I will be back

I feel bad that I haven't been able to post since I've been back home.  I'm getting over bronchitis and I have felt awful.  I will have some posts coming up soon.  :)

Back from Disney! Yay and boohoo!

I love Disney but am soo glad to be home!  I'll have some new posts later this week.   

Magnetic Travel Games

Here are the travel games I said I was working on from last week.  They turned out great!

I bought a game three pack from my local bargain outlet for $6.  It had bingo, two card games and checkers/tic-tac-toe.  

I also bought a few packs of magnetic sheets.  I put them on the back of the bingo cards and then covered with a cute paper.

I did the same to the checkers/tic-tac-toe board, but I had to pick which game to use.  Since my girls are still little they haven't really played checkers, so I covered that side and used the tic-tac-toe.

I added magnet buttons to the markers for tic-tac-toe.  

For the bingo markers we're just using the plain magnets.

Sleigh Ride

Every year it seems like I have less and less Christmas decorations.  Does anyone else have this problem?  Well I have been making some each fall to fill in.  

This was a cheapo black frame that I painted white and then aged it with a smoky glaze.  Then I just took a piece of glittered card stock as a background.  I cut the sleigh and the holly from the Christmas Cheer cartridge and the snowflakes from Accent Essentials.  The mat was a plain white so I added a white metallic paper over it and wrapped it with silver thread.  

Now I just need to find the perfect spot for it.

Goody Bags for a road trip

Road trips can stink when you have kids that are bored.  Yes?  So I'm trying to put together some things in a bag that they will get the morning we start off on our journey.  Because sometimes movies just don't cut it in the car.  I bought some plain red gift bags and decorated them Mickey style.

I used the cricut for the circles but I had to freehand the Mickey gloves.  Not an easy feat for me, the non-drawing person in this house.  Anything else artistic I can handle but I can barely draw a stick figure.  Anywho...I glued them on and added glitter.  I added a Disney phrase sticker on the backside and have started filling them up with coloring books, crayons, notebooks, autograph books for the characters to sign, a little toy.  Next week I will have another post on how to make a travel game which will also going in the bags.  :)
