Freezer Paper T-shirts...

My name is Greta & I'm additcted to

all things freezer paper stenciled!

This craft is majorlly addictive

so easy & fun!

All you need is freezer paper it's made my Reynolds

It can be tricky to find but I found some at Wal-mart

you also need an iron, fabric paint, xacto knife & some sponge brushes

Michaels & AC Moore usually run these on sale for 20/$1.00!

I like to browse through Google images for ideas

and trace things I like

after you have your design on the freezer paper

you use your xacto knife to cut out the image

then iron it shiny side down to the item you want

stenciled

Paint with your fabric paint

*(line the inside of your shirt or item with cardboard to prevent bleed through)

 & let dry

after it's dry remove freezer paper & heat set image with your iron

Lego Storage...

As a mother of 3 boys I know first hand that

there is nothing worse than stepping on Lego's

so after about the 100th time it happened to me

 I thought of making my boys

 this...

This cute little Lego man is made from

a cheap yellow with red lid trash can

from the Dollar Tree.

Then I printed out some circles for the eyes

and a thin line for the mouth.

For only $1.00 and a little creativity my

boys now have cute storage for those

pesky little Lego's!

As I'm writing this blog post I'm thinking to myself

this would be cute to make for a Lego theme party!

Softball Cake...

This cake I made for my daughter's All-Star softball team

The 2012 Darlings

All-Star Softball Team!

This is what Cake looks like after

12 hungry softball players get through with it! LOL

Spy Training...

 Today was a rainy day & I couldn't get

the kids outside so we made a

spy training obstacle course another

Pinterst idea from this wonderful blog

http://andeverythingsweet.blogspot.com/search/label/And%20Everything%20Else?updated-max=2010-08-12T18:11:00-07:00&max-results=20&start=14&by-date=false

in our hallway!

Tape, more tape, & did I mention tape?

I just stuck it in random places

made some low, some high & some

overlapping. This wasn't the smartest

thing I ever did but I had trapped myself inside

of this obstacle course while designing it

& the kids thought it was hilarious

that I was stuck and had to go through it to get out;)

I wish I had a picture! LOL

School's Out Party...

The kids last day of school was today

so I had wanted to plan a little surprise

for them when they got home!

I went to Dollar Tree and bought

party supplies in primary colors

then I went through my school supplies

and found some flash cards to use for decorations

I printed out some clip art from the web

and taped it up over my usual kitchen pictures

I printed some summer theme word searches off the

web & used them as place mats.

I also made them each a diploma to move up

to the next grade!

I now have kids in Pre-K, Second & Third grade!!

The kids requested

Strawberry Shortcakes for dessert;)
