TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK "GIFTS"

Well this week is our school's Teacher Appreciation Week.  Our school gives a list with the gift "theme" of each day of the week.  With this in mind and my love for Pinterest, I made these very quick, simple and inexpensive gifts with the printables all via http://www.tipjunkie.com/end-of-school-year-activities-homemade-gifts/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TipJunkie+%28Tip+Junkie+-+Creative+Inspiration%29&utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher

This link gives you the a list of wonderful sites to visit for these printables!

Monday: Give your teacher a sweet treat

Tuesday: Give your teacher "Color" (supplies)

Wednesday: Give your teacher a sharpie

Thursday: Give your teacher something to "sprout" about

Friday: Tell Your Teacher why he/she is special

This one is a work in progress, will post after its finished :)

Using my stash of left over Echo Park "Be Mine" papers and stickers, and random pieces in my "scrap" pile, including ribbons, Basic Grey Flower Embellishments and left over words from my TC "Sports Edition II"  I'm getting these LO's done of my daughters Spring 2012 Softball Season!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STOPPING BY AND VIEWING :)

My new toy that I'm embarrassed to say I have had since the first of March....but in the chaos of children, activities, work and remodeling...I'm barely just taking it out of the box!  But oh how I'm excited....I've been wanting a very openly versatile machine for a long time and know I have much more crafty flexibility!!!  Can't wait to try it out tonight!!!

Making an Appearance

Oh me oh my...where to begin...No, I have not fallen off the face of the earth, but my husband and I are remodeling our home and it has truly consumed our time along with the kids and all of there activities.  I feel horrible because I have not been actively reviewing all of your blogs, because I honestly love seeing everyones creativity!  Well I finally have had a couple of minutes to sneak in a few LO's as my new tile flooring is installed!  Here is a tid bit of my house in chaos and my quit bit of scrapping!

What I've been up too......

Well I have been an extremely busy bee these days!  I haven't had the chance to photo many of my late night projects. 

Happily though I had an amazing girls scrappy weekend at the Scrapbook Expo in Anaheim in the midst of my crazy life.  Love my kids and truly enjoy watching them in all they do, but between sports and school, I have little time to craft....thus my retreat at the Expo was so much needed and allowed me to get my crafty juices flowing! 

Here are some quick pics of a couple of things I did thanks to the Expo:

WINTER/NEW YEARS LO

**Used MME Lost and Found Papers and Thickers for this LO (flowers were made from Basic Grey scraps)



CHEER LAYOUT FROM MY DD'S CHEER

I put together this LO with the typical Bling, Sparkle and stars you would expect for any All Star Cheer LO...love my bling!  Papers were just a hodge podge of scraps from past LO's

CRAFT CHALLENGE GIFTS FOR OUR GROUP OF CRAFTY FRIENDS

I put together these gifts for the challenge with a Valentine's Love theme.  Each of our "crafty" friends received one of these personalized with their names on them.  I purchased all contents at Hobby Lobby and had a blast putting them together.

 **Each envelope in the kit contained a SECRET word that the crafter was to use on their LO or Card, along with instructions on what needs to be met for the challenge.
