Kandeeland Craft: Bargain Flower Decorating Idea

This is what my sister made out of dollar flowers for her little girls bathroom.

I love it!

She told me about these flowers in the dollar section at Target.

I bought some and just used them and just put them in a vase on my table for Alani's birthday, totally... 

not as creative as my sister.

BUT HERE'S WHAT SHE DID WITH HERS:

She cut one off the wire stem and hot glued it inside this frame and hung it on the wall her in bathroom: ADORABLE.

AND HERE'S HOW SHE MADE HER "FELT FLOWER POT".

*you could use any fake flowers.

WHAT YOU NEED:

At least 5 flowers with a wire stem. (these are from the Dollar bins at Target)

Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks

Flower Pot (she got this at Michael's Crafts it was $3.99 but they were on %50 off sale)

Square chunk of that green florist foam

1. Take the block of green florist foam and cut it to fit on your flower pot. You can just use any old knife.

2.Put a little hot glue in the bottom of the flower pot and push the florist foam inside the flower pot.

3. Then put a little hot glue on each of the bottom of the stems and push them into the foam.

 4. Then cut off some extra leaves and glue them near where you stuck the stems in, to cover up the foam, like and hot glue them down so it looks like this:

 And that is what is should look like, or something like it, when you're done!

 And this is one of the cutest decoration in her kids bathroom!
Hope you love it and it inspired you to dazzle up some area with some dollar store flowers  and hot glue!

Little Feet and a Little Video....

 My favorite lil feets...

(Alani, Ellie, Blakey and my neice Sydney)

please not the "princess dress-up" shoes that Sydney is wearing...she cracks me up. She insisted on wearing them...good thing we didn't walk around very much! ha ha ha 

 After our yummy Mother's Day brunch for my mama....we played Flipper and rode the "dolphins"...

 Blakey and Ellie looking at the turtle pond...

 Ellie doesn't bother carrying purses...she pulls her little suitcase. ha ha ha ha She loves to pull this around!

And my sister filmed a special "mother's day" video with me and her in her backyard- it was uploaded on her youtube channel...but here it is...does she look so cute and preggy (any time now she could go into labor! yay!!!)

Now watch enjoy- her memory card ran out of storage so we kinda got cut off- yes, we've both had memory card issues lately! ugh!)

It is mother's day... 2 days after my sister's due date- but baby's are usually never born on their due dates! ha ha ha

We took these photos on the way to my sisters.

I ate way too big of a slice of my sisters birthday cake last night.

(the balloon cake I blogged about yesterday on my kandeej blog)

It was delicious.

 Ellie, inspecting some flowers. We were so excited to get to my sisters...who had just taken brownies out of the oven when we got there! Yum!

We are off to take my mom to a Mother's Day brunch!!
Happy Mother's Day to everyone! And huge hugs from this mama to each of you!!!

Wait til' you see the DIY flower craft my sister did that I am in LOVE with!!!

Helmets and Rap Song Study Guides

 Blakey has a little fake helmut mask...and he put in on Ellie today....I laughed so hard, when they both stood in front of me laughing.
These little love bugs melt my heart into a puddle, all day long. While Alani and Jordan are at school..Blakey and the baby play together so cute. They laughed and smiled at each other as we played school bus driving to pick Jordan up from school.

Blakey...came out with his "pretend motorcycle"...and said, "Everybody loves my motorcycle. They take videos of it....pictures of it......"
And the baby and Blake are the cleanest people in the house....not only did they have their cozy-before-bed, night time bath (which both of them fell asleep after about 15 minutes after their baths...but they both had day time play baths too! Which were also, right before nap time!)

Afternoon cool treat: I made the Frozen Hot Chocolate from Serendipity. Jordan instructed me on how to perfectly blend the ice to his liking.

Alani made a request for pizza for dinner- request was granted.

BEST PART OF MY DAY: when I asked Jordan how he did on his history test. You see I "helped", when after he did his study guide, I made a "rap" for him to remember the dates of events around the civil war example:

"In 18.....54....

the Republicans hit the (dance) floor..."

-this lyric was to help him remember when the Republican Party was formed in 1854...made up of anti-slavery activists.
I won't bore you with the whole study guide...but that was the best of my material! ha ha ha
and guess what!?!?
He said it did help, and that it was the first question on his Civil War Test!

I should write raps for all his subjects! ha ha ha ha

I could be like the new, School House Rock! ha ha ha ha

peace out, K-dazzle and her education-rhymes...ha ha ha ha
(picture me in a big gold chain and teacher glasses)

CLINCKITY CLACK RIGHT HERE TO SEE WHO'S BIRTHDAY IT IS...and made me cry writing this....awww

Little Lady, Big Business...

this was my little Ellie, pulling around my old broken computer bag today...she pulled it all over the place...
she had some big business to take care of I think...

We later ventured to one of our favorite places, only to be saddened that, alas, there was no Mini Harajuku summer clothes to be found. (the clothing line, I've been semi-obsessed with, that Gwen Stefani designed for Target!) I wish Target would have their lil baby stuff all the time. But no, it was just moderately cute stuff, that had scratchy trim- we no likey scratchy stuff. pleh...nothing worthy of buying...and we need some warm weather clothes for lil' Ellie.

Makes me wonder sometimes, "who in the hula hoops, designs baby clothes sometimes?"...someone that probably doesn't realize how scratchy and "un-soft" some of their baby things are I guess!

Well, it's almost time to pack up again and head to my sisters....she is almost due to have baby! Yay!!! I can't wait!!

How to have fun in airports:

This is how to have a good time in an airport: according to Ellie (aka Cupcake)-including live video instruction:

This was on the first part of our flight....
then when we had to stop and change planes in Dallas...

We tried on purses and she was really fond of this one:

and that is how you have fun in airports....
