Glass Tile Magnets - Pink Ribbon

I've been getting a lot of positive feedback on the glass tile magnets I've been making so I thought it might also make a nice fundraiser item for the Breast Cancer 3-day Walk my family is doing. To fit in with the theme, I added a chocolate & pink ribbon at the top and a pink ribbon embellishment at the bottom. "Hope" and "Love" are perfect messages for this great cause.

Glass Tile Magnets

This is another easy-peasy project. I used 1" x 1" glass tiles from my local home improvement store (they were in the back splash tile section); some black vinyl for the lettering; heavy-duty magnets; some permanent adhesive; card stock; ribbon; and Button Boutique stamps from PTI.

I wanted these magnets to have the "feel" of scrabble tiles, but I wanted them to be a little fancier, so I found colored glass tiles that I thought would be super cute. Here's some of the finished gifts I made...

More Soap Dispensers!

Boy-oh-boy...There are a lot of people around Minnesota with very clean hands! Friends and co-workers have been purchasing these from me as gifts for their loved ones. They make such a thoughtful, unique gift for that hard-to-buy for person.

And the hand sanitizer bottles make perfect gifts for teachers, pre-schools & daycare providers!

Breast Cancer Ribbon Soap Dispenser

My two Aunts participated in the 3-Day Breast Cancer walk last year and were able to raise a TON of money for the cause. This year, they will be walking again with the addition of my sister & my cousin. I try to help out by coming up with fundraising ideas for them.

The soap dispensers I made over the Holidays were such a big seller (in fact, I'm still getting orders for them) that I thought I'd make a Pink Ribbon version that my Aunts can use to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness. Here's photos of round one (I'm not crazy about the ribbon I chose for this one. I'll probably be changing that up in future rounds):

Baby Wipes, Round Two

My second attempt at making a stylish baby wipes case was much easier than my first. While attempting the first one, I learned what not-to-do & I picked up some "tricks" that made things a whole lot easier the 2nd time around! So, here's my second case...

Stylish Baby Wipes Case

While nothing can make changing a baby's diaper fun, at least now you can look stylish while doing it!
I've seen these in boutiques for around $35.00 (which I think is a lot of money for a baby wipes case). But, with a little bit of fabric, some batting, and some ribbon, you can make your own! This is my very first one, so it's not as "finished" as I would have liked it to turn out, but I learned some tips & tricks along the way so my second & third ones should be a lot nicer!

Hand-Stamped Onesies

This project will go down as another one of my favorites. Partly because it was so easy to do and partly because they are so darn cute!
I started off with plain, white onesies. I washed them & dried them. I then stamped them using permanent ink and stamps I got from Papertrey Ink called "Baby Button Bits." After stamping the images, I heat set the ink using a heat gun (putting them in the clothes dryer on the hottest setting for 10-15 minutes works too). Then I sewed the matching buttons on - too cute!
