Party Time

Today I'm jumping in with a quick post so I can join the party going on at Tara's blog 4th Grade Frolics.  It's time for Monday Made It.  I'm kind of starting to panic now that summer is almost over so I'm focusing on the "functional" like Tara said a few weeks ago here.

Each year I try to make my kids feel super special on their birthday. They get a special crown, they get to be the line leader all day, and the birthday frog sings happy birthday while the rest of the class dances for them.  Inspired by all of the birthday pixie sticks that I've seen floating around Pinterest, I decided this year to go back to one of my old favorites . . . birthday bags.

A quick trip to Walmart, some dollar spots and my secret magic closet and I got these supplies together.

One or two reality shows later and ta-dah ~ my birthday bags.  I think that the kids are going to love getting these as an extra special treat.  

Each bag ended up costing around $1.00ish to make but the looks on my kids faces when they get their bag is like the commercial says . . . priceless!
