My dad called me on Friday afternoon to tell me that my two of my cousins, who together have FOUR children, were having a joint birthday party. Fun right? Well, the party was SATURDAY!!!!! They do this to me EVERY year. And EVERY year I am so shocked and caught off guard! You'd think I would learn by now, LOL! So, I was frantically trying to figure out what to give these kiddos for their birthday. Also trying to figure out was there ANYTHING in my stash of 'potential gifts' that I could use. We were super busy getting ready for an open house on Sunday and I did not have time to go running all over town for last minute gifts. Low and behold, my silhouette came to the rescue again! I found some water bottles on the cheap a while back and stocked up on them. My intention was making teachers gifts and adorning them with vinyl. However, for ages 10ish-14ish, I figured that'd work just fine. Feast your eyes on my finished products:



The two girlies got polka dots on theirs. I decided after lots of thought to just leave the boys with their initial on them. I didn't want anything to look to cheesy or girlie for them. ;-) My dad's bday is this week and I am hoping to get his cake made tonight and a special project for him also using my silhouette. I will post it next!
Here are a couple of pics of the fresh flowers I put out for our open house. I wish I could have them sitting out all the time! =)
Hope everyone had a fun weekend!
*Added: I will link up this post to all my parties on the side bar =)
