Creative Corner

My mom and I have been making clipboards for friends and family for the last couple of months, so I have decided to show off the most recent ones. It is really fun to do, although my measuring skills are not that great, and spending the time with my Marmee is the best! We laugh and talk and laugh some more...it's what we do best!!! I know that the memories we make on these Saturdays spent crafting are ones that I will remember for a very long time!

These are not all of the ones that we have made but the only ones that I have pictures of. I will do better in the future to take pictures! :)

UPDATE:

I recently made a door hanger for Deanna's "rock star" themed classroom...I love how it turned out! I can't wait to make one for my very own classroom next year!!! :)

Oh slap...I'm addicted!

I remember when my mom took my brother and me to TCBY to get a treat when we were young...oh the sweet memories! My roomie has discovered a newly opened treat place and my love for frozen yogurt has reemerged. Now we can't get enough of Tappy's Yogurt around my house...oh, the addiction has begun and this dreadfully hot weather is not helping. ;)

Daniella and me getting ready to
choose from all of the tasty flavors.


Enjoying some yogurt!


Daniella and Deanna are
enjoying some of the goodness!

I have decided that this entry will be about last weekend because it seems more like one quick day! Deanna, Kristy, and I traveled to Mississippi and Alabama for some fun with their families.

i loved the smell of
the bbq at the awesome non-truck stop (Okay, it was really a truck stop but it thankfully had none of the usual qualities associated with truck stops!)
*
i loved the sound of
Kristy: "that's a lawsuit waiting to happen"
This comment was in regard to the misunderstanding that a sign was posted that only allowed boys to use a restroom in a store. Actually, there was simply a mix-up with the doors which was due to sleep deprivation.
"Employees Only": The real message.

YOGURT MOUNTAIN in Bama...thanks Dea, now I can't wait to go back ;)

*

i loved the sight of
the funny sayings on the Southern Belle t-shirts
