Halloween Party Ideas

If you're looking for some party ideas for Halloween, you might find some new ideas here! We had a party last week for our kids and it was a huge success. This is what we served for food... My neighbor made the cookies, strawberries, and pudding. I made the sandwiches, juice boxes, veggie tray, and favors.

 Sandwich idea from Pure Joy Events.  There are tons of ideas on that blog!

 Juice boxes wrapped in white electrical tape. Idea from Parents.com

Pumpkin bowling was a huge hit! Idea from Be Different, Act Normal.

My neighbor made this totally awesome bat pinata! The kids had a ton of fun with that. She said it wasn't too difficult either. Instructions are at Martha Stewart. Also at Martha Stewart was a craft that we did... Check that out HERE. There are lots of great ideas there.

I forgot to take a picture of our ADORABLE favors, but here they are with a FREE printable. CLICK HERE.

Our easy and cute invitations were also FREE using a printable! CLICK HERE to see those.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

FONTS FONTS FONTS!

I LOVE fonts! I have HUNDREDS (probably THOUSANDS) of fonts on my computer and I LOVE finding new ones and thinking of projects to use them for. I use fonts to make cute additions to homemade cards, handouts for church, adding text to pictures in Photoshop, printables, making iron-on's for t-shirts (LOVE IT!), and of course using Sure Cuts A Lot and my Cricut to cut vinyl or freezer paper for stencils. The possibilities are ENDLESS!

What do I love more that cute fonts? FREE ONES! That is right, FREE! There are plenty of places where you can purchase fonts, doodlebats & SVG's, but there are some great places to  get free ones and really FREE is better.

Here are some links to some of my favorite places to find FREE FONTS:

Quick Mother's Day Gift Idea & FREE Printable

I needed a quick (and not too expensive) Mother's Day Gift Idea for the Young Women that I teach at church. As a presidency we came up with this idea of a personalized memo pad, after searching online and not being able to find exactly what we were looking for, I designed the following. Please feel free to use them for gifts for your own Mom or Grandmothers, please don't sell items you make, and if you blog about it please link back to this blog post, Enjoy!

What you need:

A magnetic photo sleeve (2 pack from Walmart $1.96)

Post-it Notes

4x6 Printable

Simply print the 4x6 either at home or at your favorite photo place, slip it into the magnetic sleeve, pull the back off your sticky notes and stick it on. We will be attaching a personal thank you from each of the girls. Now mom will be reminded how much she is loved everytime she makes a note.

Happy Mother's Day!
[So, I'm new to actually making printables to share (Hopefully, this is the beginning of something wonderful), just click on the image you would like, then right click and Save Image As to save it to your computer.]

Isn't that the CUTEST scarf you have ever seen? I saw the tutorial for these on KSL's Studio 5 yesterday and I fell in LOVE! I actually have already made two and I'm cleaning out the closets looking for old shirts and I am definitely going to the D.I. tomorrow!

What I love about these scarfs:

1. EASY and QUICK

2. Light Weight (I will totally be wearing these ALL year long!)

3. What a quick way to make a T and jeans looked girly!

4. INEXPENSIVE, totally FREE if you already have some T's to use or really inexpensive to find from a thrift shop!
