My big birthday was last weekend and despite all the craziness of COVID-19, my husband and I were able to get away for celebration. We drove 3.5 hours south to Dripping Springs, TX and stayed the weekend at Camp Lucy. I never went to an &#39;overnight camp&#39; as a kid. But here I am at 40 years old! Camp Lucy is like the ‘Troop Beverly Hills’ version of roughing it. Designer cabins, signature cocktails, resort amenities, fine dining, and a few ‘outdoorsy’ activities. Read on to find out all about this gorgeous wedding venue and Hill Country Resort. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG84PEzxyB3S86PoDxwDyiDi-Ihad8W4Ep8PXe69v0MlK5XeAW2F9MJzFEaz4R7OeDeJOLIyOjnnbHXkSu8ZSZfLg3IPGkpf92J3i9n0ukqRGvFcg7cwXAFS2MkYL6osgYuaSC2rS1NRlg/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG84PEzxyB3S86PoDxwDyiDi-Ihad8W4Ep8PXe69v0MlK5XeAW2F9MJzFEaz4R7OeDeJOLIyOjnnbHXkSu8ZSZfLg3IPGkpf92J3i9n0ukqRGvFcg7cwXAFS2MkYL6osgYuaSC2rS1NRlg/w480-h640/IMG_4106.jpg" width="480"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><span></span><a href="http://www.craftytexasgirls.com/2020/05/camp-lucy-40th-birthday-weekend.html#more">"READ MORE" of THIS POST, Click HERE</a>Crafty Texas Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16874837905884286405noreply@blogger.com0Dripping Springs, TX, USA30.1902067 -98.08667811.8799728638211555 -133.2429281 58.500440536178843 -62.9304281tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355345472109773017.post-18962434496199344332020-05-10T22:30:00.001-05:002020-05-10T22:30:44.199-05:00How are you all holding up? As quarantine continues we are finding we need &#39;less&#39; rush and busy, and &#39;more&#39; time for experiences. One thing that the girls and I have been loving is riding bikes. Both my girls have always had bikes, but between school and after school activities, we weren&#39;t using them very much. Now that the world has hit the &#39;pause button&#39; on our schedule, we have had time to rediscover the joy that comes from simply being outside. Are you finding more time to be outside too? Thinking about getting a bike? Keep reading to find out more about our bikes, where we ride them, and how to get back to basics with your kids.<br> <br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJKOrnrwq-u24JzJST6vaLXbDCpA7YVPXR-ygdjR3c7uaR9mnwC6n2MeP5Bg1qWWIMwAxR75MrMOgGn_UoLvQCjG8QTsANtXtQSJYJgnWSTmFAYETpfvezTKfgyvQBQos0Zbdo-3WX1Bpt/s1600/640BA599-B6D4-4F96-A8EB-DDA6C4085E72.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1280" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJKOrnrwq-u24JzJST6vaLXbDCpA7YVPXR-ygdjR3c7uaR9mnwC6n2MeP5Bg1qWWIMwAxR75MrMOgGn_UoLvQCjG8QTsANtXtQSJYJgnWSTmFAYETpfvezTKfgyvQBQos0Zbdo-3WX1Bpt/s640/640BA599-B6D4-4F96-A8EB-DDA6C4085E72.JPG" width="512"></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br></div> <br> <a href="http://www.craftytexasgirls.com/2020/05/quarantine-bikes.html#more">"READ MORE" of THIS POST, Click HERE</a>Crafty Texas Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16874837905884286405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355345472109773017.post-76883310407028588412020-05-04T22:01:00.000-05:002020-05-04T22:31:31.179-05:00Since our kids are all learning from home, Teacher Appreciation Week is going to look a little different this year. But like everything else that has changed- birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, etc- the heart of the event has stayed the same. We all love our teachers (maybe even more now that we have taken on some of their duties!) and we want to show them how much we appreciate them. If you are stumped on how to do this from a distance, you have come to the right place. I have lots of ideas to show your teachers how much you appreciate them, even from 6 feet away.<br> <br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTiaKUimdeXAXKfBxrITCjlACfWa5l1pEjPJ6tYvo1_KjMIfoWHiqar6OU4SmQ5RhJjhiPIJLmXVe9G9JIvxINDxN7iHG7nQi05jyjFpEgXoPBStSfARJwtoSERC-Luz9uXgyWwortl8mv/s1600/quarantine-teacher-appreciation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="1317" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTiaKUimdeXAXKfBxrITCjlACfWa5l1pEjPJ6tYvo1_KjMIfoWHiqar6OU4SmQ5RhJjhiPIJLmXVe9G9JIvxINDxN7iHG7nQi05jyjFpEgXoPBStSfARJwtoSERC-Luz9uXgyWwortl8mv/s640/quarantine-teacher-appreciation.jpg" width="556"></a></div> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.craftytexasgirls.com/2020/05/7-quarantine-teacher-appreciation-ideas.html#more">"READ MORE" of THIS POST, Click HERE</a>Crafty Texas Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16874837905884286405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355345472109773017.post-52963400687879924692020-04-22T21:21:00.001-05:002020-04-22T21:21:53.669-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Happy Earth Day! In our house, it&#39;s a tradition to make &quot;Recycled Hats&quot; to wear to the school Earth Day celebration. Since we are doing &#39;online school&#39; for the rest of the year, I was worried that our tradition might be ending. Without an official &#39;Earth Day&#39; school celebration, would we will still continue our crafty creations?! Luckily my 14-year-old daughter came to the rescue and insisted that &#39;the show must go on!&#39;. She designed and crafted this recycled dress and headband for her little sister.

We have all been tasked with something that at first seemed impossible, but has now become our new routine. Stay at home. Stay at home. Stay at home. The coronavirus is a killjoy. But life has found a way to go on. The sun is rising and setting. The days on the calendar are ticking by. And in the midst of a global crisis, there are people and there are birthdays. So how do you celebrate a special occasion when you have to social distance?  No hugs, no kisses, no parties.

I LOVE them! And as much I enjoy planning them, they are also my favorite to attend. If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably seen photos of my youngest daughter performing ballet. This weekend will be her 5th year to perform in the Colleyville Ballet&#39;s production of the Nutcracker. To celebrate the show, one of my &#39;dance mom&#39; friends hosted a &quot;Nutcracker Christmas Party&quot; for our girls. I loved all the treats, crafts, and decor. She added so many fun details to this Nutcracker party. It was right up Maisy&#39;s alley- and mine too!<br> <br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjExurYxZmdRNDvy2O6qLd_tXPhllL7lX4-L2hfkkdZPR0wMbCQ6f4MGKKaI-eBL0yxH994X9vWFFZoJVweXvLe1Pj_PoIITl4xN3QBuPd9zdAVv85BS4hgECDQghzy_II_cu9sWVCzE98/s1600/80573010_10220650670798062_6321399631519416320_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjExurYxZmdRNDvy2O6qLd_tXPhllL7lX4-L2hfkkdZPR0wMbCQ6f4MGKKaI-eBL0yxH994X9vWFFZoJVweXvLe1Pj_PoIITl4xN3QBuPd9zdAVv85BS4hgECDQghzy_II_cu9sWVCzE98/s400/80573010_10220650670798062_6321399631519416320_n.jpg" width="400"></a></div> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.craftytexasgirls.com/2019/12/nutcracker-christmas-party.html#more">"READ MORE" of THIS POST, Click HERE</a>Crafty Texas Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16874837905884286405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355345472109773017.post-44836379961168696522019-12-17T22:02:00.002-06:002019-12-17T22:02:51.865-06:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Are there any other former teachers out there? I know who you are! The ones who love a good bulletin board, the ones who understand how excited kids get for classroom holiday decorations. My friend Regina (also a former teacher) and I thought our big 4th grade kiddos needed some Christmas cheer at school.  So we decorated their teacher&#39;s doors! Since we had to do 5 doors and there were only 2 of us... we wanted to do something that did not involve wrapping the entire door. I think this Reindeer Door Decor is both simple and fun! </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4DX70b5-tuj7PnV8PsIyDTXmZ7C0BQNu7g46FomVAVKuuCBHCftco6xz9P4FJwAHf064JbReloJMHAlUWNjcqr0yqZ5Br7ymFD8YYHXNzb_Ys0HYd5xXd7XeEjKuKGddc4Pik9YJQE_4/s1600/78824793_10220621169540549_4100830513613242368_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4DX70b5-tuj7PnV8PsIyDTXmZ7C0BQNu7g46FomVAVKuuCBHCftco6xz9P4FJwAHf064JbReloJMHAlUWNjcqr0yqZ5Br7ymFD8YYHXNzb_Ys0HYd5xXd7XeEjKuKGddc4Pik9YJQE_4/s640/78824793_10220621169540549_4100830513613242368_n.jpg" width="480"></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <a href="http://www.craftytexasgirls.com/2019/12/easy-reindeer-classroom-door.html#more">"READ MORE" of THIS POST, Click HERE</a>Crafty Texas Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16874837905884286405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355345472109773017.post-75810537812165957082019-12-05T14:12:00.001-06:002019-12-05T14:12:58.979-06:00<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: , , , &quot;.sfnstext-regular&quot; , sans-serif;">For Thanksgiving, we decided to get out of town! We have been wanting to take our kids to Washington D.C. and this week off from school provided the perfect opportunity. If you are interested in making the trip to Washington D.C. (with or without kids), this post is for you. I am sharing what museums we visited, where we ate, what monuments are a &#39;must-see&#39;, and all the experiences you won&#39;t want to miss. Everyone - young and old- needs to visit Washington D.C. at least once. </span><br> <span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: , , , &quot;.sfnstext-regular&quot; , sans-serif;"><br></span> <br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwJ1MC4Gsw6sfTdupsP2g0rMyQj0XRnzkzN0cENAsy6VJ8IZ0-2yW7ay8GJekUefx3kDAlM1Y42ISR5co3fdYcaHqHmbMnAHouoB_lSh3Whl5pnNnHx-RfvUZB_kQLsz2ibxMsL5nPobOu/s1600/washington-dc-with-kids.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwJ1MC4Gsw6sfTdupsP2g0rMyQj0XRnzkzN0cENAsy6VJ8IZ0-2yW7ay8GJekUefx3kDAlM1Y42ISR5co3fdYcaHqHmbMnAHouoB_lSh3Whl5pnNnHx-RfvUZB_kQLsz2ibxMsL5nPobOu/s640/washington-dc-with-kids.jpg" width="480"></a></div> <span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: , , , &quot;.sfnstext-regular&quot; , sans-serif;"><br></span> <br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <a href="http://www.craftytexasgirls.com/2019/12/family-trip-to-washington-dc.html#more">"READ MORE" of THIS POST, Click HERE</a>Crafty Texas Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16874837905884286405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355345472109773017.post-34477342820716028702019-11-16T10:44:00.000-06:002019-11-16T10:44:04.944-06:00Afton invited me to be a &#39;guest crafter&#39; for her NCL meeting. National Charity League (or NCL) is a mother-daughter service organization for girls in grades 7-12. It focuses on building mother-daughter relationships through community service. The girls meet as a group once a month. Their meetings are centered around a guest speaker or a community activity.  For this meeting, the girls wanted to work a craft. I was so honored that Afton suggested I help with the meeting. (Anyone with a teenage daughter knows this is a big compliment- ha!)  So I worked with another mom to come up with a craft that would be meaningful and fun for 8th-grade girls. After talking about all issues and pressure young women face in middle school, we decided that bullet journals would be perfect.<br> <br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0K-SJ3ExlZ32jxWPio7rQ6mB6EPXwqjXERi9RgoMDhVUuLABuXLXoZ2fm4hYBnpxOUxAqUFn8YmIXfnYQqzz-c85HBDCbiiGpxq0mHLSh1FU-eozEAkHCIfC-Apso-PCZasEwCLG-T1Y/s1600/0-9.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="599" data-original-width="545" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0K-SJ3ExlZ32jxWPio7rQ6mB6EPXwqjXERi9RgoMDhVUuLABuXLXoZ2fm4hYBnpxOUxAqUFn8YmIXfnYQqzz-c85HBDCbiiGpxq0mHLSh1FU-eozEAkHCIfC-Apso-PCZasEwCLG-T1Y/s1600/0-9.jpg"></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <a href="http://www.craftytexasgirls.com/2019/11/bullet-journals-for-teens.html#more">"READ MORE" of THIS POST, Click HERE</a>Crafty Texas Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16874837905884286405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355345472109773017.post-55717452175436894922019-11-03T09:14:00.002-06:002019-11-03T09:14:50.118-06:00Pinner&#39;s Texas 2019 did not disappoint!

We were part of <i>that </i>Spring Break crew who lived it up on South Padre Island. As the years passed, we moved up to Port Aransas. And now that we have kids, that&#39;s the beach that calls us back. Some people question Texas beaches. After all, Texas is not the first place you think of when it comes to &#39;beach life&#39;. But those who have been know.... Port A is once of the best kept secrets among Southerners. Want to know what makes Port Aransas so special?

Sometimes it&#39;s a full meal. Other times it&#39;s just a treat. For October, we decided to do a &#39;Trail Mix Bar&#39;. I love snacky foods (who doesn&#39;t?!!) so this was a fun event to plan. This &#39;Trail Mix Bar&#39; would be perfect for a birthday party, baby shower or any event where you want to present yummy munchies in a cute way. </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgab5h8MU_GlRW42juL5q4dS28g-s00ssFlwcRVJ2_bhYQYKsVRbXSCjgBBS6AqgpoFZ856RYh4MJ6TmJDQ_tsDTI1dS6K4NFRv1qIKDrL4Hxr43RCKjpIa1GKQ1VyjLpqaXjDYyHzPgZuB/s1600/IMG_9210.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgab5h8MU_GlRW42juL5q4dS28g-s00ssFlwcRVJ2_bhYQYKsVRbXSCjgBBS6AqgpoFZ856RYh4MJ6TmJDQ_tsDTI1dS6K4NFRv1qIKDrL4Hxr43RCKjpIa1GKQ1VyjLpqaXjDYyHzPgZuB/s640/IMG_9210.jpg" width="640"></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <a href="http://www.craftytexasgirls.com/2018/11/fall-trail-mix-bar.html#more">"READ MORE" of THIS POST, Click HERE</a>Crafty Texas Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16874837905884286405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355345472109773017.post-12722449725644960432018-11-13T22:24:00.000-06:002018-11-13T22:24:34.318-06:00My baby turned nine years old! To celebrate, she simply wanted a sleepover at home. So I started planning! We decided on a &#39;glamourous camping theme&#39; also know as &#39;glamping&#39;. Part of this was due to the adorable tent we bought for camping... but have yet to use! So with our theme in mind and a handful of excited guests, it was party time!<br> <br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim1ebNG-h80GuxisUH4KPEMwJC_d0STuiVlePnErjy65CW0y9aQwP1Lt7Ca3lINC60BobAnr807wJDkUHd50TT8gME-EtLaWowBKnA2oFYWzFJ-UXahRIpLMxnn1Am7M3qABWYdDsG65HA/s1600/IMG_8468.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim1ebNG-h80GuxisUH4KPEMwJC_d0STuiVlePnErjy65CW0y9aQwP1Lt7Ca3lINC60BobAnr807wJDkUHd50TT8gME-EtLaWowBKnA2oFYWzFJ-UXahRIpLMxnn1Am7M3qABWYdDsG65HA/s640/IMG_8468.jpg" width="640"></a></div> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.craftytexasgirls.com/2018/11/glamping-party-using-cricut-to-make.html#more">"READ MORE" of THIS POST, Click HERE</a>Crafty Texas Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16874837905884286405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355345472109773017.post-45930250723070186882018-10-03T03:30:00.000-05:002018-10-03T03:30:03.415-05:00Probably the most busy time in the PTA world is the beginning of the school year. PTA volunteers are organizing school supplies, teacher luncheons, membership drives, meetings with administration, training for new board members, and more! In the interest of &#39;sharing is caring&#39; -- I thought I would show what we did at our elementary school. Hopefully it will give you a few ideas you can use on your campus.<br> <br> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqd-WM8YAdBOTksZOhyphenhyphenauezoMPQRBowFUfizhWzrNg1OntdPnrAFR7tDAF3KYTBe1uH-e9nZRDp07ftYMhUepumX7z3EIlUhyx6R3LtMK-OMiKPjNPQNYXIbuu8cJjsX9-nw1MZrsW0x48/s1600/IMG_E7306.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1526" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqd-WM8YAdBOTksZOhyphenhyphenauezoMPQRBowFUfizhWzrNg1OntdPnrAFR7tDAF3KYTBe1uH-e9nZRDp07ftYMhUepumX7z3EIlUhyx6R3LtMK-OMiKPjNPQNYXIbuu8cJjsX9-nw1MZrsW0x48/s640/IMG_E7306.jpg" width="610"></a><br> <br> <a href="http://www.craftytexasgirls.com/2018/10/pta-ideas-for-kicking-off-year.html#more">"READ MORE" of THIS POST, Click HERE</a>Crafty Texas Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16874837905884286405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355345472109773017.post-77070409457832384002018-09-26T03:30:00.000-05:002018-09-26T03:30:11.913-05:00I am in full PTA mode over here! When I think about volunteering, I want to live the motto &quot;I don&#39;t <b>have</b> to volunteer, I <b>get</b> to volunteer!&quot;. It&#39;s a privilege to have the time and resources to serve others.  And one of my favorite groups of people to serve are &quot;teachers&quot;.<br> <br> Teachers! What can I say? Have you <i>been</i> into a school lately?!! Teaching is not a job for the faint of heart! So let&#39;s take care of teachers.
