The Kit Kat Cake

I think this is such a fun idea for a party or birthday!

Fabric Binky Clip

I LOVE the beaded binky clips for girls, but for my little guy I thought I needed something a little more masculine and sturdy :) So I googled fabric binky clip tutorials and found this one. It was simple even I could figure it out!! I bought some more fabric to make another one too. I think they are so cute!

Taggie Crinkle Toy

I had some left over fabric from a blanket that my mom made me so I decided to make a crinkle taggie toy. Have you heard of those? It is basically soft material your baby can grab onto, chew and it crinkle as they play with it. The best part about making one is that you can use scraps of material and ribbon you have lying around. I used this tutorial. Hope my little guy likes it!

Baby Boy Book

I have had this BABY chipboard book forever! I decided I might as well make it for my new baby! I found these papers at a local scrapbook store and fell in love with them! I love the colors! I just left spots where I can journal or put a small picture. Don't you love when you finally use up some of the stuff you have had forever! Here are the pages:

Girl Burp Cloths (Gift Idea)

I made this gift for a friend that had a baby

Birthday Cards

I did a post here about making a scalloped border. I did the same technique while making these cards but used a smaller circle punch. I love making and giving homemade cards!

April Fools' Treat

Happy April Fool's Day!

Our after school snack today is defiantly going to be candy sushi!
My kiddos will love them. I mean how can you go wrong with rice krispie treats, Swedish fish, fruit rolls ups and gummy worms?

Add chop sticks to eat them with for even more fun!
Totally fun to make, not too difficult, and pretty tasty!
