Homemade catapillar invitations

So, Braydon is turning three and I decided to make his invitations. It was very simple and I really just threw them together. You can make them more "perfect" if you'd like, but I like the raw edge of it.



I bought some colorful cardstock, wiggle eyes, and colorful brads. I cut 4 circles and a catapillar head with antenna. Next, I glued the wiggle eyes and punched a hole for the brads to go through. It folds up pretty nicely.



I wrote on the body of the catapillar:
Oh my goodness...How can it be? Our little Braydon is turning "three"!

I think they turned out pretty good and they cost about the same or less as picking up a package of ready made.

Update on consignment shopping

Well, I bought 35 pieces of clothing for around $88.00 for the boys. I was disappointed with the size 5 selection of shorts and pants though. On the upside I made nearly $50.00 from the older size 18-24 month clothing Braydon outgrew.

Speaking of Braydon....he is turning 3 in a couple weeks. I can't believe it. I am busy party planning. I am only inviting about 6 children...not his whole class. I just don't have the energy to do a big party. I think maybe 4 of them will show up. I am planning a dirt/bug party. Sounds funny-eh?

I am going to make a dirt cake for him with gummy worms coming out of it. He LOVES gummies. I have a few cute ideas for party favor/crafts and invitations. I'll let you know when I finalize.

Shriner Circus Pictures!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the Shriner's Circus!! Braydon loved the elephants!

Here was a lion who was actually acting like a big kitten.

Nolan's favorite was the tigers! GRrrrrrrr!

Poppy joined us too and treated the boys to a pony ride. They enjoyed it!

Mouths full of cotton candy.....their new favorite type of treat!

Which Heroine Are You?

Take the Quiz here!

You are Marianne Dashwood of Sense & Sensibility! You are impulsive, romantic, impatient, and perhaps a bit too brutally honest. You enjoy romantic poetry and novels, and play the pianoforte beautifully. To boot, your singing voice is captivating. You feel deeply, and love passionately

Circus Time Again

We are going to the Shriner's Circus tomorrow night with the boys. (I am sorry if I offend anyone who is against going to the circus) I support the Shriners and what they do for the childrens hospitals across the country.

We love to see all the clowns, elephants, tigers, acrobats, and other acts the circus has to offer. We can't wait!

The consignment sale is going great. I bought 20 pieces of clothing for $58.00 yesterday and plan to go on Sunday when it is 50% off. I have sold a little over $30.00 as of last night and today is the first day open to the public.
