TEXAS RANGER BASEBALL BIRTHDAY PARTY

It was a Texas Ranger Birthday Party for my niece Holly's son Grayson. Grayson is turning one, and we celebrated one of his 1st birthday parties in Texas at Mimi and Big Daddy's Home Field (my sister Cyndy & brother-in-law Kenneth) in Longview on Saturday, July 2nd. Because Holly, Grayson & his dad Jason live in Atlanta, Ga., he will have another party on Saturday, July 23rd so his other grandparents and family can celebrate also. The Atlanta party will be a Funky Monkey party. Stay tuned for those favors and decoration on my next post. I was lucky enough to be able to attend his Texas party. My daughter Laci will be attending Grayson's party in Atlanta. Guess I can't make them all, right?

Red & Blue Banner

The banner elements above were all cut using my Cricut cutting machine.  I used the banner svg kit from SVGCuts to cut the pennants.  Each letter was designed using Make-The-Cut software . Sure Cuts Alot is another program I have to design cutting files . Yes, I have both programs, does that really surprise you?

Finally Digging In

Graduation Inspirational Tile

My daughter's friend Sam graduated from University of Arizona this past May. I love this inspirational quote and thought it was so appropriate for a recent graduate. I made this tile for Sam and we gave it to her at a graduation party given by her parents held in June. Congrats to Sam Quenneville!

A PARTY FOR JAMIE

My friend Elle gave a birthday party for one of her friends, Jamie.   I love turquoise and had so much fun designing favors for this party.  I didn't attend this party, but I know they had a wonderful time and enjoyed all of the favors and decorations. 

AN ANGEL WATCHES OVER OUR HOME

My precious mom passed away in February of this year.  God called her home after many years of struggling with the horrible and debilitating disease of Alzheimers. These words are so special and I knew that I wanted to make something for myself in memory of my mom.  I also have a sweet friend that lost her teen daughter about 6 months ago.  When Mother's Day was approaching, I wanted to give her and her family something that might help to ease the pain they would be experiencing on the first Mother's Day without her.  I decided to make a tile using these words cut in vinyl.  I finished it the night before Mother's Day.  Early next morning I found a text from my friend wishing ME a Happy Mother's Day.  I didn't get to give it to her that day, but we met for lunch several days later.  We ate, drank lots of iced tea and talked for over 3 hours about our loss, and the wonderful memories that we have of our loved ones.  I love this family and think about them every day.

Aiden's 7th Birthday Baseball Party Favors

My best friend's son Aiden celebrated his 7th birthday party last night.  He wanted a baseball theme, and it was really hard for me to design with NY Yankees elements because all my family members are die hard TEXAS RANGERS fans, but I think they turned out cute. Just kidding, I LOVE MY NEW YORK friends very much! I. The paint key on the bag is to open the bank that I put money in and gave to him for a present.  The individual picture of the bank is posted below.  I have already designed TEXAS RANGERS favors for my neice Holly's son Grayson.  Although Holly and her family live outside Atlanta, GA, Grayson will be celebrating his 1st birthday party in Longview, Texas on July 2 at Mimi and Big Daddy's house (aka my sister Cyndy and her husband Kenneth).  I am so excited that I will get to make the trip to Texas for this party.  I am sure they are glad too because they would have to put all of the items together without my help, right girls?  Can't wait! I will be posting the pictures Grayson's Texas Ranger party designs at a later date!  Stay tuned!

I cut the banner on my Cricut from svg files purchased from SVGcuts.com.

The NY on the end of the banner I made using MaketheCut software, which you can find at http://www.makethecut.com/
