FREE PRINTABLE: MAGIC JELLY BEANS

I found this idea on pinterest a year or so ago and I am so excited that Ellis is finally old enough to get excited about it! I decided to design a cute little packet to put the 'magic' beans in and turn it into a free printable so you guys can do it with your kiddos as well! I have so many memories as a kid getting so excited about the magic of the holidays. This is just another tradition to make Easter even more magical than it already is.

DIRECTIONS:

- Buy a bag of jellybeans and a bag of lollipops or suckers

- Download the free printable and print on card stock or thicker paper (8.5x11")

- Cut out and score on the dotted lines (shown below)

- Secure the tabs with double stick tape

- Fill the packet with jellybeans

- Put the packet in a fun place for your kid(s) to find on the Saturday before Easter

   (under their pillow, in the mail box, in their shoe, etc.)

- Have them plant (or sprinkle) them either in a bowl of sugar or outside in the lawn

- After they have gone to bed, replace the beans with lollipops

- Watch them get so excited in the morning when they see that their magic jelly beans have turned into lollipops!!!

FREE PRINTABLE: 'You're A Hoot' Mini Owl Eraser Valentine

Happy Monday! I have been a bit busy with freelance work and the five million other things I currently have on my plate, but I am trying to get all my free printable valentines posted for you all a good week or so before Valentine's Day! :)

I got these ADORABLE little mini owl erasers in the dollar section at Target. 60 for a buck! Now that makes for affordable valentines! I found them a few weeks ago, so they might be hard to find. If you plan on making these, I would call Target and ask if they are available in their dollar section and if not, ask if they plan on getting any more in. I hope they continue to restock. They are just too perfect to valentines!

DECK OUT YOUR DESKTOP

My office cube at work is filled with paperwork, random crap and dust at the moment, but at least my desktop is always pretty! I love that so many talented bloggers/designers just GIVE us pretty freebies to deck out our desktops! Here are a few of my very favorites! (My computer is rocking the pink ombre at the moment :)
