A Very Productive Day

Today was extremely productive. I went to Joanne's crafts and spent two gift cards that I got for Christmas. I had a great time. Then I got out the sewing machine and made some things for my sister-in-law Jesse.

First is what she asked me to make for her, a business card holder:

It has snaps to hold it closed. 

Since I don't want to just mail her that one little thing, I had to make a few others...

Here is a little tea wallet:

This next is something I am planning to make a few of for me and Alex. This is a reusable snack baggie. The inside is a laminated cotton material that can be wiped clean or hand washed. 

 Once I was done with all of that I prepared me and Alex's lunches for tomorrow:

This top one is Alex's. From the right: Apples that have been soaked in pineapple juice so that they won't brown for breakfast. For a snack there is bell pepper strips with hummus. Lunch is lasagna with a small piece of triple chocolate cake for dessert. Not pictured is a trail mix to go with breakfast made of sunflower kernels, pistachios, banana chips and dried cranberries.

This is my lunch: Apple slices, baby carrots, Laughing cow garlic herb wedges, sesame crackers. In the little red cups there is mini-pepperoni, hummus, peanut butter and a small piece of triple chocolate cake.

I had a lot of fun making our lunches and I am looking forward to figuring out what to pack for lunch tomorrow!

Ending today with a super adorable animal:
