Oh Snap!

Remember when that was the big phrase of middle school??? It brings me back to East Cary...

Anyways, I have one more fabulous 4th project! These are little "goodie bags" for all the people we are going to get to see over the long weekend. The Craft Rescue Hero and I are going home to visit both sides of the family and his Pops will be celebrating his 87th (?? I think) birthday!

I saw this idea on Pintrest and recreated it with everything from my craft supplies, with the exception of the Snap Dragons (and they are on sale at Kroger for 50 cents this week). I put one box of Snaps in a small jewelry bag. I stapled on half an index card, with a 3 x 2 3/4 inch clearance paper taped on top. I used my Cricut to cut out the letters "Oh Snap" and glued them on. They were pretty easy to put together and super cute! I just hope I don't blow up my luggage!

Without further ado...

How cool are they? I think they are super sweet and a great way to say, I am thinking about you!

On a side note, I mentioned Pintrest... if you aren't on Pintrest, it is an incredible way to find new ideas and inspiration. You can follow me here on the coolest place ever!

I've linked this bad boy up to a bunch of parties... check my party page for all the awesome sites!

Fourth of July Wreath

I am not usually one for holiday decorating. In fact, I almost never decorate for the holidays. But, I saw this wreath made of foil and decided to try it for myself. I made mine out of a cheap straw wreath from Hobby Lobby that I wrapped in 50% off satin ribbon. I attached the flowers with the cheapest nails in large numbers I could get at Lowes. I used a box and a half and they were $1.27 a piece. I had everything else.... so all in all, less than $5! Yay!
Without further ado, the pictures!
