Pirates, Elections, and 2 Celebrations!

Hey!  That title has some rhythm!

Happy Sunday friends!

So I went to school yesterday to do a little work before heading to the pool but all of the doors had that huge orange bar on them...so I could not get in...at all.  Apparently our school was on lockdown due to the floors being waxed...I was bummed....

so I went shopping instead...

I found these cute pirate treat bags at WalMart for less than $1.00.  All of you with pirate themes this year...go and pick them up!  They're so cute and colorful and you could use them for just about anything!  I'm thinking I'll use them for my treat bags for my Open House.

Then, I headed to the Family Dollar Store (aka Election Headquarters) and picked up a few things that other bloggers have shared, but also found some Election garb.  I'm not sure how we're going to "do" the election as a grade level but I had to pick these up!

 They had fun stickers too!  I'm going to use the "I Voted" ones for our Election Day and I'll use the flag stickers on Constitution Day.

So I was feeling a little better and remembered that I needed to get a little something together to celebrate my 200+ followers!  Since we're all either on our way back to school or already with our newbies, I thought I'd just throw together a fun treat box to help us with our back to school jitters!  I've included a couple of treats from my cousin's shop, Wendy Kromer Specialty Confections.  She's designed wedding cakes for Martha Stewart and is incredibly talented!  She has a little cafe in our downtown area and sells lots of yummy stuff.  She also designs these fun cookies!

So leave a comment on this post and I'll choose a winner by Christmas...in July, of course!  :)  In the meantime, I've uploaded a few more items to my TPT shop for free from now until Christmas.  They're yours if you want them!

Well...since working at school is out of the question today (BUT I REALLY NEED TO GET IN THERE!) I guess I'll head to Soak City to soak up some more sun and fun with my nieces and nephew!

Have a great day!
