Gift Idea: Church Backpack

This is such fun gift. A Backpack full of fun things to keep young ones busy at church. Books, crayons, paper, small toys, a small baby doll, fruit snacks ...

The best part of the whole gift though, is the poem that came with it. My sister-in-law Lacey is such a great writer:

The mommies are crying,

the old men are snoring.

Let's face it ... for one year-olds,

church can be boring!

You're not still a baby,

You don't slee all day --

but not yet the age to join nursery to play.

"So what in the world will I do?" you might ask.

Don't worry, your cousies will help you and fast!

We've packed you a bag of our favorite stuff,

to help make your Sundays -- not quite as tough!

We hope you love princesses,

babies, and more ...

crayons and stickers and fruit snacks galore!

First Night Kit

It's so not like me to put together a gift like this ... but someone gave me these items when I got married, and I'm so glad. I went to another bridal shower over the weekend so I put together a

First Night Kit ...

It was so easy to put together. I recently ordered a bunch of the cotton drawstring bags, and I had iron on sheets so I designed the image and ironed it on. Hopefully it will be useful for the bride and her groom on their first night!

I didn't dare post the picture I took of what's inside. You can probably imagine ... some of the things. I also put in candles, gum, mouthwash, and a naughty book.
