My Apologies...

Sorry, I haven't posted since Monday!!! That's really bad!

This has just been such a crazy week. I had a huge presentation due on Wednesday. I had to plan a five day thematic unit. The unit had to cover nine different learning areas each day, and I had to provide examples of graphic organizers, rubrics, and art projects that I would do. I also had to write lesson plans for each day. I tried to combine a lot of different learning areas together (ex. reading & social studies), but I still ended up writing 22 lesson plans!!! So that's what I have been doing along with all of my other end of semester papers, projects, etc.

I do have to admit that last night I wasn't working on homework. My friend Mandey and I went and played BINGO!!! Okay, Okay, I know what your thinking... But, it really was a lot of fun!! Plus I won $20!!! I plan on using this cash to order extra goodies tonight at our Stampin' Up workshop. We have a group that gets together every 4-6 weeks and have a workshop. We all just take turns hosting. This works out quite well!

Okay, back to stamping... After seeing these cute little boxes on Charmaine's blog, I decided to try one. It really was easy once I figured out how to fold the paper! I also changed the ribbon a little bit. The original tutorial said to punch two holes in the back and then lace the ribbon through them and tie it in the front. I couldn't get the ribbon to stay where I wanted it so I punched two more holes in the front of the box and then tied the ribbon through all four holes. I like how this works out because it really holds the box shut.

All supplies are SU's: Cameo Coral, Certainly Celery, Apricot Appeal, corner rounder, white embossing powder, white gel pen, Bold Butterfly, In Any Event, & Little Pieces
