Neck Tie Wreath and Banner - Pies and Ties Party

Today I am delighted to introduce you to my guest poster Katherine!  

I've known Katherine a long time.  I mean, a LONG time!  

We met and became instant friends when we both bought our first homes in the same darling Provo neighborhood, back in the early 90's.  

In the past few years we've rekindled our friendship via Facebook, and now we're GREAT friends via internet.

Recently we've discovered something new about each other.....we're both SUPER CRAFTY!  

I am in awe of Katherine's creativity and since she doesn't have a blog of her own YET, 

I begged her if I could share this amazing idea of hers here on my blog.  

I am honored that she said YES!  

So here you go!  

If you have an inkling to make Father's Day extra special, 

or if you have a missionary {like Katherine's son who just left for Finland}, you will certainly LOVE these ideas!

Start planning now so you can track down plenty of ties!

Father's Day for the dad of our house!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

to all of you great dads!!!

Recently the dad of our house got a new grill.

Not just ANY grill.

He saved up and got a Traeger!

Say hello to the TEXAS MODEL!

Father's Day Fun - Elmer's Glue Craft & Tell

Maddie & I were invited to participate with My Insanity's Mom and Me Elmer's Craft & Tell party.  

It was LOTS of fun!  

We got to make wonderful gifts for dad, make new friends, 

and bring home some incredible freebies from Elmer's Glue & X-Acto.

  

Each mom/daughter received some impressive goodies, including X-acto cutting mat,  knife, & scissors,  Elmer's glues and adhesives and these giant foam core blank cards to make a gigantic Father's Day card.  We also received several VERY cool Elmer's paint pens & gel pens (who knew Elmer's made pens??)

Maddie LOVED cutting out all of these coordinating ties  to create a fun Happy Father's Day banner!

Here's the completed banner.

We'll be using this year after year!  :)
