I added a silver & crystal embellishment to dress up plain flip flops from Old Navy
I am thinking of adding a tag that reads "Can't believe were FLIPPIN' 40!" What do you think-tag or no tag?

Clothespin Couture
Catching up on my blog reading this afternoon, I found these fun, custom clothespins on Creature Comforts. They have created an easy, step by step tutorial on how to make your own designer clothespins.
All you need is some standard wooden clothespins - generally found in the laundry supply section at stores such as Target (about $3 for 100),fabric scraps in solid colors or prints - light-weight cottons will work best, double-sided tape and scissors.
1.Pull out a strip of double-sided tape that is as long or slightly longer than your clothespin. Attach it to the surface of the clothespin making sure to keep it free from bubbles or creases. The tape should be lined up evenly along one long edge so that the excess hangs off the other sides (seen in the photo above). Trim off excess using your scissors - this works best when the tape-free side is facing towards you while you cut.
2.Place your prepared clothespin tape-side down onto the back side of your fabric (make sure the right side of the fabric is facing down for this step so that it will be displayed correctly when you are done). Turn over and use your finger to press and smooth the fabric onto the tape. Cut excess fabric off all sides - this works best when the fabric-covered side is away from you while you cut.
they also created these adorable pom pom clothespins
you can find all the instructions here

Reading with Dr. Seuss
One fish
Two fish
Red fish
Blue fish
Can you guess what book I am reading to my son's class tomorrow? I thought these gummy fish might make it a little more Seussical.

Robot Pops
Yesterday, I found these lollipops & loved the color swirls for the robot party
but what I didn't like were the giant, UNREMOVABLE stickers on the front.
I cut circles of scrapbook paper & placed on robot stickers
& VIOLA, the Robot Pop is complete!
I left the lollipops in the original display box & stuck the entire piece in a shoebox covered in left over Robot gift wrap.
This was a very easy project & literally only took 30 minutes to make!

Robot Favor Bags
On my last minute search, I found these cute robot gift bags that I am using for the kids party favors! HOWEVER, as my son pointed out, THERE IS A HEART IN THE MIDDLE! SO my question to you is, does the heart make it to Valentiney?? (yes, I just made up that word) Should I cover it or leave it? Any & all OPINIONS would be GREATLY appreciated!
