Scentsy Recycled Flyer Bags

The people have spoken! What did they say? "How do we do this?!" My mind is very point A ----- L, and nothing in between. I was one of those kids in math class getting the answer, but not getting points for showing the work! I'm rambling.

Use these cute little guys to deliver bars, Layers, gifts, Host bags, Recruiting bags, whatever you can fit in here!!

What do you need? FOUR things! Four Flyers, a ruler, a glue stick, and decorative craft scissors.

There's no need for hot glue, crazy glue, a paper "boner", etc. I keep it real and budget friendly! Lol!

Cut the top of each Flyer to mimic a paper bag. 

Glue 1/2 inch along one side of your paper.

Keep going until you have a cylinder, making sure the zig-zig pattern matches.

If the bottom *doesn't* exactly match, it's okay. We're not perfect around here!

Measure 1.5 inches.

Fold up and crease. Use your ruler to make your crease. 

Do this on both sides.

Fold your crease inside out, like a grocery paper bag!

Measure 2 1/4 from the bottom.

Fold your crease up and down. Use your ruler to help you press it down.

This part is kinda tricky. Fold the sides down until you have flaps on the long side. 

It's like wrapping a present! 

Use your glue stick to glue the bottom together.

Ta-da!!!! It may take a couple tries. (I gave those to my mom, haha!) 

Attach tags, ribbon handles, Scent Circles, business cards, wax samples, bows, candy!

Whatever your heat desires!!

Enjoy! XOXO - Terri

Unbirthday

A Very Merry Unbirthday to You!

   She lives!!! Although very precariously and is homebound indefinite this week. I just hope my eye is less crazy looking in time for Comicon. Or... Maybe I'll slap on a zombie costume and blend in!

  I had a bad accident on Friday, my birthday. I had a whole day of fun planned for myself and the children because my husband wanted to work on Friday. Here's your warning if you have a weak stomach, you might want to skip this entry!

My sister gave me this for Christmas and I'm very intimidated by it. It's so cute & I can't wait to use it!! Yes, that's Dave Seville in the background.

Here's my version of Origam-Owl Living locket. Instead of spending $35, I only spent $10. 

We finally had professional photos done. My friend, Christina, did our pictures and they came out amazing! The only other time we've had pictures done? Prom and wedding... LOL! We took Cooper to a kid's salon. He thinks there's a secret legion of ear collectors. He won't let anyone get near his ears with scissors or clippers. The nice lady shampooed his hair and cut it while he watched Wubbzy.

Cute kid.

Our photo shoot at Freestone Park in Gilbert. When we arrived, there were about 10 other people having their pictures taken, including a lady in a bikini with maroon hair and elf ears. Wish I got her picture!

L-R: Cooper's Baby Birth Club Jan/07 friend, Autumn. Luka, Jessica & Neal.

"We climbed all the way up here by ourselves!" 

Then I had a heart attack.

SuperMom shops at Target. My nursing cover is my cape!

May 18th, 2012. My first random act of kindness. I left a Scent Circle in the mailbox for our mail person. The summer must be brutal on mail carriers! 

This is a bag filled with baby formula, rice cereal, and baby food.

I dropped it off at A New Leaf - La Mesita Family Homeless Shelter.

Then, it happened.

 I got my receipt and put Luka is his chair. He threw his hand up and it went straight into the left corner of my eye.

I had muffins to deliver.

I had a grandmother to visit.

I had a basket of goodies to give to the wonderful women who take care of my grandma.

After I stopped screaming and crying, I looked in the mirror and drove straight to St Luke's.

Poor Cooper was waaay traumatized. 

He stayed calm and held my hand.

GROSSNESS

Here's where the nice guy came in and said he was going to pour raver-dye in my eye and look for scratches with a backlight. 

He said I have a tiny one, shaped like a tiny, little fingernail, lol!

Day 3 - Still obviously a HOT mess. Spent my whole weekend indoors working on crafts, housework and laying around.

At my Doctor's. I'm A-OK. No contacts until I stop my eye drop treatment.

Crappy birthday, although, any day after that is an improvement. :D

XOXO - T

Easta

We've been so busy this week! Trying to channel my inner Tina Turner.. "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo". 

Finding much solace in Draw Something. "TheTZA"

And for the love of Pete, I am using my iPhone, with my index finger! Haha! No iPad here!! ;D

I made this! It's a Birdie Fascinator!

The Boys <3

I did this using Ikea stickers. I do realize it should be it's own entry, but alas, I'm tired and have a busy week ahead. I haven't even done my nails yet!

Grandma!

XOXO

Monday

     Kids are still sick. Cooper had a fever of 103F last night and earned himself a trip to the ER where they told him he most likely had a virus. He still has Pacman Fever.
Since I knew we were just going to sit around today, I put myself to work. I made my Scentsy magnets. The girls on some of the FB groups are super creative and are sharing some of their wonderful ideas.

I employed "Lucy", my hot-glue gun, and got to work.

These two, I put a hair pin and a regular pin to put in my hair or fasten to a jacket.

    Last night was the Mad Men premiere! How was it?! I had to go read a recap somewhere because I know I probably won't get a chance to watch it until it appears on Netflix next year.

    Brief update. Until next time!

Hot Glue Gun & Draw Something Wishes,

XOXO

Haha, every time sickness hits the house, I wonder who the monkey was that infected us.... The boys and I have been sick all week since we traveled to Mom's house. 

My Saint Patrick's Day Mani. OPI Did It On 'Em

A giant storm came. It snowed all Sunday and Monday morning. When we went to visit mom at her office, the sun came out!

My sick baby. I saw that Hillary Duff named her baby Luca Cruz Comrie. Luka! Yea! Not sure about the Cruz, lol!

My WOTM/SOTM for May came in! I love it, it's so beautiful! My warmer is lilac with a hint of goldenrod on the top rim.

Behold! My Scentsy nails!

What I think the Scent of the Month smells like... It's so lovely...

Dayquil & Neti Pot Wishes!!

XOXO

Practice Safe Scents

Hi! It's me again! Today, we're going to learn how to make wax samples for Scentsy.

Things you need: cutting board/wax paper, paper towels, Ikea ice molds, your awesome Scentsy warmer, your favorite brick/bar. I also prefer a non-serrated knife (less mess).

Warm up the wax in warmer. When it hits liquid, immediately move to your work area.

If you have steady hand or a warmer with a spout, you can directly pour into your molds. I filled up these up only a 1/4 (more samples!) using a tiny tea spoon (spoon for tea??)

Then straight into the freezer for 5 minutes. I was cooking while I did this! It's super easy. Hands off my Ice Cream! ;)

Then gently move the mold around and they pop right out! Aren't they cute! 

I picked up these tiny jewelry bags 100 for .99

Printed these out on the back of my business cards. Shout out to a fellow Scentsy consultant for the description idea!

2 x .99 Ikea molds

1 x .99 bags

1x 4.25 business cards

$7.25 to make 25 samples!

PRACTICE SAFE SCENTS! :)

Sponge

This looks like the spray when the ocean waves hit the rocks and a fan of water splashes up. The water is so translucent, like glitter.

I call this look "Sea Spray.

I still had SinfulColors Greek Isles on. I cut a sliver 1/2"in wide off a dish sponge, dipped it in Greek Isles Neptune and sponge painted 2/3rds the way up my nail. After that dried, I dipped it in Zoya's Trixie and delicately sponged silver on top. Then I finished with a top coat to smooth it all down.

XOXO
