Items for a craft sale - Travel coloring cases

Above are more girl coloring cases, and one open showing the markers. I am also making crayon versions of these. I took them to a recent sale and it was 103 degrees so we opted not to take any crayons along!

And above are the boys versions (although Mickey could go either way). All of these sold at my recent sale, but I will be making more. They yellow and green flower, as well as the turtle are all shapes I purchased, while the others are all hand drawn and then cut.

These travel cases are available for purchase for $5, please specify colors, and whether you'd like markers, crayons or colored pencils. When the paper tablets run out (50 sheets of paper included) they may be replaced with mini spiral notebooks. I will ship these items anywhere (purchaser pays all shipping costs.)

Items For a Craft sale - Travel Coloring cases

I enlisted my children's help for these. Here they are gluing the ends of the tablets that are going into the coloring cases I am making for the sales. (Inky our cat is keeping guard on the birds in the background)
Here is the first batch of tablets drying.

Here is the girly travel cases and an open case containing colored pencils.

The white flower is hand drawn, while the yellow ones in this photo were shapes that I purchased.

More items for craft sales - Key Fobs

Here are some photos of the most recent Key Fob wristlets I made for upcoming craft sales. They are priced at $5 a piece, or 2 for $8. More styles and colors to follow. All Key fobs are machine sewn for added durability. Every key fob includes a key ring (some are in photos without).

Key Fobs may be ordered and mailed to anywhere, purchaser responsible for shipping costs.

Coloring Case - Tie Dye style

So my daughter decided she'd like a Tie Dye version of the travel coloring case. She picked out a few different styles of Tie Dye felt and then we matched up some of the colors. She decided she wanted pink and yellow for the inside. We went with a plain white flower since there were so many colors on the front.

I think it came out cute! I am still having problems getting the lines on the inside straight. I have had to mark them and remark them, but I am getting better.

Travel Coloring Case

Of course when my son saw the coloring case, he wanted one too, so I had to come up with something more boy-oriented. He suggested a robot theme. So here's what I came up with: I forgot to add in the ribbon before I put the pieces together so I had to come up with something else. So on his I used the button and a hair band to close it. And this time I used new crayons for the picture. :)

I'll be making more of these for sure! As long as their aren't a lot of interuptions, I can remember the steps I need to do!

Working hard on stocking up for Craft Sales!

Here's another new project I have been working on! I found the directions online for these at Skip to my Lou. Here is the outside, all folded up: And the inside! Crayons and a book to color in!

And a view from the back!

I am working on ideas for boys now. Cameron and I sat and brainstormed some ideas for "appliques" for the front.

These are made from felt!! I drew the flower by hand, but I think it came out cute. Stay tuned for more of these cute cases to come!!!!

Lat Minute Teacher's gifts

So I realized on Thursday evening at about 6 PM that I forgot to make teacher's gifts for the kids to take to school on Friday Morning!!! I was sick and not feeling very creative, so I asked the kids what they thought of Monogrammed note cards. They both agreed they thought the teachers would like them. I worked on them until about 10:30 when I just couldn't stand being sick any more, then I got up Friday morning and finished them. The "B" ones I was working on 5 minutes after I should have let for work, so I didn't have time for the scalloped edge. These were for one of my daughter's all time favorite teachers. Her First grade teacher (she was in 3rd grade this year) "Mrs. B": These were for my son's teacher "Miss C"

And for my daughter's teacher this year "Mrs K":

Each teacher got a set of 6 matching cards/envelopes and a matching pen (I omitted the ribbons on the pens, not sure how I felt about them). The kids also picked out a Key Fob Wristlet for each of the teachers based on the teacher's favorite colors.
