Personalized cups

For my daughter's birthday party she wanted root beer floats instead of birthday cake. I decided it would be fun for each of her friends to have a personalized cup for their root beer float that they could take home with them to use again and again!



The vinyl can be put through dishwasher quite a few times without any noticeable wear  and tear.

Forget me Not centerpieces...

Here are some centerpieces I recently made for a church activity that was focused on Elder Utchdorf's talk Forget me Not.


Each of the short signs are cut from a 2x8 and are 12 inches tall. They're all double sided so that ladies could view the quote from both sides of the table. They are each embellished with ribbon and buttons. All 5 forget me not were spread through the room on the tables.



The long signs are cut from 2x6's and range from 36-40 inches long and are similarly embellished. Under "Forget Not" are all 5 of the Forget me not's.


All of the signs were were "white-washed" witha mixture of cream and brown craft paint mixed with water, painted on and then wiped off.
