I lied. I'm sorry. Life as a Wanna-Be Super Mom gets busy. Okay, life as a MOM, in general, gets busy! To hopefully redeem myself, I've brought pictures from Super Baby's First Birthday Party! We kept it fairly simple. The theme was hot air balloons with a rainbow twist. Not really <i>rainbow</i>, though... I omitted purples and pinks where I could and added a turquoise (teal? blue green?) color. I wanted something bright and colorful, while also doing something different from the norm for boys. I have to enjoy the cute stuff while I can! It won't be long before my baby boy will begin asking for random sorts of Disney themed parties. But I digress, here's some details:<br />

Has it really been a month since I've posted anything here? Once school gets into full swing and fall starts to set in, I think the busier I (and my family) get! I apologize for such a gap in between posts. I'll try not to let it happen again! :)<br />
<br />
I had another opportunity to be a guest poster at the <a href="http://atplayonline.com/">At Play Blog</a>! I had a little bit of Pinterest inspiration and made my own twist on a Halloween "Out of Treats" sign! Check it out <a href="http://atplayonline.com/2013/10/22/halloween-out-of-treats-sign/">here</a>!<br />

<b style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I had a stash of bottle caps that I had been saving for a while JUST IN CASE a project may arise. While I know that I could always buy bottle caps at a craft store, I just hate buying something that I have in my possession already for FREE. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Back in July, I found an adorable cork board for kid's artwork and since my refrigerator was already taken over by my little artist's work, I needed a secondary "gallery." I found a nice spot for it in the hall between our breakfast nook and the living room and covered it with art. Except there was something just not right... AHA! Aside from not having enough space (I'll talk about that later), it was covered in BORING pushpins. I thought about it a little and remembered my trusty stash of bottle caps! Yes, I could have bought "cuter" pushpins, but why do that when I could make my own unique, inexpensive, easy pushpins! Since I am also looking for summer crafts for Super Kid, I would be hitting two birds with one stone! </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">I decided to let him make bottle cap magnets to put by his homework desk. We did these simultaneously, so the pictures are combined. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Step 1: I told Super Kid to pick out a few stickers from his sticker pad that would fit inside of the bottle caps. I then let him take this over while I placed my scrapbooking embellishments (which fit PERFECTLY inside of the caps) inside of my caps. You could do either way for your caps! Scrapbooking stickers work great! I found these adorable embellishments on clearance, so I went that route. I did not have to use hot glue for mine, since they had a sticky back on them. If it does not have a sticky back, then use a small dab of hot glue to hold your embellishment in place.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I mentioned before about not having enough space on this board! I added a piece of jute string by attaching it with hot glue to the back of the board and then used these adorable mini clothes pins I found on clearance (part of the same set as the embellishments I used for the bottle caps) to hook the art to the jute! Always try to alter an object to better fit your needs rather than buying something new! </span><br />

I've been planning Super Kid's 6th Birthday Party, which is Lego themed, the last few weeks and while doing my Pinterest-ing and Google-ing, I came across an adorable bracelet made out of Legos. Well, this bracelet costs WAY more than I'm willing to pay (about $80 more, actually) for a bracelet that is 1. made of Legos and 2. for a 6 year old that will probably lose it. DIY to the rescue!<br />
<br />
My version is cheap, easy, and won't make you or your bank account cry for days if your kid loses it.<br />

<i style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">- Legos! (Gather as many as you think you may need to fit your child's wrist. I eyeballed this. I used the same sized square Legos, but you could use a variety of shapes and colors depending on how funky you want the bracelet to be.)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">- Bracelet string (I used the kind you can find near the pony beads for kid's bracelets at a craft store. In my opinion, this type of string would withstand a 6 year old, but you could also use stretchy jewelry string if you'd like.)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">- Dremel or drill with small hole drilling bit</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">- Cutting Board (I didn't actually drill into my board, but I had it there just in case)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">- Scissors</span><br />

I eyeballed the number of Legos I would need by placing them into a circle. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Step 2: Use your Dremel or drill to drill a small hole through the center of the Lego. Since I used the square Legos, I was able to drill straight through the hole on the bottom of the Lego. I did NOT drill straight down into my cutting board. I actually held the Lego up and applied pressure that way. Be careful doing this, please. If you have a piece of board laying around that you can sacrifice, then use that and drill straight down.</span><br />

Notice the hole isn't perfectly centered on every Lego. That's okay. I found it didn't make any difference if it is slightly off centered.<br />
<br />
Step 3: Cut your bracelet string to the size of your child's wrist. Make sure to leave extra room for the Legos, since they are pretty bulky.<br />
<br />
Step 4: String the Legos onto the bracelet string and tie a knot. <br />

All done! Easy peasy lemon squeezy! This ended up costing me about $2 total. I had everything on hand, except for the bracelet string, which was $1.99 at the craft store. Much better than $80-something if I do say so myself!<br />

Whoa! That's a mouthful! Frontporchrockingchairplantholder. ANYwho, I wanted to share my frontporchrockingchairplantholder with you all! <br />
<br />
Now before you judge my sad, half alive plant that is in my newly refurbished rocking chair, you must know that I have nothing NEAR a green thumb. Gardening is not something I've ever been good at, nor is it something I enjoy. The fact that this one plant still has a bloom on it after having it for a couple of months is beyond amazing! Ok, that's my plant disclaimer. Moving on.<br />
<br />
I found this rocking chair at a yard sale in my neighborhood for $10. There was a piece of cardboard where the seat was supposed to be, so I decided to take it a different route all together. The little square will fit a basic sized plant holder. I will have to get creative during the winter and holidays, but I know I will be adding mums to it for the fall!<br />
<br />
To start, I did a light sanding over the entire chair using a sanding block. I then painted on a coat of outdoor primer. Once that was dry (overnight), I did two coats of red paint with a paintbrush. I let each coat dry overnight. For SOME reason, this paint just would not dry and wasn't covering the way it was supposed to. So then it was off to the hardware store to buy a can of my trusty spray paint! I love spray paint. LOVE. One quick coat of a matching red spray paint covered it perfectly! Once it was dry, I stuck it on the porch, threw my half alive plant in it and voila! :) <br />
<br />
Moral of the story: Don't be afraid to try non-traditional uses for your refurbished furniture finds! <br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've been attempting to do little projects with Super Kid while he is out of school for the summer. I came across this project at </span><a href="http://www.artfulparent.com/2012/06/beautiful-stained-glass-bunting.html" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Artful Parent</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, who has an amazing blog and ideas! I'll be posting a few other projects found there as well. Anyway, Super Kid has an overabundance of crayons. He really has an obsession, I think. He may get it from his Mama, who may have a slightly unhealthy obsession with office and craft supplies. Come on, nothing wrong with that! ;) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I asked him to go through his crayon box and pick out all of the broken crayons and to put them into a Ziploc bag. He came back with a handful of crayons, which I thought would surely NEVER be enough for this project, but we started got the grater out and went for it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">FYI: You may want to either 1. sacrifice your grater for this project or 2. buy a cheap grater to use for crafting. Not thinking about it, I used my grater from my kitchen and it is now officially a crafting grater. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I apologize for not taking step-by-step pictures of this project, but I did it very similarly to how <a href="http://www.artfulparent.com/2012/06/beautiful-stained-glass-bunting.html">The Artful Parent</a> did it :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">How I did it:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What you need:</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Crayons (this is a great way to use broken crayons!) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Grater (please see "FYI" above)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Wax paper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Iron</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Old towel</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Large paper (I used craft paper, but paper grocery bags would work great as well)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Scissors</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Hole puncher</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Ribbon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What I did:</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 1: Start grating your crayons. This will take a little while and I suggest doing it on a covered table and outside! We somehow made quite the mess doing this step. You can grate colors of similar shades together over a paper plate and then add that color group to a muffin tin section or separate containers to keep the colors divided. We did blue and purple together and red and orange together, etc. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 2: Cut wax paper large enough to fold in half and still have enough space to cut a triangle for the bunting. The pictures under step 4 shows the wax paper folded over, but pre-cut to get an idea of size. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 3: Sprinkle crayon shavings onto one side of the wax paper in different color combinations and patterns. Try to stay a couple of inches away from the edges or this will leak out when you iron it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 4: As Super Kid sprinkled the wax paper, I took the ones he was finished with and ironed them. Before you start ironing, STOP! I put an old towel on the counter with a large folded paper over it. I placed the wax paper (which is folded in half!) in between the paper and ironed it. I had my iron on medium-high. It didn't take but about 20 seconds to get the shavings to melt. As I finished them, I hung them with clothes pins to dry until we finished all of them (we did 14 total).</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 5: Cut your triangles for the bunting. I cut one and then used that one as my cutting template for the others. You may need to get a little creative on the cutting if the crayons shavings were more abundant on one side.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 6: After you have all of your triangles cut, punch holes on the sides for the ribbon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 7: String your ribbon through your triangles. We used ribbon we had on hand, so we made two sets of bunting to accommodate our ribbon length. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Step 8: Hang your bunting and enjoy! We have our stained glass bunting hanging from our sliding door curtain rod. It looks so pretty when we open the curtains!</span><br />

Some of his answers had me thinking, "Really?" while I wasn't surprised by others. He's such a sweet kid. This whole interview was worth hearing the answer to this question: <br />

Everything (except the vase, which I had already) came from the Dollar Tree, which made this centerpiece cost a total of $5 and took all of 15 MINUTES!!! We love it!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">How I did it:</span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">What you need:</span><br />
- Small vase - can be square or round<br />
- Jelly beans - how much will depend on the size of your vase. I used one bag.<br />
- Peeps - can be chicks or bunnies - Again, depends on the vase, I used 1 full pack (2 rows)<br />
- Styrofoam floral arranging foam - mine was round, because my vase was round<br />
- Faux flowers<br />
- Foam Easter eggs on sticks (optional) - this was something I found as the Dollar Tree that was super cute. I don't know how else to describe them, LOL<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">What I did:</span><br />
I put the styrofoam floral foam in the center of the vase. Then we filled around the styrofoam with jelly beans until it was to the top of the styrofoam, not OVER the top, just to the top rim. Then we arranged our Peeps on top of the jelly beans. Make sure you dust as much sugar off of your Peeps as possible. Otherwise, you'll end up with sugar all over your jelly beans and your vase. Then cut your flowers to the height you want and arrange them into the styrofoam floral form. If you have some cute stick-ins like the Foam Easter egg ones I had, you would add those last. <br />
<br />
Voila! A cute, cheap, QUICK Easter centerpiece that the kids are sure to love!<br />

Well, a short hiatus turned into about an 8 month break. I was burnt out... which was the result of a confusing and frustrating shoot last March. Anyway, I'm ready to get back to it! Here's one from a recent shoot...<br />

I put the homemade scrub, along with a little notepad, pen, and Christmas tissues in a Thirty-One Gifts Thermal Tote. I found the recipe <a href="http://www.bystephanielynn.com/2010/05/my-favorite-vanilla-brown-sugar-body.html">here</a>. <br />
<br />
I made one change by using grapeseed oil instead of the suggested sunflower oil. <br />
<br />
The Recipe:<br />
<br />
2 cups Brown Sugar<br />
1 cup Granulated Sugar<br />
1 cup Grapeseed Oil<br />
1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract<br />
<br />
Mix brown sugar and granulated sugar together until there is no lumps. Then add oil and vanilla extract and mix well until it is evenly moistened. Put into a sealable container (I used mason jars). Super easy! <br />

Not the expensive kind, the "costume" kind. I really needed something to put all of it on. I originally wanted a standing jewelry box, but those take up too much room. I wanted something simple and easily accessible. Thanks to another Pinterest idea, I have made a cork board jewelry holder! Really simple, almost too obvious for steps. I just bought 2 cork boards at Joann's. I found "T" pins in the sewing department there, also. The "T" pins prevent the jewelry from sliding off and the "T" part also makes for a nifty place to hang earrings. I also bought some decorative buttons and some ribbon. I glued a few buttons on the top right corner and a bow with a large button in the center on the bottom left for a decorative touch. Hang the jewelry on it and voila! Probably cost me all of $20-$25 to make and is working great so far! :) </span><br />

I was overly giddy when I found out they were having a Halloween party, but I was a little disappointed that someone else had already signed up for the cupcakes (I LOVE cupcakes). My only option was the fresh fruit or paper products, so I picked the paper products, because really... what fun can you have with fruit that HAS to be cut into bite sizes?? Anyway, Here's the Spider Plates and silverware (cups are coming in a later post, because they're still drying)! </span><br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;">How I did it: </span> <br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">What you need: </span> <br />
*8 1/2x11 cardstock in black <br />
*Black Paper Plates <br />
*Googly eyes <br />
*Paper Crimper <br />
*Hot Glue Gun <br />
*Paper Cutter or Scissors <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">What I did: </span> <br />
Step 1: Cut black cardstock into 8 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch strips (8 strips per plate). <br />
Step 2: Crimp each strip using a paper crimper. <br />
Step 3: Hot glue strips onto plate and then bend each strip in half and then bend a small tab on the end. <br />
Step 4: Hot glue googly eyes! I used two different sizes for a fun, corky look. <br />
<br />
I unfortunately can't take credit for this super cute idea. <a href="http://www2.fiskars.com/Activities/Crafting/Articles/Halloween-Party">Here's the original tutorial</a>. <!--3--><!--3--><br />

<br />
I attached "123" letters that were AWESOMELY spray painted yellow by Super Husband. I chose yellow over orange or decoupaging with a matching fabric so that they would stand out a little better :) Here's the result!<br />

<b>How I did it:</b></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span"><br /><i>What you need:</i><br />*(4) Different types of fabric (approx. 1/2 yard of each)<br />*Small Wire Wreath (I found mine at Joann's for about $2)<br />*Ribbon (for hanging)<br />*Scissors<br /><i>Optional:</i>*Letters/Numbers<br />*Spray paint for letters/numbers<br />*Hot Glue Gun<br />*Bobby Pins (1 per letter/number)<br /><br /><i>What I did:</i><br />Step 1: Cut fabric into 6 inch long x 1 inch wide strips.<br />Step 2: Tie strips (I double knotted) onto the wire wreath in a random pattern. I made sure not to put too similar of colors next to each other. You will be tying for a long, long, long, long, long, extra long time.<br />Step 3: Tie ribbon on top to create a hanger.<br />OPTIONAL Step 4: Spray paint letters/numbers. Straighten bobby pins and then bend a hook. Hot Glue bobby pins to letters/numbers. Put the bobby pin hook THROUGH the closest knot to the location you want the letter/number. Squeeze the bobby pin hook to tighten.<br /><br />And you're done! I think I covered everything, but comment if you have any questions! </span><br />

First of all, I'd lose it. Secondly, I found myself staring blankly into the refrigerator trying to remember why I bought that bottle of Italian French BBQ Balsamic sauce. Ok, so that's not a real product, thank goodness... because that would probably be gross and eliminate my need for a menu all together (per request of my family). Anyway, you get my drift. The paper just wasn't going to work. So, on another day that I found myself sucked into Pinterest yet again, I came across <a href="http://madebymeech.blogspot.com/2011/07/chalkboard-menu.html">this</a>. The original menu is ADORABLE, but I wanted a dry erase menu since I already use a dry erase calendar on my refrigerator. Using the chalkboard menu as my inspiration, I came up with this!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">How I did it:</span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">What you need:</span><br />
<br />
*8 1/2x11 or 12x12 scrapbook paper with design of your choice<br />
*Alphabet scrapbook stickers (or you can just write it with a marker yourself)<br />
*Decorative accent (mine is a scrapbooking flower with sticky adhesive on the back, so no gluing for me!)<br />
*8x10 frame<br />
*Scissors<br />
*Ruler<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">What I did:</span><br />
<br />
Ok, it's so easy, I'm not even going to give out steps. Cut paper to size. Put letters on the paper using the stickers or by writing it with a marker. Put it in the frame, stick or glue your decorative accent on it and you're done! <br />

I've got pretty long hair (below the middle of my back) and it's a never-ending battle trying to find a way to wear it where I won't get choked out with it. There's nothing worse than tapping out because of your HAIR. It's been pulled (and pulled out), wrapped around my neck (by itself, not by someone, haha), in my face, and the worst one: Stuck underneath me between my back and the mat. This leaves one in the horrible position of chin up, throat/neck exposed, and NOWHERE to go. <br />

My last BJJ class, I french braided my bangs to one side and that worked AWESOMELY. Unfortunately, I'm not coordinated enough (or at all really) to french braid the back of my hair myself, so at my next BJJ class, I'm off to find a style for the back. A regular ponytail is too long (still get the stuck under the back thing) and anything else falls out. I will be attempting... wait for it...<br />
<br />
The Princess Leia buns. Or a version of it, anyway.<br />
It won't be over the ears or as big as Leia's - <br />
<br />
But will be braided and smaller. So, we'll see. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">The ultimate goal: Do not get choked out by one's own hair.</span><br />

I came across this idea for Technology Tickets and it couldn't have come at a better time!<br />
<br />
Super Kid has an unhealthy obsession with playing on his LeapPad, our iPad, and our Droid cell phones. If I'm not careful, he has been known to sneak off with one of these and play for long periods of time. So, I decided to try out the "Technology Ticket" idea I found on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a>. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">How it works:<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span><br />
He earns 10 tickets every week, which are good for 30 minutes of "Technology Time" each. There are also 10 Reward tickets that we can reward him with for being good, doing well at school, etc. He also has a "Responsibility Chart" that if he fills every square by completing each task (i.e. Making his bed; Saying "Please" & "Thank You", etc) for the week, he earns a reward at the end of the week - so we can use this as a reward option for that as well.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">How I did it:<span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">What you need:</span><br />
<br />
*(2) 4x6 clear magnetic picture frames (usually really cheap at Walmart, Target, etc)<br />
*(2) 12x12 scrapbook paper, two different, but coordinating patterns (you can also use 8 1/2x11 if you want, but I bought the 12x12 in case I messed something up)<br />
*(2) packs of gift tags (I found mine at Michael's, there were 10 in each pack)<br />
*1-2 rolls of ribbon, depending on how large you want your ribbon at the top. (I used a 3 yard roll and it worked out great for 20 tickets. I did about 5 1/4 inch length for each one.)<br />
*Hot glue<br />
*Stickers (optional) (I found mine at Michael's on clearance)<br />
*Marker <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">What I did:</span><br />
Step 1: I cut the scrapbook paper for the background to the size of the magnetic frame. Slip the paper into the frame and VOILA, you have a background! If there is any extra paper hanging on the outside, just trim right from inside the frame. <br />
<br />
Step 2: Cut the scrapbook paper for the front pocket. I cut it large enough to go from the bottom of the magnet (if your magnet is in the middle of the frame) to the bottom of the frame. Approximately 2 1/2-3 inches. As far as length, just long enough to reach the back of the frame. No one's going to see the back, so use your own discretion. <br />

<br />
Step 3: Hot glue the pocket to the front. I used hot glue because I find it more durable and long lasting... and let's face it, CHEAP. <br />
<br />
Step 4: Stick your stickers on your gift tags and write "Technology Ticket" on 10 of them and "Reward" on the other 10. If you don't want to use stickers, that's fine! Just write it straight on the tag! <br />
<br />
Step 5: Cut your ribbon to desired length. I believe mine were about 5 1/4 inch long each. I used a 3 yard roll of ribbon. Tie your ribbon to your gift tags.<br />

I don't think I'll ever reach the official title of "Super Mom," but here I will posting all of my attempts. I have a 4 year old son, Super Kid, and a great husband, Super Husband. I love crafting and DIYing. I love baking. I love Brazillian Jiu Jitsu. I love photography. I love graphic design. But most of all, I love my family and I strive to be the best I can be for them. <br />
<br />
I'll be posting my adventures in crafting/DIYing, baking, Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, photography, and party planning. Yes, I know a strange mix of things, but strange mixes of things is what makes life great :)<br />
