These bag are teach end of the year gifts.

I use just plain white paper gift bags and

 made the gift tags out of vinyl.

inside the bag is cupcakes in a jar.

Which I have a local lady make for $4 a jar.

Then for my sister in law, I made

 a gift bucket as a gift for her

I got a bucket from TJ Maxx.

Since it was the beginning of summer, 

I put outside candles, hand towels,

gift cards and a few more cupcakes 

in a jar.

With a wood letter for about $2 -$4

 at Hobby Lobby or Michaels you 

can personalize a gift for a kid you love. 

I painted the letters and put a flower sticker

 on them.I added the name with vinyl decal.

This frame I made for my husband on Valentines Day.

I bought the frame for $8 at TJ Maxx.  

Then added the vinyl with famous love stories. 

 I used couples that are our favorites.

 More Teacher gift.

These are the winter break gifts.

The first is a dark tile from Lowes $1.84

The teacher's favorite Sports team 

used to make it personal for her family.

I found this Letter for $6 and put the teachers name on it 

and then added using words that I am sure applies to her.

Shrek Party

My son wanted a Shrek Four-ever after party

 We made the cake in the shape of a seven

 and used pie crust crumbed up to look 

like dirt.I got the shrek figures from Ebay.

 Worms and rock candies

Owl Birthday Party

The owl theme was everywhere at Valentines day so I used

any pink Owls I found as part of the table decor.

Adding window molding and changing the fireplace

This was the before fireplace and window area.

We added window wainscoting

 and painted the fireplace.

First Lewis traced the bottom of the 

fireplace onto a box so he could cut a

piece of plywood to go on top of the brick.

Then added plywood pieces on each 

side of the front of the bricks.

Ripped out baseboards and trim under window.

Started adding trim to the top 

and bottom part of the wood

Pre Painting the trim

Then trim was added up to the 

ceiling and down to the floor 

Then used picture trim on the inside

 of the trim to make a box wainscot look

Painted and the trim and bricks white

Added small crown molding on the top

 of the window trim to match the fireplace

All finished total wood cost was $120 

plus $20 in paint and $20 in liquid nails.
