Meet Mr Fruit Turkey

Yes, I am that mom. The one who takes a simple request to bring a dish to their kids kindergarten lunch party and makes it complicated.  But Mr Fruit Turkey was a HIT!! The kids ate the entire thing, including his head, lol.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

School Days

I love a challenge, especially a 4' x 7' challenge that needed to be able to fold into a car. A dance instructor contacted me hoping I could make a stage prop for her students upcoming dance recital. We settled on creating a over-sized yellow school bus but since they didn't have a truck we needed to make it portable.  It was a pickle for a moment but cleverness prevailed and it came out great!

Whimsical Quinceanera

I met a lovely young lady who was planning a whimsical Quinceanera. She was looking for someone to make a large number of paper flowers for her bouquet, head bands, table settings and corsages. She needed over 100 hand made paper roses. Whew, am I tired after this one. 

Out Of The Paper Box: Recycled Sofia Dress

If there is one thing you should have learned about me is, I love learning new ways to crafts. So when I got a sewing machine, I had big plans. One being my making the kids costumes just like my mom made for me. Now I am still a novice so when Little Miss wanted to be Sofia the First , I had a big job on my hands and not enough experience to make a dress from scratch. Luckily, I found a regal purple dress that just needs some changes to make it work. I took it apart to put it back together but I think it came out pretty awesome. 

 Happy Halloween!!!

Monkeying Around

How cute not only is this customer putting up a name banner in a Monkey themed nursery but its for TWINS!  Hope this sweet little girls get tickled each time they see this cute little monkey banner. 

Choooo Choooo

Little Mister John looooooves, I mean looooves trains. So his mother didn't have to think to much on what his 3rd birthday theme should be.  She is more of a colors than a theme girl anyway.

Out Of The Paper Box: Teachers Kits

School is back in, yay!!!!!!  I am sure I am not the only parent celebrating. Since Little Miss PaperCuts school is private, the parents are expected to put in a certain number of volunteer hours. This little project covered mines for the first semester.  The administrator requested I make a gift of for the returning teachers.  This adorable survival kit was a huge hit with the teachers. Thanks Dollar Tree for making it happen at an affordable rate. Even the personalized coffee mugs are from the Dollar Tree, with vinyl names attached. Now I need a nap.
