Vintage Veggie Bags

One of the blogs that I read everyday is Cathe at Just Something I Made. She is a talented graphic designer and always has free designs on her blog. She is fond of everything vintage. She found some great vegetable graphics that she has graciously put on her blog for all of us to download. She has some great ideas on what you can do with them too!



I tried one of her ideas yesterday. I downloaded one of her tomato graphics and uploaded to my Adobe Pagemaker, I added some text and then printed on a brown paper lunch sack ( do this at your own risk!! haha) I had a few paper jams but nothing the printer couldn't handle!

My parents who live in New Hampshire have a garden that is over flowing with veggies right now. So I made them some sacks to put their extras in that they can give to friends and neighbors!

Thanks Cathe for the great idea!

Aloha Friday

I am back and trying to get better at posting on my blog! I love Aloha Friday and visiting every one's blogs!

My question of the week.......

How many extra curricular activities do you let your kids participate in?

We have four children and we have always had the rule that they could each be involved in one after school activity. I have a HS volleyball player, a 6th grade soccer player, a 4th grade football player and a Kindergarten soccer player.

That keeps me in the mom taxi after school driving to all the practices. Thank goodness for other Moms that help out! I couldn't do it without them.

Have a great weekend y'all!

Leave a comment about your kids activities and also head to my Wednesday post with a giveaway for your favorite teacher!

She is Six!

Sweet little Abigale turned Six today! She is the baby of the family and will probably always be known as that. We had her party last week at the pool and she had a blast!

Happy Birthday, First Day of School and a Giveway at the End!

Busy Day today! First Day of school for all four kids!! Abigale started Kindergarten today and it's her 6th Birthday! It's bittersweet!

(Look at her cute outfit that JenJen got her!

Love that Gymboree cupcake set!)

The younger kids brought Notepads to their teachers this morning as a "Happy First Day of School" happy.

I would love to make one for your favorite teacher! Leave a comment and I will pick some lucky person! Post about it on your blog or Twitter about it and you will get an extra entry! Just leave a separate comment for each thing you do! If you can't wait that long you can order one from my Etsy Store!

Back To School

Sorry Blogger, Facebook has taken over my life! haha I promise to post more after school starts. I can't believe the baby will be starting Kindergarten! How time flies.

For a long time now the kids have brought happies to the teachers on the first day of school.

This is what the kids are taking this year.

I have them in my Etsy shop if you would like to have one for your favorite teacher!
