I've been disabled.

I've not vanished.

I've not de-friended you.

I've not been killed off.

But I am not on there right now- not sure why, but I want to get back!!

As for this blog, it's summer & school is out-- I'll be playing soon.

Chaquita Banana Monkey

Chaquita was a mistake gone wonderfully well!

My friend Maria and I were trying to make a cow based on our sketches. We had 3 of them going at once and were having issues with the muzzles. This one was the most "monkey like," and we decided to go with it.

I think she turned out positively ADORABLE!

The eyelashes are a little on the heavy eye-liner side, but the stars in her eyes balance it all out.

What do you think?!

Used:
SU: circle punches, oval punches flower punch & word window punch. Top Note die also.
Paper: scraps
Other: glitter pen, ribbon

Great Classroom gift


My son loves to read. Loves is a strong word- but he really does. We bought him a 5 book series (Gregor the Overlander) and her read them all in a week. I was a tiny bit bummed, just because he'd gotten through them so fast. But, I was also tickled because he got through them so fast.
For his class gift, we made bookmarks for everyone. With the help of punches (circles & scallops) and stickers & stamps, we dressed up paperclips, did a fun saying from Dr. Suess and stick them in a baggie.
He said they were a hit!

Stamp Club #3

These aren't exactly what we did. Everyone made their own thing. But we did what has become tradition- altering a calendar and making a matching pen.

Everyone has GREAT creativity!! We did it a week early because of the holiday (mixed with crazy travel plans!!)
