Car Caddy

I wish I had made this one! This was my inspiration and can be found on "So You Think You're Crafty" week #3. This one is super cute and you have to go check out the other pictures. Julia received an invitation yesterday to a birthday party today. The mom said that we didn't need to bring gifts but.... I had plans to take Julia to Toys 'R' Us to pick something out for her friend. I'm trying to teach her about sharing/giving to others. Just as I was about to leave I realized that my husband had my wallet in the car he drove to work! So I had to get creative.

Below is my take on the car caddy. I can't wait to see who is the creator of the one above and if she will do a tutorial. I was winging it on sizes and such.


See, hers is way cuter! (and she takes better pictures of her stuff) But again, it's about fun not perfection. Hope the little boy likes his little car caddy.

Little Girls Apron

This little project cost me about 10 dollars (thanks you Beverly's coupons) and about 1 1/2 hours to make. Not too shabby for a 3 year old's birthday gift. Julia received an apron just like this and I used it as my inspiration and pattern. I'm not sure if you can tell in the picture but it has 3 pockets in front. Now K is ready to help her mommy in the kitchen!

Caramel Apple Kit

I saw the cutest Caramel Apple Kit on the blog Homemaking Fun. I just had to try to make it. So I headed out to Michael's to grab supplies. Apparently, everyone else in my town decided to make it also because they were out of the small clear paint cans. No problem. I bought the bigger paint can. Also, instead of putting the instructions on the inside of the can I put mind on the outside attached with ribbon. By using the larger can I was able to fit 4 Granny Smith Apples, toffee bits, the Kraft caramels/popsicle sticks, Wilton Chocolates for melting, black/orange sprinkles, and pecan bits.

My finished product! It was fast and easy to complete.

The backside of the jar. You can see how I crammed everything in. :)

Do you see the washer hanging to the side on the ribbon? That is how you open the paint can. Don't throw it away. This was my first time buying one of these paint cans.
