Find the how-tos for making these individual servings of homemade ice cream favors (as in, mix and shake) HERE at Style Me Pretty designed by City …

I am going to make this for my kid. This free backpack pattern and tutorial look just perfect for him. Do you ever see tiny kids carrying huge backpacks bigger than themselves? That always make me sad. Really? Five year olds have that much homework?!
