So anyway, I decided to make some fun things for the kiddos to have for the long car ride!

Crayon rolls for the younger ones....and for the older ones...

a drawstring bag and roll up for colored pencils!
I also wanted to make them something to collect memories...

Autograph Books!! These were very time consuming, but soooo worth it!! I used cereal boxes, covered them with Contact paper and added stiff felt, ribbon, and lots of fun trims! I used card stock for the pages because I wanted them to be durable and not tear out! Thanks to my friend Kathy and her awesome Crop-a-dile, I was able to punch holes through the cover AND all pages of the card stock in ONE punch!!!! That thing is AMAZING!! I got some gift cards to Hobby Lobby for Christmas from my mom and sister (thanks, ya'll) and you can BET I will be looking for one of those!! I just used a Sharpie to write their names, but added a little glitter to bling it up! My sister got all of the kids pens, so they should be set!! Oh...here is what they will carry it all in...

I had a whole bunch of drawstring bags...not sure where I got them from...or WHY, but I found them during the Great Sewing Room clean up and knew they would be perfect! I used my Cricut Expression to cut out the mouse ear appliques and ironed them on. I used a tight zig zag stitch to secure them and stitched on the bows for the girls'.

Here is a little close up of all of the girls' gifts....and here is one of a single set....

I was soooo happy when I was done!! It was very time consuming, like I said...but I am so proud of how it all came out!! :) I added coloring books and word searches to round out the gifts.

So, for my NON-Disney going niece...

It is made with brown Kona cotton and dotted flannel. I used velcro for the closure. She is 18 months, so I figured it would be easier to get her in and out! JoAnn's had these little spools of rickrack for FIFTY CENTS!! I bought a whole bunch! I think it added just the right amount of cuteness! So, that's it for now! I'll post the adults gifts next time! It won't be as picture heavy...maybe!
Oh yeah, one more picture. This is for my dinosaur-loving Boy!
