Sleep over Invitation

It's birthday party time once again and Kimberly wanted to have a sleep over. So, I had seen this card idea months before and wanted to use it for the invitations. Each little girl had their own hairstyle along with her pillow and teddy bear:) Inside the sleeping bag was the invitation. It was a lot of fun to make all the pieces. I borrowed a Cricut machine from a friend and spent a lot of time searching for just the right "sleep over" outfit!! I had matching slippers to go with the pajamas, but then you couldn't really tell what she was wearing. The girls had the best time getting their invites in the mail that week:) How great. Kimberly sent out sleeping bags again for her "thank you's".

Special Valentine's delivery




One of Courtney's girlfriends takes her school classes via the internet. So, when all the abundant snow came this winter and all the children from public school had "snow days", Kathryn was still doing her work at home! SHE didn't think this was very fair. What 6 year old would?? So, I made her a Valentine's mailbox and my girls put valentines in it to surprise her. We understood that she wouldn't be having a Valentine's party like they would either. Kathryn was thrilled to see it when we took it to her. What a fun project! I've also made these mailboxes for each of my sister's families and Grandmommy. (Each were monogramed and filled when delivered.) That way each grandchild and grandparent can make and send Valentines to each other every year:) How SWEET!!
