Of course, Tyler’s teacher wanted a composition book that could only be found at a store across town. It wouldn’t have been so bad if I hadn’t checked four local stores first. anyway, i got the composition book and couldn’t resist altering it with school supplies.packing tape and stamps. i can’t take credit for the idea. It’s a scraplift of one done at my the LSS where I work, Gemstone and Bead Imports. The original was created by Angela and Amanda. In fact, the handwriting on Tyler’s is all Amanda. Of course, since I did one for Tyler I had to also decorate Madison’s.
I used alcohol inks on the first one. I didn’t really like how they turned out so I ommitted them on the second.
New at the store: We just got the new Bling boy and girl line. I am so in love with it all
UTEE-it’s not new but angela’s been making some cool pendants with it. I think we just got pewter findings to pour the utee into to make super cool pieces.
I had a fun day at work today. Crazy but fun. Kendra did an amazing job of teaching a huge crochet clinic with 9 attendees. Most were scrappers so it was fun to watch them get outside of their comfort zone and create beautiful pieces. Kendra was supposed to take a pic of everyone in their completed masterpieces. Hopefully she’ll send me a copy. I love busy days where the time seems to fly by. Unfortunately i wasn’t able to hang out until everyone was finished. had to run to the post office to get myself and the kids passports. We are thinking of taking a cruise in November and wanted to be ready just in case.
Those look great! I’m waiting to read the follow entry to this, when T & M bring them home saying that the teacher told them they had to be plain, lol.
