{New} Items Coming Soon!

Well, if you've stopped by the etsy shop in the last 24 hours, you've noticed I'm on vacation.  Yup, that's right!  Just drinking Mai Tai's & laying in the sun...I WISH!  As if THAT could actually happen when you've got a 14 month old!  No, no...I'm on vacation in preparation for the upcoming school year.  As most of you know, I teach 4th grade, which means it's crunch time!  T-minus 3 weeks till the first day of school.

Though the shop will be closed for the next few weeks, I've been working on some {NEW} scrapbook designs for the shop.  Check 'em out!  Feedback is appreciated!

Is it REALLY....dare I say it...time to go {Back to School}?!? That's right! Summer has come and gone {literally}, and it is time to get back into those classrooms, organize all your supplies, decorate your space, plan some {top notch} lessons to WOW your kiddos on those first few days back, and as you know...that leaves ZERO only a small amount of time for you. BUT...I have great news! My friend, Hope King from 2nd Grade Shenanigans, & I know a *little* something about how hard teachers work and how much blood sweat tears LOVE we pour into our classroom each year. She has been planning a little something {for quite a long time} to hopefully set you on the right track for your best year yet!

For the next week {August 1-5}, 2nd Grade Shenanigans we will be hosting a massive giveaway with some of our favorite teacher things! ...Vera Bradley, chevron purses, a {Silhouette Cameo}...even a custom fabric cork board from {yours truly}...just to name a few! She's wrangled up some amazing sponsors, so hurry up & enter to win! It's easy, just stop by the 2nd Grade Shenanigans blog to get started...

{Baseball} Baby Shower

Last weekend the hubby & I hosted {our first-ever} couples baby shower...& boy, oh, boy...it was a treat!  Our good friends, Brittany & Greg, are expecting their first kiddo...little baby Owen...in late September.  We had a {Baseball Themed} event since the hubby & Greg played college ball together...what can I say...boys love imagining their future little sluggers becoming {MLB} all-stars!  The evening went without a hitch.  For a second there, I thought we might have a rain delay, but the weather cooperated nicely...even for a coastal {South Texas} night...in the middle of Summer, no less!!!

I've been making a TON of fabric cork boards lately. I really enjoy how creative my clients are.  They always come up with great color schemes to work with.  Here's a few of my favs:
