A Special Drink ...

Hey Ya's!  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

I had a weekend filled with my little Bodhi's Karate testing (which is always so enjoyable to watch all the little kiddo's do their thing!  Soooo cute!), watching the Super Bowl (OMGosh .. so stressful .. hahahaha!) and making rainbow loom bracelets with little Bodhi.  

Do you all know what the Rainbow Loom thing is?  Holy Smokes, I think I must've helped Bodhi make about 20 bracelets in a matter of 2 weeks!  LOL!  There's so many different patterns to make, and they're really cute for the kids (adults too I hope .. cause I have to wear mines!  hehe!)  And we've been making for Grandma, Grandpa, cousins, friends .. wow wow wow .. I mentioned to a friend that I may have to hide the loom for a few days!  lol!!!

Annnnyway .. I wanted to show you a little something I've made using a Starbucks cup for a dear Birthday Gift!  She's already rec'd it .. so I can show you!  :)

One night I went to put something in our recycle bin and saw my empty Starbucks cup and I said, "Hey!  I could put things in there to make it look like a colorful drink!"  So, I went to my favorite Starbucks store and got some new cups and here's what I came up with:

I wrote on the little chalkboard .. but it doesn't show up in the photo .. And I wish I had grabbed a straw so I could have placed it inside too!




Well, thank you so very much for visiting me .. I truly love it when you do!  I'll see you again soon!

Hugs,
Elise

This is adorable!! Love all the colors and the pearl and lace, such a wonderful decoration to have. :) And this way one could actually dust it. ;)

I have never heard about Rainbow Loom before now, but I googled it, and it looks like something I may get to know later on, as I have a daughter this might be suitable for. :) Looks fun!

Hope you are having a super day!
Hugs, Anne.
