It has been over 2 years

Hi all!  It has been over two years since I last blogged.  

With all the changes in my life and the kids growning up so quickly, I just do not have the time to blog like I did.

If you found my blog after all the time and would still like to see what'sup with me.

You can find me on facebook.

I Facebook regularly and tweet every so often.

 

until we meet again,

OK I'm back!

Yes, it has been a very long time. Ok let me be honest a very very long time since I blogged.

Life has changed in such amazing ways for me and the kids in the past 7 months. The kids are growing and I am now working from home and loving it.

Change is good and I am loving it. The kids are thriving and I am excited.

I have been an active Facebook-er but it is just not the same as sitting down and reflecting.

Since change is here, I am working on a new blog header and taking photos of some crafty things.

I must admit that now that the dust has settled, the kids are back at school and the holidays are behind me, I am FIRED-UP!

until we meet again,

I'm having an A+ day! Just got back from having lunch with Chi-Chi at school and now I am off to try and find my first GeoCache with the boys. We have just under three hours to see if I can't do this today.

36 Days and Counting!

I know I know, can you believe it! School is almost over. The summer is once again upon us. 

I'm the Mama that always gives a handmade gift. That's who I am.

Well I was in Archivers at the 1.99 bin, and there were these trapezoid shaped clipboards from EK Success. 

The metal clip at the top comes separate. I did not have to worry about piecing anything together at the top. Love it.

I had seen them before but never really thought much about them. But for 2 bucks, I figured why not. It sat in my house for weeks.

Sunday I was crafting with Debbie and the bug hit me to make these. I told Debbie that I was going to keep it simple and not over do it. She threw down the gauntlet and I accepted my own challenge.

I used some left over ICE Resined flowers from my cards, a piece of ribbon and Basic Grey Recess. 

Jillibean Soup made the felt flowers. They are laser cut and I love them. The edges will not fray.

I had originally only made one for her classroom teacher Ms. McCullough. But of course when I showed Chi-Chi the one, she "needed me to make two more" for her Principal and Assistant Principal. 

I made them all for under 10 bucks and stuff out of my stash in less than an afternoon.

And yes, I put the names on with STICKERS. Everybody has to love a good set of letter stickers now and again.

They turned out super!

Teachers love a thoughtful gift. 

until we meet again,
