church night. that's what happens on Wednesday. Howard picks the kids up-- and they get TACO BELL, or McD's or a picnic that I have packed--The kids play with friends and Howard has meetings. I usually am crafty on Wednesdays. not today. with the hoiday weekend, sick kids, school starting up again....I didn't create anything today. I am trying to get back into our regular routine. ( routines are good for me) Sophie missed school yesterday and part of today. When she went late, she happily, fell right into her routine! here is a LO of Sophie at "school" in classroom B!

2 days in a row??? ummmm hmmm.

gonna really try to be a blogger girl!

I am really into altered boxes. I have always love little boxes to put treasures in. I made this little box for Sophie (sick in the picutre...)
Here is an easy way to cover the boxes with ribbon....cover the area with regular adhesive. I used the 3L red scrapbook adhesive. add strips of ribbon to the top! soooo easy and such fun results. I got the pink box at the $ store! (yep. it cost $1 hehehehe!) I used scraps of old SR pp and my french twist ribbons....

Fun.
easy.
great end result!
