Christmas Candy Craft

Here is a new Christmas print-out for this year! These are a bit more time consuming than the candy cane craft from last year; but chocolate with a side of breastfeeding info will probably go over even better than the candy canes did! You could also do a healthy treat in these - nuts? trail mix? raisins? These treat bags were 2"x3" and I found them at my local Wal-Mart in the cake decorating isle - $2.50ish for 50 bags. The template has 8 cards per page and can be downloaded here -->    

1. Fill bag with treats - I did 3 pieces of chocolate in each.
2. Print the template on card stock
3. Cut and fold the cards in half
4. Fold the top of the bag down and staple the card on! 

If anyone needs something non-Christmas, just let me know and I might be able to whip something up for you! Leave a comment if you've got something in mind.



Candy Cane Craft

I wanted to make some quick little goodies to hand out to people while at work, so I made these little papers to slide onto candy canes. Sugar with a side of breastfeeding info!

There are two different sheets you can download and print. Print on red, green or white cardstock. Each sheet has 8, just cut on the lines and then cut with a craft knife on the litte X to slide the candy cane through.

Sheet 2

Enjoy!

Scotie's Birthday Shirt

Dr. Scotie - Future Breastfeeding Doctor

I made this shirt for Scotie's 5th birthday because she said she wants to be a breastfeeding doctor when she grows up!

Welcome!

Kristen and I were brain storming ways to help all the counties in district VIII get together and share ideas. She suggested a team blog and so I set one up! Everyone in the district is welcome to post - just leave a comment with your email address and I'll send an invitation for you to become an author. We can share all sorts of things this way - class ideas, special projects we're working on, pictures, events, etc. I hope everyone jumps in!
