My husband is SUPER STOKED to see this movie.. He told me he used to play the original over and over again when he was little. I haven't seen the original but I am thrilled to see this one! In case you haven’t seen it yet, here is a first look at PETE’S DRAGON, a reimagining of Disney’s cherished family film starring Bryce Dallas Howard, Oakes Fegley and Robert Redford, which flies into theaters on August 12th!
A reimagining of Disney’s cherished family film, “Pete’s Dragon” is the adventure of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliott, who just so happens to be a dragon. “Pete’s Dragon” stars Bryce Dallas Howard (“Jurassic World”), Oakes Fegley (“This is Where I Leave You”), Wes Bentley (“The Hunger Games”), Karl Urban (“Star Trek”), Oona Laurence (“Southpaw”) and Oscar® winner Robert Redford (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier”). The film, which is directed by David Lowery (“Ain’t Them Bodies Saints”), is written by Lowery & Toby Halbrooks based on a story by Seton I. Miller and S.S. Field and produced by Jim Whitaker, p.g.a. (“The Finest Hours,” “Friday Night Lights”), with Barrie M. Osborne (“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,” “The Great Gatsby”) serving as executive producer. 

For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Robert Redford) has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales…until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley). Pete is a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliott. And from Pete’s descriptions, Elliott seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham’s stories. With the help of Natalie (Oona Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Wes Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon. Disney’s “Pete’s Dragon” opens in U.S. theaters on August 12, 2016.

    My husband is the guy that has it all. When I made that candy bouquet, I knew I had to step up my game and make him something pretty cool. The concept is pretty much the same for this idea! It is a Lotto bouquet. The best thing about this is that it is not only a Valentine's Day gift, but you can do it for Birthdays or Anniversaries too! 
    What you need:
    • Lotto tickets- However many you want. I bought $45 in tickets and split them in $5 tickets and $2 tickets. It is completely up to you!
    • Kabob Sticks
    • Vase
    • His/Her favorite Candy
    • Tape
    • Small decorations to add flair.
    • Paper and Scissors
    • Markers
    I cut out paper and made this corny/cute sign to place on the bouquet. I thought it would be cute!
    The dollar store has everything you need besides the tickets too! Be creative with it! 
    I put the tickets in groups of three and placed them on the sticks with tape. I filled the vase with candy and stuck them all inside. You may need to cut down a stick or two to make it look nice. After I placed the tickets in the vase, I added the small pieces of flair, such as the sparkle hearts and kisses! I Also found the gift bag bow and wrapped it around the vase to make it have the last touch! Add your sign and flair, and woohooo!
    I am SO happy with how this turned out! This is the perfect gift for anyone!! 
    Get creative with it and have fun! Another idea is that you can make roses out of money and add it in the vase with the tickets too! I hope you like my idea! Feel free to share via one of the buttons below! Thanks for reading!
