DIY Custom Mugs

My sister is moving overseas and I wanted to get her a few things before she leaves. More importantly I wanted to get her something handmade that she can always use and remind her of our sisterly bond. I thought why not do a custom coffee mug. We're huge coffee drinkers, we've been like that for years. We come from a Hispanic background and if coffee was served everyone drank it. Coffee time was time to socialize.

Fresh Pumpkin and Banana Muffin

With Halloween over I'm sure a few of us have leftover un-carved pumpkins. I had 3 extra pumpkins we did not carve so I decided to make use of them instead of throwing it away. I wanted something sweet so I decided to do what I always do when I have old bananas, muffins! As kick this time I added pumpkins to my recipe. I had to work on the pumpkin ahead of time.

DIY Dance Bag for under $10

Every year I find myself going through new dance bags for my daughter so this year I decided to be a bit more frugal. My goal was to buy or make a custom dance bag for my daughter. I visited my favorite craft store (AC Moore) and shopped away. I found these hot pink glitter alphabet stencils and the ballerina bejeweled iron sticker. This was just the beginning ;). Now the store had a few options for bags but nothing that caught my eye. 

I decided to visit the $1 store because I know they also tend to carry crafty supplies. Lucky for me they had the bag I was looking for and better yet it was only $1 ;)
