Here is what I shared this month! Enjoy!
You can always count on finding FREE Valentine’s printables and a trip to the Dollar Tree to make cute Valentine Favors! If you follow my blog, Crissy’s Crafts, you know I am all about easy and inexpensive crafts and favors! Here are some favors ideas using Paige Simple Studio Valentine’s Printable(until January 31st),  supplies from the Dollar Tree and candy from Oriental Trading.

I found  these cute  heart shape containers and glitter heart stickers at the Dollar Tree this week and I just knew that they would make cute favors for my son’s class! I used the  Valentine’s straw flags printable from Paige Simple Studio to add a little message.
I also found this cute pink favor boxes at the Dollar Tree.  I added a rhinestone to each box for an extra bling and tied the cute Valentine’s tag from Paige Simple Studio .
My last favor idea is perfect for a teacher, friend or neighbor! Just add their favorite candy, a tag and water bottle label from Paige Simple Studio  and you are DONE!! Easy peasy!! :)

Notre Dame Party

We had a little party of five to watch Notre Dame playing against Alabama for the National Championship, unfortunately they lost big time! :(
It was heart breaking but at least we had some yummy food to keep us happy. I made some cake pops, ND chocolate letters, popcorn, wings, chips/dip and veggies. Now we have to wait until next year! 
GO ND!!







GO ND 2013!
