Back to School

Today was my son's first day of school.  (3rd grade...really??)  In keeping with the tradition I've started when I made them these mini mailboxes, I made a little 3 x 3 card to tuck in there with a little note.  I added a few other things in there too!  He was soo ready to go back to school but am I??  I think what else has been on my mind lately is that my daughter will be joining him at school next year for kindergarten!  So, I have one year left with her before she goes out into the "world". 

Here are some of the pics that "didn't turn out" and those that I love. 

Can you say smile?

Stop Mom!!

This one is my fav! (it was the last one!)

                

Have a great first day of 3rd grade Brett!  I love you! 

143, Mom

July 2010 Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!

It's blog hop time!  Papertrey Blog Hop time that is!!  Boy am I late to this party but I just couldn't let a Blog Hop go by without participating!  I have been on call this weekend and had to work 12+ hours today thus not getting my hop card done or posted.  So, I get home and it's late but I had to play along! 

So this month was all about using those office supplies!  I didn't have much time to think this over tonight but this is what I came up with! 

So, the one thing for this challenge that I knew that I wanted to use was my file folder Coluzzle template!  I had to dig it out from my drawer cause I haven't used it in AGES!! 

Have a great evening blog hopping and thanks so much for stopping by!
