Crafting Chaos: Cinco de Mayo Edition

One of my favorite holidays is Cinco de Mayo. When I went to Bonneville Junior High, I took Spanish with Señor De La Cruz (to this day he's still one of my all time favorite teachers). The highlight of our year was the Spanish fair at BYU. It was there that I learned about the holiday. Some people use it to party, but I prefer my fiestas to be in my casa.

Thanks to Pinterest, it's so easy to find great craft projects at the click of a mouse. These are some of my favorites.

I love these piñata cookies! They are so cute and the directions are really well written and easy to follow.

The margaritas in a jar from Living Locurto are so adorable and super easy. And as a bonus-free printables!

I couldn't open the link for the party decor, but that just looked like lots of fun.

I even found a great outfit to wear on the Fossil blog (I already own the shoes!)

Now I just need to round up some amigos and amigas and have my fiesta!
