Isn't that the cutest!  My littlest one loves elephants.  Any and all.  This is currently for sale in my Etsy shop but she really wants to keep it for herself.  I love how this piece came together!  I found it on a tutorial from  http://www.craftinessisnotoptional.com/  

My lazy Sundays often include searching the web for things to make or a genius way of putting something together.  Today we are watching football.  Well, ahem, the rest of my family is watching football.  I am "stitching up loose ends" before my week starts.  I am on the search for some disappearing ink pens.  I read something about Frixon pens that when heat is applied, all marks disappear!  I haven't found them yet to try them.  Typically I use a regular pencil to mark things ever so lightly.  But it would be pretty cool to have a real sewing pen to use.  I remember when I use to sell Creative Memories and purchased the  Tool and Clips.  THAT was the most used piece of scrapbooking equipment I have ever bought.  I still use it.  It was only $6!!!  I love great products!  I love great products that are not over priced even more.  Please feel free to share your most loved product, even if it's not craft related.  Happy Sunday!

First day of Preschool has arrived!  The Bug decided to wear her green apple clip today.  I love that she is so willing to wear my creations.  What an interesting year this will be.  I have a middle schooler (6th grader), 5th grader, 3rd grader and preK.  I'm shaking my head in disbelief as I typed "middle schooler".  Where did the time go?  I'm trying to stay distracted by creating stuff...but it's not helping 100%.  However, we had NO TEARS this year!  Score for mom!  My brave girls!  Bean starting a new school and not having her brothers to look after or be with her seemed to make her out of sorts yesterday morning.  Gasp!  She had to walk to the bus stop.  But she returned to me with all smiles.  As for the other 3, same teachers as last year so no anxiety to deal with.  They all went to school with confidence already knowing expectations and rules of their classrooms.  The beauty of looping up.  I hope everyone has a wonderful start to their school year!!!
