I LOVE ART - Sneak Peak

This is my last week of summer vacation... Wow - it went buy so fast... I wish I had at least 2 more weeks!

Last week I reopen my shop and I got new items! I am also working on some back to school orders and will post a picture soon... {visit my shop and take a look on BACK TO SCHOOL items and teacher's favors}

Besides all that craziness - organizing school supplies, uniforms, etc. I am working on my next party - and the theme is: I LOVE ART - {can't wait to set up the dessert table!} Colors will be yellow, pink, and blue and here is a little sneak peek...ENJOY!

BACK to SCHOOL!!!

I am finally back! It was a good summer and I am glad to be back home and working again! Here are a few ideas for a back-to-school teacher gifts and/or classmates!

I made a few personlaized post-it covers for my daughter's teachers. I am also working on a few personalized chocolate bars! Will post the photo soon! For the classmates they are giving tubes filled with gumballs and pencils. Very cute! The post-it and clear tubes are available {in different sizes} in my ESTY store.

These are so versatile and can be filled with any small candy, gum, cookies, cereals, and school supplies like pencils, color pencils, markers, paper clips, etc! A very "inexpensive" favor idea! Go over my shop and see other ideas for back to school!

First Day of School...

WOW - This summer went by faster than any other... today was the first day of school and my daughters were so excited and ready! My 4 year old is starting on the new school {Pre-K 4} - I am so happy she joined WCS - and my 7 year old is starting second grade.

It was great to see everyone! I missed that! Just need to get used to getting up at 6:00 am again :(

Here are a few pictures of the lollipop holders they took to their friends and my newest candy box, perfect for mini Hershey's! {so cute - will be available in my shop soon!}

 

 

Hope to come back soon!

End of the School year Party!

Here are some pictures of the cupcake toppers and card I made for the end of the year party for my first grade daughter... can't believe how fast it was... now, getting ready for her birthday party and summer vacation!

The Schultüte

My oldest daughter is starting school soon and she is going to First Grade! We are so excited! She is actually counting the days to go back to school.

I wanted to do something special for her first day and decided to try to make my own Schultüte.

If you never heard about a Schultüte now you too can make one!

When children in Germany set off for their first day in school upon entering first grade, their parents and/or grandparents present them with a big cardboard cone, prettily decorated and filled with toys, chocolate, candies, school supplies, and various other goodies. It is given to children to make this anxiously awaited first day of school a little bit sweeter.

My daughter is really into Dr. Seuss books so I decided to fill the cone with some Dr. Seuss school supplies.

You can find them here or follow the tutorial here and make your own!
