crayon Monogramming frames found at this old post. She made her's with the teacher's initial, but I wanted the gift to go to both the teacher and her assistance, so I decided to do their room number instead. That way they could hang it out on their wall to give it character instead of having your plain,boring, ugly, brown plaque that they put out to label all the doors. Here is what I came up with...
A1 is Anthony's classroom and KF is Isabel's classroom. I think they were a big hit, because Isabel's teacher actually started crying and hung it up right away. Another teacher walked in and saw how cute they were and said she wanted to put an order in for me to make her one too.
Yes, I did make them 2 different styles. Anthony wanted his with more chunky letters and Isabel wanted to keep it sleek and simple. Either way is cute.
Now for the wrapping...
I had another flash back from this post and thought it would make a perfect bow to top my present box off with. Who doesn't like M&M (many & many) Thanks!

For the kids it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Everybody has seen them before. Its the famous Reindeer Candy Canes. But I added a twist. We made reindeer food to go along with them. That way they could sprinkle some in the yard on Christmas Eve for the reindeer to snack on while Santa is putting presents under the tree. How do you make reindeer food? I'm glad you asked.They eat practically anything you have in your pantry. What I had on stock...Peanuts, oats, parsley (for flakes of grass), red & green sprinkles, and for the magic touch, some confetti and silver pixie dust (glitter) to help give them power to fly.
Mix it all up in a zip lock bag and shake. I tried mix it in a bowl, but all the glitter stuck to the sides. It didn't work, but some how shaking it in a bag did. Transfer them into little mini ziplock bags you find in the jewelry making section at walmart.
Print off direction sheets, so the kids will know what to do with it and slide it into the bag. Lastly, tie on your reindeer candy canes and VOILA!
Anthony wanted blue and white Reindeer
And Isabel wanted Rainbow ones.
The kids enjoyed their Christmas Party at school. And they loved to pass out their little treats that they made for their friends. Happy Holidays! Enjoy the break
