Welcome!

As children we learned sharing was good. So I have decided to do just that. I am a homeschool mom of two. My daughter will be in the 6th grade and my son will be entering kindergarten. I have been a Bible class teacher for the little ones for almost 15 years. I love to be creative and over the years have collected many ideas which I have decided to share with you. But you may be wondering why I called my creative blog "theupbox". Well, when my mother is looking for something she always asks herself, "where is it...hmmm...I put it up, but where?" So for one special occasion a few months ago, my brother made my mother an "UP" box for her gift. Yes, it was just a plain cardboard box with "UP" written on the side with a marker. Not overly creative decorating on the box but I certainly give him an -A- for the idea. So now you may look through my creative "UP" box! If you like my ideas tell your friends ...they're free! However if you'd like to show your support, just click on an advertisement. Thanks!



Special Occasions

For my daughter, Brooklyn's 11th birthday we had a SPA party. The word spasiba means thank you in Russian.  So for the name of her spa we came up with "Brooklyn's SPASiba". 


Her spa party came complete with manicures, pedicures, massages, fireplace (well a DVD of a fireplace :-), music, a snack bar and lots of fun!

Her thank you bags or should I say, spasiba bags, came with a home remedy spa treatment sheet put together by scanning in a magazines articles then adding her name along the top for a one of a kind thank you gift.  Along with the sheet the girls found a journal, loofa, pens, lotion, lip gloss, stretchy headbands and a bag of oatmeal for their home spa treatment.
