Anniversary care package

Our Anniversary, which is the day before his birthday, also comes while he is deployed. So you guessed it I made an Anniversary in a box. :)

He got Cookies, animal crackers, Boxers (not my choice but it was needed) and his anniversary present. The first year is paper, so I got him a book he has been talking about lately. I am getting better at these packages. 

Birthday care package

My loving husband's birthday happens to come up while he is deployed so I tried to make the birthday party go to him. 

I the box I placed oreo cookies (birthday cake ones are no longer made I guess), pretzel sticks with cheese dip, some party horns, purple rope lighting, this room air fresher  and tons of candy. It happens to be his 21st birthday but we all know I can not send alcohol. - darn 

I hope he likes it and we will just celebrate when he gets home. 

Christmas presents

These are the presents I made for my two nephews and my 3 nieces this year. They all loved them when they saw them Christmas morning. I love smiling faces. 

This first one was for the oldest Emmy. My sister could not believe I made it. My first purse ever. I think I did pretty well on it. 

This one was for the youngest Alison. She did not get to come this year for Christmas but I bet she will love it. 

This was for my little Diva Destiny. She would not take it off the rest of the day. I am so glad I chose to make this for her. 

Both boys Marc and Elijah recieved football beanies, bigger than this one. I have no idea what happened to the picture of the ones I made for them. 

My Pinterest project

Just a note. I never make the projects I find on any website the exact same as they do. I always find ways to change it to my liking and/or find easier ways to do something. I love, love, love this project and since I am living with my parents until my solider returns I figured this would help me out a bunch. 

This is where I got the idea from

There are a few tweaks I would like to make to mine, but so because I am trying to get a routine down for myself for the next 7 months or longer.

Here is mine:

I used press board from Lowes for the back. Cardboard I have around the house for the baskets, a can for the pencil holder and other things I already had around the house. 

I even have my solider's picture on it so every time I place something on my board I see him :). 

Christmas care package

So this is my first care package where I got to have fun. (The first two were just crap he needed).

Obviously its Christmas  I over bought for the box and broke it up into two. So he will be very happy. The cat picture is on here because I was tempted to make a third box and mail him the cat. Of course the Army would not allow this, but he misses the cat and the cat misses him. I had so much fun decorating. And getting all the little treats. I hope he likes them and way more to come :)
