A Pocket Full of Kisses

 After making the Chalkboard snack for my daughters 1st day of school, my youngest came home yesterday a little upset because she didn't have any special snack. I was so busy getting the house back together after their summer vacation that I really didn't have time to do anything special. :( 

Needless to say that I felt bad and redeem myself  by making her "A Pocket Full of Kisses"! :)

Material

a pocket from an old shorts, ribbon, any embellishments, glue gun, scissors and of course Hershey's Kisses.

Trim around the pocket, hot glue the ribbon and fabric flower.

I added a tag saying "A Pocket full of kisses from mommy" and chocolate kisses.

Jenna from Needle in a Paperstack send me her cute version of this project. Check out the pictures she sent me! She also made a version for boys! It came out so cute! Go check it out!

First Day of School Snack!

Made this special snack for my girls first day of school. It was a surprise! They were happy campers at lunch time! It is kind of s'mores but I used icing instead of marshmallow!

Ingredients

Graham crackers, Hershey's bar, icing, red  M$M and green writing icing.

I used the icing to "glue" the cracker and the chocolate together.

 I used a snack size Ziploc bag as a pastry bag. I just made a small cut on the tip of the bag. Made the leaves for the M&M apple using the green writing icing.

 All packed up for a surprise snack!

We are STUCK on you! {Back to school - Teacher's Gift}

My girls started school yesterday.
They were so excited to start a new school year! 

We got all the school supplies that was requested by the school but I wanted to give extra supplies for their classes in a cute way! :) 

I love the song "Stuck Like Glue" by Sugarland, that is how the "We are STUCK on you! " idea came from.

Material

Mason jar, scrapbook paper, ModPodge, clear adhesive liner and glue sticks

I  used the clear contact paper to glue the label to the jar. 

 Using ModPodge, I glued  a round piece of construction paper to the lid.

Attached a pretty ribbon and added a gift tag with the teacher's name! 

They loved  it and they even joke about the "stuck" part!

Kissing Hand - Back to School Project

A new school year is an exciting time for kids, parents and teachers!  This is a time of hopes and dreams for a happy and successful school year.

A perfect first day story is "The Kissing Hand". This is a story about a little raccoon ready to start school. He talks about his fears to his mother, fears that most children have before beginning school. His mother comes up with a wonderful solution to help her little raccoon remember that she loves him and is thinking about him, even when she isn't with him. A wonderful and heart-warming story to share with little ones. I actually made this project for Mother's day of this year but it is also a wonderful back to school project! This project inspired by The Kissing Hand book.  It is a great project for a first day of school for your little ones! For this one I painted my son's hands and printed on the back of a scrapbook paper.
