SUPER HERO KIT

 

hey there, a little super hero kit is fun for everyone right?

no matter little kid or big kid, for your young womens this year

we're doing a little "super hero" gift exchange.

 the limit was $5 so I had to get a little creative 

& my young women loves captian america!

You can make this little mask with some glitter felt & elestic

& I cut out some starts with the same glitter, glued them on hair tie 

& attached them to fingernail polish & I also made a little cape for the lip balm.

I found the make up bag at the dollar store & cut and glued some glitter felt

& maybe I'll throw in some tick-tacks as "Super Hero" vitamins

ta-da one super hero kit for $5! 

print the hero mask here. For more super hero masks to print click here.

Since its the month of thankful-ness I have so much to be grateful for.

Here's what I'm Thankful For.

he makes me laugh everyday. I'm thankful for his determination.

2. My family, seriously I know everyone thinks they have the 

BEST family, but I promise you I really do.

3. Modern medicine, since my hubby was diagnosed with MS,

I'm thankful for the medicine that slows down his body's relapses.

4. My happy home, I do love my little gray home on the corner,

I just love spending time with the hubs remodeling it.

5.  My education, I'm thinkful for the schooling I received in design,

it's opened my eyes to a new world that is so inspiring.

6. My knowledge of the gospel, I'm so thankful for 

being raised in the church & for the gift of eternal families.

7. My love for christmas spirit, I inherited this from my mama,

she would listen to christmas music in july- no joke.

8. My wonderful creative parents, I inherited there unique creativity,

I'm so thankful for that, I grew up in my mom's craft room with a 

hot glue gun in my hand..& christmas music playing.
