Have Been Creatin, Just Not Postin

Well, just by chance that you've happened by my blog and think that I haven't been taking time to create, it's not true! I've just been a loser when it comes to posting, plus my camera is broke again. Here's a few things that I've accomplished so far this summer and the sites where you can see my idea inspiration. The first two sites are two of my new favorites.
- Scrappy Clutch
- Buttercup Bag (This was so easy to make and it's a FREE pattern. I am going to pay for it to get the bigger version though)
- Fabric Flowers
- Pillowcase Dresses (These aren't the exact directions that I used, but pretty close minus the elastic. I just used ribbon like a drawstring)
- Busy Pads
- Invites to my sister's baby shower
- Invites to another baby shower
- Wands and crowns for my daughter's birthday
- lots of SMART Board lessons for my district

That's so far. I'm blessed to be a teacher so I can do a little more in the summer. My next round of fun includes...
- party favors for two baby showers
- more purses
- whatever else I see on the web that I think I have to make

Even if you don't have tons of time, take time to create. I think handmade shows that you care about someone and for the most part creating is a great stress reliever. Recipes, paper crafts, sewing, whatever your craft, just take time.

Hugs,
