New in the shop

Recently added to my shop are these fun little cupcake toppers...

I'm working on some other additions and I hope to add them to the shop throughout the week.

This week I'll be posting some Valentine favor ideas here, and on Monday come link up your projects at the Catwalk!

Mickey birthday invitations

Hot Dog!    Hot Dog!     Hot Digity Dog!

My little guy is turning two in few weeks!  Sometimes I can not believe how fast time goes by.  I usually do themes for their parties to make it a little more exciting for them.  He likes Mickey Mouse these days so it seemed appropriate to do a Mickey theme.  I wanted to make some fun invitations to match, so I got to it last night when the kids went to bed.  Here is what I came up with...

I looked online for an outline of Mickey's head and used that for the template.  

The Mickey head with all the info slides into the the red bottom. 

They're all ready to be mailed.  Next project for his party will be making cupcake toppers.  

I'll share those when they're done, too.   More to come!

Dreams of Disney

In just a little over a year we plan to take our first "big" family vacation to Disney.
(Yay!  I've never been!)
By the time we go the kids will be at good age for their first trip there.   

 In preparation for our future trip, we made a Disney savings jar.  Of course it will take several of these jars to fund the trip, but it's just a fun way to start teaching about savings.  It's also a nice visual reminder!  

My little guy is too young, but my ladybug can start learning the concept of saving money and goal setting.

We added some Mickey expressions to mark our progress on filling the jar

I raided my scrapbook stash for sticker letters, trims, and papers.

I thought it was fitting to make the Mickey ears out of pennies.
