Birthday Party Favor Gifts

These were ordered for a special girl who is moving away.  She wanted a small party with her closest friends in attendance.  She wanted to give a gift that would allow her friends to remember her... I think  these will do the trick!  I'm hopeful that her friends will cherish these for many years to come.  "T," I hope you will love making new friends... and remember to keep the old.  :)

3/4" sterling silver circle discs at $15 each, simple initial stamp with background daisy/flower stamps added (so not one will be the same!), pink stones at $3 each, and stainless steel ball chain necklaces at $5 each.  $23 each -- a gift that will last for many years to come!

It rained?!

It was a strange thing yesterday.... we walked eldest to school and it was nice and clear.  By the time middle went to school. (3 hours later) .. well, it rained!  I mean, it rained!!!!  It was the strangest thing, ever!  The boys were so excited to use their umbrellas in JUNE!
So here's a cute photo of youngest one and his buddy sharing an umbrella.  His buddy scootered but left it somewhere between his home and school!  (little legs get tired sometimes!) So we walked with them back toward home... and youngest one ended up staying at his buddy's house while I went home to get some work done.  It's so nice to have friends!  :)  (thank you Ali!)

 How cute are they?!!!

To infinite....

and beyond!
This is for a sweet young lady who is grown up but has such a young spirit about her.  I asked her months ago if she could wear a phrase, what would it be.  This was her answer.  I LOVE IT!!!!

1" sterling silver circle washer $25, 2 birthstones $6, star charm $5, 16" sterling silver 1mm diamond cut chain. Total $36

For a really great school music teacher

She's really soft spoken, encouraging, always cheerful, fun to speak with, and just plain nice!  :)  The children really like her.  Oldest child goes to her for singing and music.  She is learning the recorder this year.  (and thank goodness doesn't  have any desire to practice at home!)   Middle child goes to her for singing and comes home reporting about how many "wow" cards they have received.  Apparently after so many they get a popcorn party!  Anyway, we just wanted to show our appreciation to her.  Tonight the Kindergarteners are performing some songs for the parents.  We were going to give her this...  But middle child is sick...  :(

We thought this guitar pick was cute...

 But ended up doing it as a key chain/ring instead:

Benefits of being a Sous Chef

His older brother and sister had a "Boot Camp" school activity this day.  We were making a treat to bring for our picnic lunch with them after the event...
Rice Krispie treats.... it's been a long time since we've made this!

 He soon discovered the benefits of his title as Mommy's sous chef!  He was NOT disappointed with the end results!

Happy Monday everyone!!!!  Have a great week!
