Fun Idea to Honor Volunteers at Your School...Room Parents Rock Luncheon!

It is so hard to keep school functions fun and creative but this year...we did. We wanted to honor the room parents at our school with a special luncheon, but wanted the theme to be fun and different. So - we did "Room Parents Rock" and the decor...well...you will see below. We had a lot of fun creating the pet rocks and card packs for all of the ladies that attended. Maybe this will spark some creative ideas that you can share with us about how you honor volunteers at your school! Volunteers REALLY do rock! (Do you like the "bedazzled" rock below?

Flea Market Finds & Garbage Picks

It's that time of year again!  I love our local flea markets - they're actually open all year round, but I'm not much for braving the winter weather.  When the temperatures start to rise I definitely get the itch to be a Flea Marketer again.  Here's a little inspiration (or not) for those of you on the hunt for cool stuff!  Of course, I'm an idiot and didn't take before pictures... what was I thinking??!!  You'll just have to trust me that both these pieces are completely transformed. =)  

Here's a picture of a bookcase that used to be in the old school library at an elementary school in our downtown area.  I actually got this at a neighborhood garage sale last year.  My hubby wasn't so happy at first... since it didn't fit in my van and he had to go back and strap it to the top or our suburban to get it home.  I finally got around to painting it last week and figured out how to get the shelves to stay in place - all it took was a quart of paint and some hardware to get it looking fresh again.  Now that my husband's books are going to have a nice new home, I'm thinking he's had a change of heart.

This one is actually a garbage pick... totally free!  I love FREE!  All it needed was some fresh paint and new hardware, so for $30 I got a pretty nice piece of furniture!  It's in the hallway at the top of our stairs and will soon be the home for that awesome lamp there on the left.  

If you have any great finds, be sure to share!  We love to be inspired!

The perfect gag gift...maxi-pad slippers!!

So - as embarrassed as my husband was...I made a pair of slippers out of pads for a friend's birthday. I have seen these emails come through for years and always think it would be so fun to try to make a pair. They are perfect for the friend that has everything or to bring as a white elephant gift...or just to take to a pedicure and shock everyone in the spa.

They were really simple to make. I bought the super thick long maxi-pads (with wings...but you don't really need the wings). You stick 2 together to make the bottom of the slippers. Then wrap one over the toe and hot glue gun it to the bottom of the slipper. I used the "sticky strip" to hold the ribbon on the pad and then hot glued the flower for an extra special touch. I also put some glue on the bottom of the slippers so that my friend will not slip while wearing them out and about.

I think I will be making quite a few of these in my future so if you are a friend of mine...watch out!! You might be next!! If you decide to make a pair, take a picture and send it to me. I am always up for new ideas on how to adorn the slippers. Happy pad-crafting!

We're taking a poll! One question.... short and sweet!
