Marry You

I love weddings.

Even though I have been married for a LONG time, I still watch all the wedding programs.

I love looking at wedding Pinterest boards (hey you never know. We may renew our vows) I also love making wedding gifts. One of my favorites that I give as a shower present is homemade potpourri.

 

Needed:

Red rose petals

Cardamon pods

Vanilla beans

Pink tulle

 

Mix the flowers and spices together. Tie into a pink tulle pouch

Thank You

It's teacher appreciation week, and in our neck of the woods, the last full week of school. In my world, it's also the world of making treats and gifts for those charged with making a difference in Children's lives.
I saw something on Pinterest that was a great idea.

 I clicked and landed at www.littlepumpkingrace.com, and a few hours and a bit of a shopping trip later, I had what I needed to make this year's thank you gift.
What you need:

Cardstock (a variety to layer)
Ribbon
Glue
Mason jar
Smarties
Markers

Put the smarties and markers in the jar.
Tie ribbon around the neck of the jar.
Layer the cardstock. Write on there:

Thank you for marking my life and making me a smartie!

I decorated the gift bag with some giant felt stickers that were in butterfly and dragonfly shapes, and added colored tissue paper.
