I have had some people ask about our Ninjago party invites and decorations. I got some of our ideas from this blog:

I also found most of the other stuff off of Google/images. I hope this helps you in your Ninjago party. I would love to see pictures and hear all about your party!!!!

Easy Easter Painting Project for Toddlers

I had the kids paint a piece of white cardstock with a couple of pastel colors.

When it dried, I cut out an egg shape (older kids would be able to do this themselves). Instant Easter decoration!

DIY Valentine Decoration

When I was using my Cricut to cut out "tags" for my kids' Valentines, I cut two that were way too big for what I needed (they were 10" long). I loved the way they looked though - I really liked the paper and the shape. So, I came up with an idea. My husband cut some scrap wood that was the same shape and size as the "tags" and drilled out holes to correspond with the holes on the paper "tags". I Modge Podged the paper "tags" onto the wood templates. I then tied some ribbon onto the top. They make a perfect Valentine decoration - I hung them on my front door!

DIY Halloween Decorations

My husband and I were out shopping this past weekend. We went into a greeting card store to look at their Halloween decorations they had for sale. I loved this "Boo" sign made up of three separate wood blocks! I checked the price and about died when I saw they were asking $30 for it! I told my husband that I would make my own the next day.

My husband cut pieces of wood (that we had left over from another project) at different heights. I painted each piece black and used a stencil for the letters (you could hand write it too). I used a white paint marker to paint the letters on. This is how my sign turned out! It is as cute as the one in the store, loads cheaper and more meaningful because we made it! The possibilities with this project are endless! You can do it for any holiday and use any words you want!

DIY - Bowling Ball Caterpillar For Your Garden

I took 5 bowling balls that I picked up at yard sales and spray painted them green. I then took different colored paint pens and made spots on each of the balls. I added a face to the front ball and drilled two small holes above the eyes. I bent wire hangers to look like antennaes and spray painted them yellow. I stuck them in the drilled holes (I filled the holes with a little hot glue to help the antennaes stay in place). I laid him in front of some hosta and a little fence we have in the back yard. He has made a fun and colorful addition to our yard! Everyone has loved our new little creature!
