IBK Gift #1 & 2

The IBK gift comittee decided to give the girls garment bags and make up cases for their first two gifts to have to take to competitions, keep the uniform in when not in use, etc. We found them at Sam Moon Online... uhm... yes please! They are zebra print goodness. Here is where you can find the garment bag and the make up case. We then added a little tag (from All Stitch for $0.85 a piece) to both the garment bag and the make up bag so that they each knew who's was who's... they turned out adorable, the parents loved them, and my hubby would tell you he is glad because they are out of the house. :o)

Here is the garment bag:

Here is the make up case:


What do you think? Pretty stinkin Cute for $20 + tax and shipping each huh... Here are some pictures of the bags laying out with the tags on them...





Now we do have a boy on the team and we couldn't give him zebra print stuff, so he got a duffle bag. I promise with shipping his costs the same as both the girls bags... ridiculious I know!


Can't wait to hear what you think about them. I have another cheer gift coming up on Friday if I have time to blog about it, it is what they are getting on Saturday. Anyways, hope you have a great day!

Cheer Gift for a different team

You know how I said I have been busy... well I have. I am helping other people out too, which increases my work load, but I love crafts and have a problem saying no. Anyone else have this problem? It is an issue if you ask me. Anyways, one of the gift chairs for another team asked for my help, so I said sure. We spent a Saturday morning (I think... can't remember at this point) cutting out letters for them to sew on the booty of the shorts for the girls.

Before you ask, no they weren't hand cut. My cricut can cut fabric. In fact I am sure the silohuette can too, I just haven't figured it out yet. Anyways, so when we were done the shorts looked like this before being sewn on...



They were trying to zig zag the letters on, and were having some issues. I don't know what type of machine they were using but I haven't ever had issues. If something is too small sometimes I will do a straight stitch instead of the zig zag... seems to help with finer fabrics and such... but hopefully they got it figured out because they will be cute when they are done.

What do you think?

Ok, so there will be two features today... both Halloween because they are adorable and I love them both...

First up from A Few of My Favorite Things are some adorable BOO blocks.


Then over at Craft Linky they made an adorable bat out of paper plates. What a great fun, cute activity for kids!


Go grab your featured buttons you two. For everyone who participated last week, thank you so much. I hope that you forgive me for losing my mind and not realizing that I forgot to post until last night. You all know the rules, so I am going to skip posting them. You have till next Wednesday at midnight to post your new links.
