Easter Goody Bags for Ian's Class

Every year I try to come up with NEW ideas for goody bags for my son Ian. And every year it's getting harder and harder...This will probably be the last year for GOODY BAGS! He's 3rd grade and he's a BOY...I know he dreads the holidays b/c he knows MOMMY will make goody bags...(I think he's embarressed! - oh why didn't I have at at least 1 daughter...oh well...hang on Ian - this is the last year.)

Here they are - all 30 of them. (he says there is only 28 students - but rather than have too little - I always make a little more jus' in case!)

 

Close up - used leftover scrapbook paper for the topper - ran it thru a crimper added a cute bunny digiclip (got from the net) and tied it on with lavender ribbon (coz for some reason I've got TONZ oft hat color of ribbon? - why I dunno?...)

Easter is jus' around the corner. Hope everyone has a great easter celebration! - till next posting - J

Ligaya's Baby Shower - Invitations & Centerpieces

Wanted a different kind of invitation - saw on the internet several designs - went with the easiest - no buttons in front. Decided not to go with an envelope and added a VELCRO to keep the invitation closed.

The centerpieces. Remember from my last post? I made a similar one that looked like a plant. Because this was a baby shower went with the BASKET PASTEL theme - since it's for 5/1 - right after easter. These were so much fun to make.I wish I had a little girl MYSELF!. (AHHH.. it's NOT the case.)

Just a photo with EVERYTHING together. I hope Ligaya likes it. Congratulations on the impending BIRTH of her NEW baby girl... tentaivly " Hailey" (as foretold by her big sister HANNAH. :)

NEVER-ENDING Card -

Busy month for me. 2 people left from my working place - didn't have a chance to take a photo of the "swing-card" I made for my co-worker Kalani - but I did get a chance to photograph this NEVER ENDING card I created for my Supervisor who FINALLy retired. ;) We attended her Retirement Party this Sunday.

Here's the Envelope - which I made up because the card itself is 8x8.

The 2ND Page - I left the sides for people to sign and added some BIBLICAL Verses that Sharon liked

The 3rd Page - more space for people to sign

Last Page.

Center Piece - Flower Globe

The finished centerpiece. Paper globe made with my scrap paper... Base is the "chinese" fortune teller paper craft we all did in elementary school (in my little kid days we did..) This is for the retirement party. Sharon likes DARK CHOCOLATE...

Retirement Party Favors & Crafts

Been busy creating for a co-worker who has FINALLY retired. Hope she'll like the goodies. ;)

Once the Tabs are Pulled out for journaling or putting photos in.

Not sure what to call this project. I made it with those EXTRA envelopes that they give with the "free" credit card offers. I've got tons at home so thought I'd make use of it. I got this idea from bits and pieces of many different sources...;)
