"Haute" Fashion with Flexy

I'm so excited to tell you guys about a fun fashionable find I got to try out. In my opinion its great for all ages depending on your style. Its called Fashion Flexy. Its a mix of hair accessories and jewelry that you can use as hair ties but also when not in use double as bracelets. It helps people like me a lot! I like to have my hair down when its cold but then as soon as I get a little hot, up it goes and I always worry I wont be able to find a hair tie. Now I can always carry one around my wrist and you would think it was just another accessory.

Let me show you the neat stuff I got to try out:

Here's some fun pictures of them on:

There are so many styles to choose from depending on the occasion and you can even special order some for special events such as business, charity, Runs, etc. The prices are pretty great too, most start as low as $2 (without charm)! I think thats great if you have a big group of girls for a sleep over/birthday party and want to get them each a little special keepsake of the night. 

I like how soft they were and the many choices you have for charms or colors and types of hair ties. Not only that but they also made earrings, necklaces and rings to match. That way they really get incorporated into your style. My favorite was the heart charm. It was a great touch to my hair on Valentines Day.

So go and check them out on there website Fashion Flexy or keep up with them on Twitter and Facebook. 

Disclosure: I received the Fashion Flexy hair ties Free to test out. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Your experience may vary from mine. 

Project 52: Week 7

Project 52: Week 7

This past week was all about Love in this house. We made Valentines and Valentine treat bags. We went to Play and learn at Central library where the theme was Red for Valentines day! Then of course the big day came and we played with chalk outside making hearts.

We had a pretty great week. How was your week? Did you have a good Valentines day? Hope your week was filled with Love like ours!

Plus If you have not yet checked out my first time at Gummy Lump then head on over and see my Indoor Zoo Craft made with paper plates. I made a Lion, giraffe, bear and turtle with my munchkin so we could play indoors during winter. I hope your munchkins have fun with it! 

Are you doing a Project 52? Even though we are in February that doesn't mean you cant still start yours up. Share yours with me! 

Project 52: Week 6

Project 52: Week 6

Another week has come and gone... 

This week we rediscovered an old park close to home. We hadn't been there in about a year and it was great to see all the changes yet a lot is left to fix. They put in real nice walking paths. We got to hang out outside and we even made a cute Valentines Day card. I drew the heart out on paper for munchkin and gave him glue and confetti. He put the glue on it and smeared it in the heart, then threw confetti all over it! (Fun for a boy to make a mess) Then he wrote Happy Valentines (oops "Day" didn't fit). Final touch was a couple of Valentine stickers. I am love with his Valentine and he was very proud of it too! 

I forgot to mention that I read "Warm bodies"! Yep! My sister had already read it a bunch of times and I told myself tonight is the night and I laid in bed reading until I finished it beginning to end. It wasn't too long so in a couple of hours (with breaks in between) I was done. I havent seen the movie yet, Have you? Did you read the book first? What did you think about this Zombie Love story? Share with me! 

Every week I will and have been sharing my Project 52. How is yours going?

Project 52: Week 5

Project 52: Week 5

This week things felt like they were becoming normal again. We got back into our normal routine and Happiness seemed to come our way. The weather was so warm and sunny outside. We went to blow bubbles and stare at clouds.  

We went back to Play and Learn (which we missed so dearly). Plus, we got a little closer to Valentines Day! We made some Valentines cards that are super easy to make. Overall it was a great start to February!

How was your week? Are you ready for Valentines Day?

Potato Heart Print Valentines

Here at the house we have been getting excited for Valentines Day. The house was feeling a little empty without all the decorations and tree so we started with some Valentines decorating and this weekend we made some easy to do Valentines Cards.

I don't know if you remember but we used potatoes to make Heart prints last year while learning about the Letter H and I wanted to use that idea to make Potato Heart Print Valentines!

Its super easy to do, you get a potato and cut into it to make a heart (I did one on each end), grab some paint and paper and have fun making some prints! This weekend was so sunny that we had to go outside and soak up the sunshine so I took out a table and our materials to do the prints outside.

After we made lots of hearts we let them dry and enjoyed being outside on such a beautiful winter day.

Later during the day I cut out a bunch of the hearts in various shades of red and got paper and a glue stick to decide where I wanted them to go. You can put them inside, outside, everywhere! They all look pretty, trust me and its fun for the munchkins to be sticking them everywhere.

I then took out my stamps and started making some messages on the cards. You can always use markers or crayons to write out a special message if you don't have stamps.

They will be a special Home made treat for your loved ones and they are super easy to do so. Hope you make some of your own and have fun while doing them!

DIY Heart Wall Decor

This past week I made two Valentines Crafts out of empty toilet paper rolls, the first was this one actually but I ended up posting the DIY Heart Wreath first. I am so in love with this Heart because it has been up on the wall the whole week and adds a great touch to the room.

Here's how you can make one for you:

Materials:

4 to 5 empty rolls of toilet paper to be on the safe side
paint with paintbrush
scissors
hot glue gun with glue
old newspaper to cover your work area

Directions:

Lay out your newspaper and decide how big of a heart you want to make. My first time making this I cut the toilet paper rolls first and made the design to see how it would look but now having done 2 of these I recommend you to please paint the toilet paper rolls first and let them dry. It is so much easier if you paint first!

After the paint is dry cut each toilet paper roll into 5 pieces as even as possible. Recreate the shape now and start hot gluing

Let the glue hold tight and admire your Heart! Hang it up to make a statement of love on your wall and ta-da! Valentines decor on your wall is done!
