Tire Swing Meets Rocking Horse

 

We visited a different pumpkin patch than usual this year and they had the coolest tire swings! The tire swings were formed into the shape of a horse. All the kids (and even some of the adults) had a blast rocking and riding the tire swing horses.

I did a quick google search and discovered that the horse shaped tire swings can be DIY'ed from a single tire, cut and turned inside out. All you need is an old tire, some sharp shears and a lot of strength. Here is a link to one of the DIY Pony Tire Swing Tutorials I found online.

Now, who wants to make me one? :-)

Wooden Number Birthday Card

A special friend turned seven this fall. Here is a photo of his gift. Instead of a traditional birthday card, we wrote our birthday wishes on the back of a wooden number which corresponded to his age.

Little wooden numerals like this can be found at any craft store and are generally pretty cheap. Ours came from Walmart and was only $1.47.

Trace, cut, and mod podge scrapbook paper onto both sides of the wooden number. Write your birthday wishes on the back side and attach with ribbon or raffia.

Happy Gifting!!
