It is birthday season around our house and if you are like me I am always on the look-out for cute invites for my little ones. These beautiful handmade invites can really make a statement without breaking the bank. You can custom order your invites to fit your birthday child's personality.

She can even create invites for you to fit your party theme. The best part about this is not only are you getting a beautiful product the proceeds will go to help furnish supplies for students and teachers in Namibia.

Sew Cute Boutique

Here is another crafty lady...not yet a mommy but she is crafty. A friend of mine has started a new adventure with her business. It is Sew Cute Boutique. She is making these adorable tutus, bows and monogram bibs/burp cloths. The best thing about it is they are reasonably priced. All of us thrifty moms want our girlie girls to look great well now they can without breaking the bank. I have purchased bows for my little one from her and she is making a tutu in burnt orange for our little longhorn. Hope you enjoy this crafty gal.

Felt Food

Now that you have the cute little oven why not make some food to go with it. This adorable felt food is handmade in the U.S. by Lilly Bean Market. Not only are all the items made in the U.S. you can also purchase the kits to make them yourself. Not a sewer? No worries, you can purchase already made items as well.
Also check out the Lilly Bean Blog it has videos on making some amazing felt food. This is one crafty mom that took her craft and made an awesome product. Thanks again to Jeanne for this adorable find.

Cardboard-Box Oven

This cute little oven comes to me via email from Jeanne. She was watching Martha Stewart and this was one of the crafts for the day. It is a darling little oven made from a cardboard file box! You can check out all the details on how to make it and watch the video at Martha Stewart. Thanks Jeanne for this cute find!

Spelling Practice

Practicing your spelling words is never a fun homework activity. Here are a few fun ways to spice up spelling practice. Crayola has great bath crayons; while your child is showering give them a "spelling test" and let them write the words on the tile wall. If you have a glass shower door you can write the words on note cards and tape them to the glass and let them trace the words for practice.
