Alive & Kicking & Made It Monday

Well how do I start this post out????????  I am so embarrassed I have TOTALLY slacked at blogging and have not posted since April! UGH!!! How did I let that happen?   I even lost 2 followers but the only fault for that is my own. I even have a post I started back in May about an assessment workshop I attended but never posted ( I promise I will revisit the post & post it soon).  I think I just felt like why would anyone want to read anything from me?  Plus I just have been so tired.  I know no whinning!  So here I go as I  get back on the horse blog.

I thought I would try Tara's Made It Monday over at 4th Grade Frolics Linky since I made some super duper cute Father's Day gifts for my dad & hubby.  I know it is not school stuff but I need to get my confidence up.

First I saw this awesome printable on Pinterest but of course the link is not working now.  If I find a working one I will add it to the post.  If you have the link could you leave it in the comments so I can add it? 

My littlest one and myself went to the Dollar Store and found the glass jar and she picked out Daddy's "favorite"  candy.  I think she had more fun picking out the stuff then her dad did opening it.  I did catch her at one point Sunday with a mouthful of chocolate.  I think the secret it out!  LOL  Then I printed out the printable and mounted it to some cute scrapbooking paper, punched a hole and used some yarn to attached it to the jar.  Easy Peasy! 

I have seen this next Father's Day project all over Pinterest.....  First I took cute pictures of the kids holding a dry erase board showing one word. 

Then I uploaded them to Target Photo and had them printed in black & white & bought a 3 hole frame. Here is the finished product.

Cheap & easy and my hubby loved it!  Not too sure how Grandpa felt.  He is not the warm & fuzzy Grandpa but we would not trade him for the world.  Hope everyone had a wonderful Father's Day!

Please stay tuned for more,
