Thankful Lunch Sack Messages {PRINTABLE}

Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a great weekend!  The Sutch's are suffering from sinus junk...all of us.  It's a big snot fest over here.  :(

Even when I'm not feeling too good (sick, sad, etc.), an unexpected surprise or message always puts a smile on my face.  I loved when my mom dropped a sweet note in my lunch sack or when Keith leaves me a love note on the kitchen counter, so I made these Thanksgiving themed lunch notes for my loved ones and I'm sharing them with you.

Simply click on the image to enlarge it, right-click on the image and select Save Image As, print it out, cut out each message, and surprise your loved ones. :)  Drop them in your kiddo's lunch sack, tape one to the steering wheel of your hubby's car to start his day off with a smile, or slip one in your coworker's mailbox at work.  There is a message for everyone. :)

Consider this free printable my "I'm thankful for you" message in your lunch box! :)  Have a turkeyriffic day!

Linking up to these parties!

Happy Halloween

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!  This was Kason's first time trick or treating and we all had a ton of fun!  I'm so happy with how his costume turned out and I'm glad I gave a go at making it on my own.  It was original, creative, and affordable.

I started with a blazer and a pair of pants that I picked up from a local thrift store.  I distressed both pieces by cutting little bits off from the seams, scraping the fabric with sharp scissors, and cutting small holes.  Then I used Heat and Bond to adhere patches and used embroidery floss to "sew" around the outside of each patch.  I threw them in the wash to complete my distressed look!  For just a few dollars, I achieved a very "Frank" worthy wardrobe.  :)

 

Then it was on to constructing the head of Frankenstein.  I started with a McDonald's Happy Meal pail.  It fit perfectly on Kason's head and he actually liked wearing it around the house, so it was a win/win situation. 

I cut a piece of polar fleece to cover the outside of the pail and used Fabri-Tac to glue the ends together creating a cylinder.  Next, I cut out a piece of black craft fur and used  hot glue to glue the fur around the top of pail.  I cut the side pieces for the hat and attached them with Fabri-Tac and used a piece of Velcro to attach it under Kason's chin.  I finished it off with black stitches and little, wooden knobs that were painted silver and hot glued onto the sides for Frank's bolts.  Then I just slipped the hat onto the pail and hot glued around the edges to hold it in place.

My little Frankenstein

 
Have a wonderful start to your week!  I'll see you all on Tuesday for Sutch an Inspiration!
