Working on my show caboodle

My horse show season is about to begin!!! .... YAY!!! ...[insert happy dance] ... And so that means it is time to clean out, organize and restock the old Caboodle ...  what is a caboodle? ... pretty much a makeup box with everything you might need to be show ready!

Quick Crafty Organizational project:

We found these small gift boxes at Michaels ... And thought they would be great to hold bobby pins, safety pins, hair clips and other little things like that ... So we added a horsey sticker and a label ... And we were done ...
An organzied caboodle is super helpful during a show... which can be crazy by itsself ...

Here is a list of some of my Fave caboodle items:
  • bobby pins
  • hair net
  • black electrical tape
  • face powder to reduce shine
  • mascara
  • tinted lipgloss
  • earrings
  • number magnets
  • safety pins
  • baby wipes
  • armor all wipes
  • makeup cleasing wipes
  • hair clip ( jeweled or small bow)
  • tie bar (for saddleseat riders)
  • small first aid supplies (bandaids, alcohol wipes, neosporin
  • small scissors
  • sewing kit with thread
  • granola bar
  • sharpie

Happy cantering :D

Tips from the Barn: add a little Charm

As the blankets and sheets were being pulled out of the storage bin preparing for the cold night... I asked my instructor, "how do you know who's is who's ?"  She replied, "some people write there name on the inside of the blanket, but that can look a little messy.... So I like to use dog tags."

DOG TAGS!!! How ingenious is that!!! So my mom and I were on the hunt to find dog tags... Then we came up with the idea to use fancy little bling-bling charms from the craft store in the jewelry making section... LOVE IT!!! 
We got the little bedazzled "J" for $2.50.
And I even made a cute little charm bracelet with the leftover charms to match my boy Johnny ;o)
We have the same heart ;o)... Get it! hahaha XD
