Going to grandmas

(warning this post has lots of photos)

Usually a trip to grandmas house is fun but this time the kids didn't really want to go.

But dad & I are going to Palm Springs for a golf weekend and well the kids weren't invited.

Being the great mom that I am {wink} I decided to make them a treat bag filled with

some candy treats and some things to do....because after all look how precious they are

{wink, wink}

this isn't something new or even to hard to make - what makes it special is the

effort you put into making the bag...

All you need are some paper bags (lunch bags), some scraps of paper and some stamps...

None of this is exact science or precise measurements...I just cut a piece of scrap paper

to cover a section of the front of the bag

then I inked the edges and glued the piece down. Just anywhere.

I used one of my punches and some more scrap paper just to add a

little decoration...ink those too

then I glued them down in different places & also added another punch out

just to make it pretty -

then take some stamps or some stickers and add your childs name to the bags...

I had to make all three bags close to the same because if your kids are like mine

they notice if she got an extra butterfly or he got more candy

so all three bags are almost exactly the same.

then I just filled them with the treats - most items are from the dollar spot

and some from the dollar tree...and can I tell you that they were super happy

to get them and have something special to have and do at grandmas house this weekend.

BTW- this really helps with the mommy guilt too...

Here's hoping you all have a fabulous weekend with or without your kids.
