Oh, balls!

  L-Rod has yet another birthday party to go to today.  It is really hard (and pricey) deciding what to get each kid (boys and girls) for a gift.  So last spring, I came up with an idea to give everyone a jar with their name on it full of gumballs (thanks Cracker Barrell for the idea).  I went to the local wholesale club and bought a 17 lb. box of gumballs and a bunch of jars.
It is hard to see the bow in this pic, it is a sheer zebra print.  I guess by spring time, when all the birthdays I have given this for rolls around again, I am going to have to come up with another go-to gift.  It really takes the stress, time, and expense away.

Last night I was working on gifts again.  I made L-Rod a recycled T scarf....yep, forgot to take a pic again.  It turned out pretty cute and I hope he likes it.  I also made my ex mother-in-law a tea towel with L-Rod's silhouette on it.
I added a couple of ruffles to the bottom..and ta-da! I got the idea one day while I was browsing the net and I really can not remember where I saw it (sorry if it was one of you).  I am making a matching potholder with his handprint on it. 
        Hope everyone has a great day!
