The Elsa Coupe

Every year, my playgroup gets together in a herculean effort to raise money for Relay For Life (an event for the American Cancer Society). We are super into the relay’s dress-up races, funny costumes and general silliness. And we’re a really competitive bunch, too, so we do all kinds of fundraisers and parties and such things getting ready for the event. My amazing friend, Alisa from Sweet Party Treats, is multi-talented and makes over Cozy Coupes to raise money for the event. This year, we are shamelessly riding the Frozen wave and thus was born the Elsa Coupe. Alisa painted the base color of the coupe and prepped it completely for me, and I spent a fun day at her house just painting, chatting, and generally being happy that Kiddo 3 adores my friend, so that I could paint in peace. This is how it came out. Sorry for the phone pictures; I didn’t think to take my camera with me… I strictly had painting on my mind.

The front:

The side (it wasn’t completely done at this point, the steering wheel and the gas cap were being painted to match): elsa5

The Queen of Arendelle herself: Elsa4

And a fun detail we added: A curtain in the back of the coupe, that kind of looks like the bottom half of her dress. Elsa1

Hopefully this Cozy Coupe will go to an adoring Frozen fan and raise some money for a great cause. Hope they like it!

On the Road Bento

road

Today’s bento is On the Road themed 🙂 Transportation is on my mind lately because my city’s roads are being all re-done and the city figures that the best way to do it is all at the same time :-/ which for me is totally inconvenient, as going somewhere usually takes twice as long because of all the stops. Traffic gripes aside, here’s the bento!


Main PB&J sandwiches, stacked two up
Sides Mandarins, string cheese, black grapes, and three M&Ms
Also included (but not pictured) yogurt
