Just another Manic Monday...

Back to school for the kiddos...
I started my day off with a big cup of java.
So much for me quitting.  Isn't it a necessity for the first day of school anyway?  Just sayin..

Today was a good day.  Crazy busy, but nice.  Both of my kids started new schools so I'm curious about the outcome.  I think I was just as nervous as them.  So back to school inspirations are my theme today.
Here is a cute homemade lunch bag I found @ Purlbee.
The tutorial is also posted.




Cupcake anyone?


Then the whole chalkboard thing has me thinking...PAINT!
All of the ideas are superb!








Now I'm off to make my little family dinner and I'll also be babysitting tonight.
Just call me busybee today...I'm sure I'm not alone.

  5. Dear Natalie,

    Very to the point post! Perfect for this time of the year... It is back to hot coffee soon, to warm our hands and our hearts! Love to hold a cup with both hands in wintertime; such a blessing.

    Sunny greetings from Georgia,
