Class Party Favors

With two kiddos in school this year, I need to have double of everything for Christmas class parties. I’m keeping it simple though, and giving the same items for both parties.

I’m making little treat bags filled with Winter themed erasers, soft peppermints, and candy canes too. I save a little money too by using Wilton treat bags. They come in a package of 100, and since they are clear you can use them any time of the year.

I had a bunch of leftover Christmas labels, so I topped each of the bags with one to add to the holiday charm. I’ve got all of the bags ready for Dylan’s class, and I hope to finish up the bags for Thade’s class soon.

Gone Painting

It must be the dreary Winter weather, and me being stuck indoors with three kiddos, lately the house has been driving me insane! Yesterday  I couldn’t take the faded yellow in the bathroom any one minute more, so I headed out for some awesome black paint. Oh yes, the bathroom is looking quite different, but I’m really liking it so far. I’ll post some pictures of my latest project soon.

12 Months 12 Projects

This is one thing that I hope to get done this year, well make that 12 things. My list of projects that I need to do around the house is getting a little overwhelming, so I decided to tackle the list one month at a time. I figure there are 12 months in the year, that is plenty of time for me to complete 12 projects. So here they are in random order:

1. Finish painting Agnes’ Nursery
2. Paint the Master Bedroom
3. Paint the Upstairs Bathroom
4. Paint the Boy’s Room
5. Organize Agnes’ Nursery and Closet
6. Organize the Boy’s Room and Closet
7. Paint the Kitchen
8. Clean out the Utility Room
9. Deep clean all of the closets and cabinets throughout the house, and have a yard sale
10. Re-arrange the Kitchen, and make room for a pantry
11. Clean the back-yard, and organize all of the outside toys
12. Enclose the side porch and make a new office for James

Surely I’ll be able to get a few of these done this year…

Painting in Progress

Here is my hubby putting the first coat of Teaberry Pink paint on the walls! I am so excited! He even let the boy’s help out a bit too.

Just in case you are wondering what he is painting over it is three shades of midnight blue. The previous owners of the house had a “space themed” bedroom for their sons, and now the walls are switching over to pretty pink. James has his work cut out for him, but I really appreciate all of his hard work on the nursery.
