  • Project: day 140: get crafty & crafty kiddos: cute and simple party craft + favor in one: monogrammed pillow cases!
  • Difficulty rating (1=easiest, 5= way too hard!): 2, a bit time consuming to iron on each letter straight, but thanks to my mom (she’s amazing), it went very smoothly!
  • Would I do it again? yes. It was a great craft/activity for the girls to do while they were waiting for their next spa station! They signed each girls pillow case with their names and pictures; they loved it!
  • What I would do differently: I could not find larger letters anywhere! Oh well, zebra pattern is Hayden’s favorite!
  • Items used: white pillow cases, sharpies (I know, dangerous!), cardboard inside each pillow case so the ink did not bleed through, iron-on zebra print letters (from Michael’s).

Until ipinterest tomorrow!

  • Project: day 126: cooking it up/ a special way to celebrate a birthday: birthday pancakes with sprinkles, candles, and “frosting”
  • Difficulty rating (1=easiest, 5= way too hard!): 1
  • Would I do it again? yes, and probably will for every birthday! It was another great way to start a birthday morning!
  • What I would do differently: nothing! I might try doing it with the cake batter as per the original source, but I thought pancakes would be a better way to start the day versus cake! Hey, the sprinkles were already way different than what we would typically have for breakfast!
  • Items used: pancakes, sprinkles, candles, and “frosting” (half and half and powdered sugar), and the adorable idea from: http://www.tasteandtellblog.com/2011/09/birthday-cake-pancakes/

• Project: day 98: get crafty/ Hayden’s spa sleepover birthday/ cricut craft decorations!
Difficulty rating (1=easiest, 5= way too hard!): 3. Ok, I know it’s probably easy for a lot of people, but it was my very first Cricut craft I finally broke down and got one, and was throughly impressed!
• Would I do it again? yes, and I’m sure I will be doing many more in the near future!
• What I would do differently: I was definitely learning when I was doing this, and have the time I really didn’t know what I was doing, so I’m sure I will eventually learn to do many things differently!
• Items used:

• Difficulty rating (1=easiest, 5= way too hard!): 2. Hayden wanted to help with all of her birthday plans this year, so she was a great helper!
• Would I do it again? yes! Hayden picked out the color scheme of this banner, but you could easily switch it up for a boy, or any other party colors
• What I would do differently: use a circle cutter or any other better tool other than scissors and craft wave scissors! A touch difficult, but it still turned out ok!
