<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have been absent for a few weeks but I'm excited to be back and ready to share some of my Favorite Things with you. I'm also doing a GIVEAWAY for 3 MakeUp Erasers! (Giveaway Details on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/" target="_blank">Jenny ShowMeCute</a>)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I don't know what I would do with out my handy dandy makeup brush case. I am one of those people who is constantly taking my makeup with me in the car and traveling. I have loved this case for the organization as well as keeping the inside of my makeup bag cleaner. I got this one at <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=acc_beauty-acc&ProductID=1000167363&VariantID=" target="_blank">Forever 21</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I must tell you that I decided to try this eos lotion because of the cute bottle. Sometimes I am mesmerized by pretty marketing/packaging and hate the product but this one is a keeper for me! I purchased at Target. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While on a search for new Mascara I found this L'Oreal on a search list. I decided to give it a try and found that I rather like it! I use waterproof as my eyes are super sensitive and usually end up crying off regular mascara before the day is through. Bella has very average to short lashes and this works beautifully for her. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I don't know if it is age or what but I have had a very hard time with breakage lately. I have been trying all sorts of things to help my poor hair. After watching a Sam Villa YouTube video I decided to try this Heat Protectant. I have been using on Bella's hair and we love this product. You can find this at lots of stores. I purchased at Ulta. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: left;">I could do an entire post on this little GEM! The MakeUp Eraser removes 100% of your makeup with water. Just wet the cloth and remove your makeup. It is reusable. Throw it in the wash and no stains remain. It lasts up to 1,000 washes and eliminates the need for disposable products to remove your makeup. It comes in pink, black, and blue. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: left;">It has been seen on NBC's The Today Show, The Doctors, Fox News Channel, E, and CBS. It has also been seen in Makeup Artist Magazine and People Magazine. </span></div>

I'm super excited to share this idea with you guys. Emoji's are so fun to use on our phones and I have a sneaking suspicion they are going to grow in popularity over the next year! (Just a "Jenny" prediction.... we'll see. )</span><br />

Rylan from <a href="http://www.cutegirlshairstyles.com/" target="_blank">Cute Girls Hairstyles</a> was such a little trooper. She went with me and helped me shop for supplies ( which turned out to be way longer that we planned ) and stuck around till the very end! Of course the ice cream offering was helpful. Wink, wink! I just love Rylan and we had a great day together. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>ITEMS NEEDED FOR THIS PROJECT:</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>- Coiled Wire:</b> I bought mine at Michaels in the floral department. I am pretty sure that you can find similar at most craft stores. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>- Flowers-</b> Originally I set out to get paper flowers from the scrapbook section. However, I found that the packages were mostly muti colored and I wanted the flowers to be uniform. In the end we chose several different silk flowers. Michaels and Hobby Lobby have the best options. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>- Ribbon: </b> I used a cotton ribbon. I would not recommend satin as it slips and comes untied easily. Grosgrain would also work well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>- Misc:</b> Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks, scissors, wire cutters</span><br />

With summer heat just around the corner and kids home from school, these drinks will make you the favorite place to be! I think the slashes are my favorite.

I never know what my kids are going to actually get excited about but this one was definitely a huge hit with Bella. I am not sure what I enjoyed more... the cute sunglasses we made or having a good bonding evening with my baby girl. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>ITEMS NEEDED FOR THIS PROJECT:</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b><u>Sunglasses</u></b>: I went to a few different stores before I landed at Claire's. Lucky Me happened on a sale which made all the plastic sunglasses shown $2 each. The metal were $8 each. So depending on how many pair you want to embellish, check around at pricing or use an existing pair!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b><u>Embellishments:</u></b> I purchased all items shown at Michaels. Look in the scrapbook isles and the bead/jewelry isles. You want things that are flat on the back. Be creative! I used roses, crystals, and pearls.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b><u>Misc</u></b>: E6000 glue, scissors, toothpicks, pliers</span><br />

Last season the KC Royals went back to the World Series. They waited almost 30 for this return. It was an exciting time to live in Kansas City. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought this was the best idea to show your love for the game and your team!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>ITEMS NEEDED FOR THIS PROJECT:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Leather Baseball:</b> Ball must be real leather. Imitation does not work. I didn't want to cut up </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">anything my husband was attached to.... so I went to my local sporting goods store for a ball. They range in price. You don't need anything fancy... the cheapest version will do. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Xacto Knife:</b> Please be careful!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Scissors</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>

First at my house, next at Mindy's (Cutegirlshairstyles) and then my step-daughter. It was a ton of work but the results are serious cuteness!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is one common item in each of the rooms I worked on. It is something very cute and I decided to share the tutorial with you. I love these fabric banners. They are such a cute and colorful accessory for kid/teen bedrooms. I am thinking I could use this same format for a table decor at my next party as well!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Items Needed For This Project:</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>-Fabric/Ribbon:</b> I used 9 different designs of fabric/ribbon. I cut them 18" long and 2" wide. The size of your banner will determine how many strips you need. In Emma's room I used 54 total strips. The Vintage Blush and CGH bedrooms were about double the size. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I purchased all supplies at Hobby Lobby for all 3 rooms. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>-String: </b> I used a black string in the video. Twine in the other rooms. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>-Misc: </b> Scissors and ruler.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- For this activity create your own custom scavenger hunt! Hunt the golden rocks leaving the sparkle rock as the final find! You can customize this for any age range. For my teens I thought it would be fun to add a few other prizes to the rocks (incentive). I found some cute prizes in the dollar spot at Target i.e...lucky charms chapstick, gold chocolate coins, glow sticks, etc. It's something different and can be done inside if you have bad weather or outside!</span></div>

I had a lot of fun with this challenge. My favorite idea presented that day was Instagram Photo Cookies. They turned out adorable and were very yummy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I posted pics (on Instagram) of my cookies and received many requests for a tutorial. I am really excited to share this fun idea and very good recipes I used.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Sugar Cookie Recipe</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 Cup all-purpose flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 teaspoon baking powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 teaspoon salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 Cup unsalted butter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 1/3 Cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 large eggs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 teaspoon vanilla extract</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Directions: </b> In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using stand mixer & paddle attachment. Beat butter until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add sugar and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating between each addition, then add vanilla.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Turn the mixer off. Add the flour and then beat just until combined. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remove the dough, shape into a disk about 6 inches wide and wrap securely in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for a minimum of 1 hour. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remove the dough from the fridge and cut in half. Roll half the dough until it is about 1/2" thick. Using cookie cutters, cut out your desired shapes and place on a cookie sheet about 2" apart. Repeat rolling and cutting with remaining pieces of dough. (Leftover scraps can be re-rolled.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If your dough gets too soft refrigerate the cut-out cookies for 15 minutes. (This helps them keep their shape when baking)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes until pale golden. Transfer them to a cooling rack. Frost & decorate as desired. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(If you refrigerate the dough over night. You will need to let stand at room temperature until workable.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Wal-Mart does this but I tried 4 stores and all 4 said their machines were broken. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Call your local grocery store bakery and see if they will do it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Store the photos in large Ziplock bag to keep air tight. If not, the sugar paper will dry out and crumble.</span></div>

I bought some at Christmas time as stocking stuffers for my girls and we love them! There are several different varieties and options to choose from so I thought I would share my experiences with them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The tattoos I applied to my arms lasted about a week. I was careful not to scrub them while showering. However, the tattoos on my fingers only lasted about 24 hours because of my hand washing and dish washing. (Mom duties)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Target:</b> I found three different packages in the jewelry section. (NOTE: oddly enough... not all stores carry them. Check <a href="http://www.target.com/p/jewel-up-set-of-3-temporary-metallic-jewelry-tattoos-gold-silver/-/A-16649919#prodSlot=medium_1_4&term=metallic+tattoo" target="_blank">Website</a> to see if they are in stock near you.)</span><br />

I painted one of mine with a metallic craft paint to get the color I wanted. )</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-<b> Leather String</b>: I used a very soft leather string. You will find some options with the Leather scraps and some with jewelry supplies at Michaels, Joann, or Hobby Lobby.</span><br />

I had the hardest time trying to find any to buy. The few I found were not what I was looking for. Oddly enough it didn't even occur to me that I could make one OR that it would be so easy! </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I decided to share my findings with you! Now you can make one any size or color you choose!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>ITEMS NEEDED FOR THIS PROJECT:</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Sequin Trim: </b> There are many colors to choose from at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Wal Mart or Joann.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Felt: </b> You can find felt squares at most craft stores for about $.25 each. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Misc: </b> Hot Glue Gun, Hot Glue Sticks, Scissors, Heart Template (I traced a cookie cutter)</span><br />

I have been trying to figure out where I could use them and I finally figured out the perfect use for one! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm talking about 'Tulip' brand large stencils. I found them at Hobby Lobby and Michaels. Everything you need to get started is displayed together. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Supplies Needed For This Project:</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Stencil:</b> There are such cute stencils to choose from I am thinking about what I can do next. But for Valentine's Day I love the giant LIPS!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Paint:</b> Depending on the project you are doing you will need either craft paint or fabric paint. Fabric paint works better if you are going to be washing the material a lot. Craft paint is perfect for things that probably won't get washed. ( Although I wash craft paint items... it fades a little but still looks pretty good. You decide!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Spray Adhesive:</b> They sell their brand with the stencils & paint but I swear you could use any spray adhesive. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Roller: </b> I decided to buy the 'Tulip' brand roller. I'm glad I did with this stencil. It worked really well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Glitter: </b> Totally optional! But you can't get 'Sugar Lips' without it! Ha Ha! I used extra fine glitter. Any brand works. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b> Pillowcase or Pillow Cover: </b> When you go to Hobby Lobby they have all kinds of things displayed to stencil. Bags, Placemats, Napkins, Pillows, etc. Loved them all. I stenciled a tote as well. I have a mild tote obsession/problem. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Additional Information:</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <a href="http://www.ilovetocreate.com/tulip.aspx" target="_blank">Tulip Website</a> You can see where their supplies are sold near you or order online. (I was not paid to share this info. I just love these stencils! )</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Make sure to put a piece of paper or cardboard between layers of fabric ( such as a pillowcase ) to prevent paint from bleeding through. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- The chevron pillow shown is from Hobby Lobby. Back by the Fabric there is an isle that has tons of pillow covers. They are cute and cheap!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The holidays are over and cleaned up. The bitter cold is here for a few weeks.... we need a good project! This one is perfect for every female out there!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-<b> Beanie:</b> I purchased all of my hats at Forever 21. They have so many to choose from AND... they range from $2.80 - $9. Can't beat that! Suggestion: try them on to see which style looks best on you. They are not all the same and don't look the same on everyone. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Bling:</b> I bought from Hobby Lobby and Michaels. You can look in the scrapbook section or jewelry sections for similar bling. I also suggest raiding your old jewelry stash to see if you can recycle anything!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Misc: </b> scissors, glue gun, glue sticks, wire cutters ( if you need to cut anything off the back of your bling )</span></div>

I have no idea where 2014 went! It has flown by. There are so many things to give thanks for and a few things I'm glad are over. If you are throwing a New Years Eve party ( or any party next year! ) I have two suggestions!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>ITEMS NEEDED FOR THIS PROJECT:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Canvas:</b> I used 24X48 purchased at Hobby Lobby for half price made it $15</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Cardstock: </b> Color depends on your event. I wanted a glitzy New Years Eve look so I chose black, grey, and gold. For texture I used gold foil and gold glitter. ***Make sure you use the fine glitter paper. Anything more coarse will not work in the punch. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Hexagon Punch:</b> This is made by fiskar. I saw it at both Michaels and Hobby Lobby. Make sure to use a coupon for this one!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>-Misc: </b>Hot Glue Gun, Lots of glue sticks, & scissors</span><br />

Heck it is perfect for all year long! It is really simple but cute and right up my alley. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Items Needed For This Project:</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Jar</b>: I found all kinds of shapes and sizes at Hobby Lobby of course 50% made them so affordable. Options: try mason jars, the dollar store or recycle old jars to keep cost low.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Wax</b>: They have candle making supplies at Michaels, Joann, and Hobby Lobby. I prefer Hobby Lobby supplies as I can use a coupon every time and they had a better supply. I got the lb bag marked $9.99 and used my 40% off coupon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Wick</b>: Make sure it is the right size for the container you choose. Purchase at same stores as wax.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Fragrance</b>: Best part of making your own! I used sugar cookie and vanilla for my candles. Purchase with wax and wicks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Confetti Sprinkles:</b> I bought a big tub at Wal Mart in the baking isle. Any sprinkles should work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- <b>Misc:</b> Scissors, Hot Glue Gun, Karo Syrup, Craft Brush, Tape, & Pencil.</span><br />

When I asked what dessert he wanted for his birthday he requested Oatmeal Caramelitas. This is a dessert my good friend Tiffany has been making for years but Trevor finally decided to try them. Haha he has been missing out for 13 years. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This recipe is so quick and easy!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Photo Scavenger Hunt @ Nelson Atkins Art Museum</u></b>: (<a href="http://www.kcparent.com/May-2009/Nelson-Atkins-Museum-of-Art-Photo-Scavenger-Hunt/" target="_blank">Scavenger Hunt List</a>) This time of year is hard to find activities indoor that are different or not crazy expensive. This idea jumped out to Bella as she LOVES art and going to the museum. The girls loved this activity. Some had never been to the museum before and were amazed at the beautiful building and art. We are pretty lucky to have such a beautiful/amazing facility here in KC. BONUS: This activity was FREE!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Dave & Busters</u></b>: This was actually not our first choice BUT.... because of my husbands work we had a ton of gift cards that we had accumulated and needed to use. The girls ate dinner and played games. They had a super fun time. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Home:</u></b> Once home we had dessert, opened gifts, played games, watched a movie, & eventually fell asleep. Game suggestions: Heads Up, Would You Rather</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">
Bella and the girls had so much fun. As a mom, I really cringe at sleep overs so its not something we do often. I don't believe kids need to have a huge party every year. We typically have a friend party every other year, & family party on the alternates. Once my kids reach 12 we will have family parties only except for the milestone year (16). </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have seen the idea of Coffee Filter Poms many times. I finally decided to give them a try and I am sold/ in love/ obsessed! They are so easy and affordable. You can even dye them any color you want!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Items Needed For This Project:</b></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3" Styrofoam Ball</b>- These can sometimes be pricey but I found in the craft section of Hobby Lobby they had a package of 6 for $4. The size ball you use will determine the end result of your Pom.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Coffee Filters</b>- I purchased packages of 100 at Target for $1 each. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>String- </b>I used an existing brown string I had. You just want to make sure it will hold the weight of your Pom.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Glue Gun & Glue Sticks-</b> Each ball used about 3 sticks of glue.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Misc-</b> Scissors, ruler, bowl.</span></li>

The month to be grateful and give thanks. I want to share this idea with you as a daily reminder to give thanks. It is very easy to be weighed down with all the negative awful things of this life. By actively thinking about positive things everyday (even if they seem small and insignificant) we can focus on the good things we have. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My challenge to you is to write down one thing you are thankful for every day. See if it changes your thinking and focus to Happiness!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Tag:</b> see printable below.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Scrapbook Paper:</b> I used 12X12 paper and cut in to 4X4 squares. My favorite store for scrapbook paper is Hobby Lobby.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Ribbon:</b> 1.5" width ribbon. I used chocolate brown. </span></li>
