Cookie Monster Valentine Treat Bag

I know people generally focus on the Valentines for V-Day. But isn't the bag/box that holds the valentines

important too? ;) I made this cute Cookie Monster Treat Bag that would also make just an adorable gift bag/goody bag!

 Let's get started:

Supplies:

1 dark blue gift bag

Glue

Black, white, and brow paper

Black marker

 Start with bag...

 Glue on eyes (color white circles with marker), mouth (big, curved black paper shape), and cookie (partly folded brown circle with marker choco-chips).

You're done! That was easy!

Happy (two-day-early) Valentine's Day!

Blog Organization

I need to organize my blog posts and ideas. What I've previously been doing is keeping stapled pages of all my ideas. I never thought about organizing my blog posts until I read this from The Letter 4 blog.

It has changed my view on blogging... and inspired me!

Creativity can be unleashed!

 

 My cover - isn't it cute! I am in LOVE with that font!

I love the idea (recommended by The Letter 4) Elsie had. She covered a wall with all her ideas and thoughts!

(real-life Pinterest, anyone?) The Letter 4 put all their ideas on sticky notes!

My binder came with this plastic holder. The sticky notes + pen fit in perfectly!

The Letter 4 has their adorable printable! I created my own, because I don't have any sponsors yet.
Calendar + Notes Printable
This printable can be a little funky - on Google Docs, click 'Download Original'. You might have to
make a few simple changes, and you can personalize it if you like.

How do you organize your blog? I'd love to know!

Nerd Monster Valentines

Hooray! Valentine's Day is almost here... and I have some super easy valentines to go with it!

Supplies:

Wonka Nerds boxes

Paper or craft foam

Tape

Glue

googly eyes (optional)

Start with some Nerd boxes...

 Cover the box with paper and tape in the back

 Glue on eyes and mouth. Now you can add a   To: From:   paper on the back.

Finished with the first monster!

Cookie Monster:

 Cover with paper or foam (I only had blue craft foam in 'Cookie Monster' color)

 Glue on eyes and mouth. Now make a cookie out of brown paper + marker. Fold one side down a bit and glue the flap to the mouth.

Done with monsters!

 You can make monsters from any square candy - candy heart boxes for example.

 Try testing out different characters: Spongebob squarepants would be easy (since he's square), other Sesame Street characters, or some animals (elephant, fish, dog, cat).

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Yarn Pot (completely made of yarn!)

So this yarn pot was kind of an experiment. It's a fun craft though and the outcome looks great!

Plus you can use any yarn to coordinate with room colors.

Supplies:

Yarn

Elmer's glue

Piece of cardboard

Start with your square of cardboard... (mine's rounded at the edges, but it doesn't really matter because

you're cutting the remains off anyway)
