Vampire Suckers uh, er Lollipops

Graham has to do a Show and Teach at school this morning.  So we put our thinking caps on and searched online for something that would be fun to teach, season appropriate and hello, a craft!

To make these you will need:  

• Red cellophane
• Lollipops
• Black felt cut to cape shape
• Twist ties
• White address labels
• Scissors
• Peel and stick wiggle eyes

 Wrap lollipop in red cellophane square large enough to cover the entire stick.

 Place lollipop in cellophane on black felt cape.

 Attach with twist tie.

 Cut out two white triangles from address labels and stick onto vampire to make fangs.  Then glue or stick on two googlie eyes.

 "I vant to suck your blood."

It seems I was totally into vampires a year or so ago.  Edward isn't aging so well, he's not looking so good anymore...

Graham is excited to show everyone how to make this and I think this will be easier for them to grasp as opposed to some of the other topics my smart boy was coming up with!  

Isn't this cute to take to parties or just have for the minis as an after school treat?

Toy Personalization with Vinyl

 With the weather finally improving we went and bought Lauren her birthday present. 

(Yeah, we know it's in February but I didn't want this in my living room for 3 months, would you?)

 

I hate Cozy Coupes.  Mostly due to the ugly color combo. 

Lauren LOVES hers and calls it her "Doozy Doupe."

But I needed it to be cute and stand out from the other 18 on our street.  

"Girl it up" a little if you will. 

 

 Ta-DAAAA!!

I emailed my dear friend, Shelley over at House of Smith's or Wonderfully Wordy.

We aren't really dear friends, but we will be someday I'm sure. 

I'm totally infatuated with her blog.

She had me at beadboard bathroom ceiling.

Which made Dan say "That woman is never to set foot in my home."

I think someone might be scared I'm dreaming up more projects...

 

 I picked out some vinyl and TWO days later LuLu was humming "Don't cha wish your doozy doupe was hot like mine?"

 

 So cute!  It was so easy!!

I love that it looks more girlie and now it won't get confused with the others in the neighborhood.

I realize that this MAY bring down the resale value but it's worth it!

Go visit my other friend Chris for tons more of Show and Shares!

Is that the worlds worst grammar or what, which is funny since Chris is an English teacher.

I'm sure she'd give me a D- on this poorly written post! Ha!

ps...this is NOT a paid endorsement post.  I needed vinyl, saw that Shelley sold it and emailed her.  She was really that great to work with that I Linked back to her!
