SuperheroButtons

As many of you may know I have been planing my Lil dudes SUPERHERO birthday party. I have exactly one month and 2 weeks. Not as much time as I hoped I would. I did procrastinate since my baby was born, she kept me pretty busy. but now I'm back on a roll. I make most of the birthday stuff by hand, i prefer making then buying that way they have something unique and special. I did the same for my daughters birthday for example; tutus, jewelry boxes, flower wands ..etc. It can be a challenge @ times but I enjoy using my creative side. So far my guests seem to love the idea that its hand made. (sometimes it feels like the parents enjoy it more then the children ;D) anyways before I completely get out of the main reason for this post...here is what I recently worked on, they are superhero buttons. All together these Buttons cost under 5$ to make. enjoy .

Completed result

My motherinlaw found these at the dollar tree it contains a surprise superhero and  12 collectibles stickers. We bought some for my son and some for his little guests goodies bucket.

back of the sticker

I used my big Kick & sizzix die cut to cut the sticker

I cant emphasis how much i like this machine. its simply amazing i have used it for many different projects. if you haven't seen or heard of Sizzix i suggest you check it out. I cant possibly explain how much it does in one post. If you own one you know what I'm talking about.


I used the medium size circle (blue on the cover)

The Buttons package. Purchased at Michael's
This is how they looked from the front & back. I also used black board paper in black . I did have to trim the sides a bit with scissors in order to close the buttons properly.It was quick and easy. I personally loved the look of it.

Hungry for food and want a fun view for you and your family? Well my favorite and my kids favorite "Rain Forest Cafe" the name says it all a restaurant,Bar,& store in the theme of a rain forest. Its filled with animatronics such as Gorillas,elephants, birds & trees. It is an exciting experience for children and adults. I personally love the food there is plenty to choose from. You pay for what you get the plates are large and even the kids menu is plenty for one or two children. My favorite is their rotisserie chicken and their poatao chips. Recently we bought our membership that includes some nice perks like 10% off the store & 10%of the bill or appetizer. They have a promotion going on for the membership here is the link so you can check it out on your own   http://www.rainforestcafe.com/safariclub.asp .  I like it because we can use it at any of their chain restaurants and coming this August will be going to the Rainforest Cafe in Disneyland.

MInimalism & why it works for us

Image
My family and I are almost close to our 1 year of becoming a minimalist family (family of 5). Just as we are approaching the new year in about 5 hours, I'm sitting back reflecting on how and why I decided to take the leap into this new mindset and living. I was tiered.... that's the best way to describe it. sometimes I would sit back and think, Am I lazy? am I so disorganized that these rooms cant stay clean for more than 5 days? How and why did I buy all this stuff? Where is all my money going? I guess you can say the frustration was so overwhelming that I knew there had to be a better way But to be honest I didn't take the first step. My daughter took it for me. She wanted to earn money and I told her if she can clean her shared room up we had a deal. well she did just that she cleaned up her shared space. She bagged everything!! she bagged everything that was hers  as Donation and garbage!except her brothers stuff which she put aside for him to decide. She le

For the Cars Fans

This post is specially for all the little Cars fans. We went to visit the Disney store in San Francisco because we were told that only in that Disney store & Disneyland your child can build there own car which was  inspired by the Movie Cars 2 . I have seen something similar at Disneyland but not with any of the characters in the movie. So basically you purchase the Car and any car parts that you will like, it varies from mufflers , lights, rims, wheels etc. The  price of the car ranges since they also have remote controlled ones. Once you purchase the Car and parts you can choose to either take it home to assemble it or ( My favorite) part is that your child can assemble it in the store where they provide a little mechanics section . Below are some pictures I took inside the store.                                                          Address : 39 Stockton St                                                                        San Francisco, Ca
