DIY: On the go coloring book tote

Every week, I'm shoving a coloring book and crayons into my purse to take to church (along with matchbox cars...). After I made the "on the go matchbox car mat," I decided I wanted to make this one as well! It was fairly easy, although I messed up on some of the stitching and had to rip out about 3 feet worth of stitches, LOL!!

Thanks Hideous! Dreadful! Stinky! for the idea!!

DIY: I "Wheelie" Like You Valentine

With Valentine's Day less than 1 month away, I wanted to get a jump start on Leah and Joey's Valentines to hand out to their classes.

My dad went to an auction one day and bought an ENTIRE lot of matchbox cars brand new in the packages and there was many more than my kids will ever play with, LOL!! One of Joey's favorite things to play with is matchbox cars so I saw this as the perfect opportunity for Joey to give some to his classroom friends!

I got a package of Wilton Treat Bags at Walmart then printed off the labels and glued them to red construction paper. If anyone wants to download the labels and make your own, you can get it here.

Thank you to Avoiding the Laundry for the idea!!

DIY: On The Go Car Mat

Joey and Aiden LOVE to play with matchbox cars and I always have a few somewhere in my purse. Typically in church I'll give him a few of them to play with during mass but he gets bored after a few minutes. When I saw  a few of the "on the go" car mats on Pinterest, I knew I had to give it a whirl and see what I could come up with myself although I wish I would have made it a little bigger and added a handle to carry it by. I do know I want to make more of these as gifts!
