On Saturday, participating A.C. Moore stores present a FREE Band-a-Palooza event. This FREE Make & Take event allows participates to create a stretch band bracelet using the loop tool.

Date: Saturday, August 31, 2013

Time: 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.

Location: Check A.C. Moore’s website for participating locations.

This project reminds me of making latch hook mats when I was younger. Though this make and take uses stretch bands rather than yarn, the project provides opportunities to using time wisely with those who love crafts at a great price.

Although, if you get hooked, then you might be spending some cash to create fun memories at home. Happy crafting!

Chick-fil-A: Cow Appreciation Day – July 12, 2013

Get your cow gear ready because Friday, July 12, 2013 is Chick-fil-A’s annual Cow Appreciation Day. Don’t be shy! This is a great event for pictures and lots of laughs. Those who do not dress up stand out among the herd. 🙂

If you dress from head to hoof in cow attire, then Chick-fil-A will reward you with a free meal. Not quite ready to do a full costume? Well, you can still score a free entree with partial cow attire (e.g., shirt, hat, tail, etc.).

This event is one of my family’s favorites as my children would love to eat at Chick-fil-A every day. We have a running joke in our house because any time our children have loose teeth, they lose them the day we visit a Chick-fil-A.

I’m sure it is because we routinely meet friends for lunch or chill for a family dinner at Chick-fil-A. However, our children especially ask to visit Chick-fil-A when they have a loose tooth.

In case you need some inspiration for your cow costume, our herd was captured on film in 2011 and 2012. I waited for a sale on t-shirts and painted our own. For Christmas last year, my parents gave us Chick-fil-A cow bells. So, those will be a new addition this year.

Looking for an easy costume, then use what you have around the house. We did this for the first few years until we realized this was an annual event that we planned to do each year. Once it was a permanent activity, then we invested money, energy, and time into our costumes.

You can also download the Chick-fil-A Cow Starter Kit. Print out the parts and place them on cardboard, poster board, or stick them to your clothes. If you do the latter, you might want to safety pin the items as they will fall off with tape. (I speak from experience, as we were constantly picking up parts of our costumes when we taped them to ourselves. It was fun, but a bit of a hassle.)

The research is done. You have one week, so get mooo-ving. Oh, Chick-fil-A employees enjoy any cow jargon you can give with your order as well. 😉 Cow Appreciation Day is really fun spending time with friends and family, watching others, and enjoying a free meal or entrée for your investment of time. Happy appreciating the cows!
