Mother's Day Gifts

If you are one of our Moms or Grandmas

or Great Grandmas

STOP READING NOW!!!

I used to be super thoughtful and considerate on mothers day. I used to get all the kiddo's involved in a fun personalized craft and make a pit stop at every mom, grandma and great grandmas house on mother's day. Did you see the words USED TO BE? This year I did the same gift of every one but each one can be customized. And with gas being a million dollars a gallon I don't think we will be driving all over the place this mothers day.

Also Mr. Tripp told me I had a budget of $0 to work with. Well... it's safe to say I went over budget.

First I put in about an hour of design time this morning on my mac. Than I headed out to Sam's club to pick up my prints. They cost $18.00 for 12 8x10's.

Next the girls and I went to the dollar tree, to get 8x10 frames, dry erase markers and cards. That set me back an other $18.00.

I'm very happy with the finished product.

I love you because...

I hope our moms and grands have fun with these. I'm going to tell the kids to write on them every time they go for visits.

I stole the idea from this etsy shop. Shhhh! don't tell on me.

I also put one Mr. Tripp night stand. I thought it would be fun to tell him all the reasons I love him. And since its in our bed room I can be dirty.

Grand total $36.00 for 11 mothers day gift

plus one for Mr. Tripp = $3 pre-present.

Oh Yeah!

I'm blue

Today was CRAPTASTIC! I'm not even going to tell you about it. Mr Tripp said that today should be left out of the "history books" and would have to agree.

Instead I'm going to talk about kitchens and paint.

It's only been a Year since we painted our kitchen red and I have enjoyed it. BUT... I never grew to love it like I thought I would.

I have something a little bluer on the mind.

I'm crushing pretty hard on the blue kitchens.

What's black, white and pink all over?

What's black, white and pink all over? Penny's party. I had so much fun decorating for Penelope's party. I might have gone a touch over board.
