What Ali is Up To

Hello Crafters! Ali Here. I have been asked to do a monthly post on new and exciting things in my life.I couldn't be more excited to share them with you! I am an employee at The Wood Connection. I love being creative and thinking of fun ways to use our fabulous products. So, this month I decided to have a picnic with my cute nieces and nephews and would like to share it with you! Enjoy!

 Supplies:

Making this picnic fun and cute was SO easy!

Here are the items I picked out from The Wood Connection:

Ants (You can't have a picnic without them!)

Ladybugs

Ribbon & Straws for the Drinks

Paper for the banner

The rest of the items I had laying around my house!

Blanket, Pillows, Mason Jars, Old Baskets & Placemats

I can't leave without sharing one of my favorite beverage recipes!

The mason jar limeade is the perfect drink for any Summer day!

All you need is:

Cucumber

Frozen Limeade

Sprite Zero

Pebbled Ice (You can get bags of this at Sonic or a meat department at a grocery store.)

How to Make:
