Pinterest Party!!
A couple of weeks ago I had an idea that I should get a few of my friends together and put our hours of pinning to work!
So I invited 5 other Moms, I didn't want there to be too many people then things seem to get complicated.
When the night came there were 3 of us, which worked out perfectly!
The "rules" of the party were everyone brings 1 craft/DIY and enough supplies for all to make it and everyone brings 1 recipe they had pinned that they wanted to try or already did and loved!
I think our party was a success! I made the Bathtub Magic, and homeade Fabric Softener as gifts for my attending friends...
My craft was wine glasses dipped in Chalkboard Paint
which will work great for our next family dinner so myself and my SIL aren't always wondering if we have the right cup! :)
Bathtub Magic
I clean houses and a Dr's Office for a living and this stuff tops them all! I have never been able to just spray my bathtub and then wipe off (even though every product advertised states this is possible!)! This mixture is cheap, easy and works really good! I used a small squirt bottle and I put 1/4 cup of Dawn Dishsoap, then I used 3/4 cup of warm distilled vinegar. That's it!
Tips
Put the Dawn in your bottle first
(if not you may have an issue with bubbles...)
If you have too many suds use more vinegar
All the other posts I have read say to use Blue Dawn
I did not I used Dawn with Bleach Alternative
and it worked great!
This craft is a DIY Dry-Erase board
My good friend Karen brought this idea and it turned out really cute!
I even hung mine up that night!
Here is what you need for these
8x10 picture frame
Scrapbook paper cut to 8x10 size (preferably lighter colors or something that will contrast with black so you can see the marker)
1 Roll of Black Ribbon
Tips
We hot-glued the ribbon on the back of the picture frame not intending to hand these from the ribbon, but just to use the ribbon for decoration and hang it from the hooks on the back of the frame
This would also look cute as a table top idea, although all of us said we didnt have any space to spare on our table's or counters!
My SIL Elissa brought these homemade Snickers bars! These are soooo good, she left the leftovers at my house and I ate almost all of them except 1 that I shared with my 6 year old!
This is everything we made for the night
Peeps Vases
Chalkboard Wine Glasses
Sugar Scrub
Fabric Softener
Watering Can Decorators (also with chalkboard paint)
Bathtub Magic
DIY Dry-erase board!
I think our evening was a success and I can't wait to do it again!!!
Sounds fun!
