Mady's First Day of Preschool

So my youngest finally had her first day of preschool today.  She loved it although there were a few tears shed (mostly by me) but I think for her she really just whined for a second as I left.  When we left and I was crying a little my husband asked me if I wanted to go get a puppy.  I said why so I can have one more thing in the house who doesn't listen to what I say, LOL.  Maybe one day.  She was so happy when I picked her up and was telling me all about her day.

Last year when he sister went to preschool I decorated her bag by using my Imagine so I decided to break it out (it has not been used since last September...yikes) and decorate Mady's too.  It actually came out much better because I learned a lesson or two when I did Ally's last year.  I used Alphalicious for the letters and Best Friends for the little girl.  I think I may make my nieces some pillows this year for Christmas using this cartridge and the iron on.  It is so cute and really so easy.  It would be a good excuse to open my sewing machine that I have never used too!

Here is the bag:

I chose the little girl with the lipstick and girl power shirt because my Mady loves lip gloss but is a strong willed little mama who says she will play football, not be a cheerleader when she gets older.

Mady has not seen it yet but I know she will love it when I show her!

Here is picture of my littlest girl on her first day before the bag was decorated.

Thanks for stopping by, have a crafty day!

Iron Ons From the Imagine!

As soon as my daughter brought home her preschool bag (they have this instead of a backpack to make sure items fit and everyone has the same thing) I knew I wanted to use my Imagine (which I NEVER use).  It took me about 10 tries but I finally got it!  LOL.  The first time I used iron on "paper" that was not meant for dark fabric so you could not see her name (from Lyrical Letters) or the little ballerina girl (from Best Friends).  So I finally went to Michaels and purchased some iron on "paper" meant for dark fabrics, thank goodness for my coupon.  Today, I printed it out about 4 times before I got it right (I only used 1 sheet of the iron on).  I need to change the pressure and speed to get it cut out without ripping and even in the end I had to do some touch up on the Ballerina.  FINALLY it was done and ironed on, YEAH!  I know Ally will love it :)  TFL.
