Poem: You Mustn't Quit!

I love this simple poem and its message, and its so true...

We Mustn't Quit!

Fun Birthday Party Set Up!

Fun Birthday Party Set Up!
I love making things, and I really love making things for kids. Here I've chosen a Minnie Mouse Theme!

At Christmas I made a special table for my grandkids.

I wanted them to like sitting at their table so I  made it special.

I started with the chair covers and I thought they would also make

a very cute Birthday table (above). When you make these use a

fabric that has a little give so they fit easier.

I love to crochet so I made these Minnie Mouse placemats.

They are super easy but if you don't know how to crochet.

You could make these with felt ( just sew or glue on the ears).

For the Minnie Mouse Name Cards.

To make the cut outs I used my ribbon spool to trace out the ears! I then used a CD and traced out the head! I applied a little tape and glue…and there you have it.

I applied the cut out to a wooden skewer, using tape.

Super easy and very inexpensive to make!

I inserted the Minnie Mouse cut out into a cheap balloon weight

that I picked up at my local Dollar Store!

I crocheted the Minnie Mouse gift bag that could be used

for party favors or for candy. I think a little girl would love it.

And again if you don't crochet you could use a small black paper

bag and put the mouse ears on the sides.

My cupcakes were super easy to make.

I used a pre-made fondant from the Michaels Craft store.

I applied black & yellow food coloring and made the famous

ears and then made some little shoes by hand.

I used home made butter cream frosting.

This really was inexpensive to make, and I think any little girl would love it!

I hope you've enjoyed looking at my blog and you find it useful!
