Angry Bird Birthday Invitations...

Rainee had been wanting an iPad tablet for sooooo long... that back in October I told, I would try to get her one... BUT... it would have to be for her birthday... AND...  she could either have a party OR a tablet... not both... so Rainee decided on the tablet... sooooooooo there wasn't going to be a party...

But as her birthday came closer... AND... mommy being mommy... I couldn't let her birthday go by

without her sharing it with a few friends & family... so when I told her we could have a cupcake party... no fancy thing birthday... what would she like this years birthday theme to be... she said an Angry Bird Party... And of course, me being me, I could just buy invitations... I had to make them... so here they are... Rainee's Angry Bird Invitations... and I love love love them...

Now that they're done... I've had so many people wanting to buy them... I'm thinking about putting the a digi file along with instruction on how to make them in my etsy store... what do you think???

Photos of the party will be coming... have a fabulous Wednesday...

Happy Memorial Day...

Freedom. I'm blessed to live in a country who fights for our freedom. Blessed by those who've served and are serving now. They chose to fight and even die for our freedom. So on this day of remembrance I want to say... I am grateful. I am blessed by the freedom they have made possible.
Thank you.

Teacher Appreciation - We're So Fortune-ate...

This year I headed up our PTA committee for Teacher Appreciation Week... for every day of this week each board member was given the task to do small thoughtful gifts for 2 of our teaching staff... then as an extra treat on Wednesday we're giving them an Ice-Cream Sundae Party...

For my day 2 gifts I did... We're so 'fortune'-ate to have you as one of our teachers... Our group of teachers are wonderful!!! I am sooo very happy Rainee attends this school... I truly feel fortunate to be able to share in this great school and staff... we are completely blessed by our teachers...


See you tomorrow...

Teacher Appreciation - S'mores

Do you love S'mores as much as I do? Well I thought this was such a cute saying for Teacher Appreciation Week I just had to use it...

But but but... I wanted to do something fun with the s'mores, instead of just a packaging up the the ingredients. So, I decided to make my very own "Michelle's Picnic S'mores".  I love making these tasty treats for a quick picnic surprise... I came up with these when I wanted to bring something fun and yummy for all the kids (young & old) to munch on at our park-day picnic...  These are soooo easy to make and there is never a crumb leftover...

Michelle's Picnic S'mores:
First, break apart graham crackers. Next, melt candy melts. Last, dip marshmallows in chocolate and place it on the graham cracker, now set aside on wax paper to dry... enjoy!
