~School Lunch Notes From Mom~

Good morning my friends,

I think almost everyone is headed back to school

in the next couple weeks.

I was trying to think of fun school projects with the

new Geek Is Chic line from Imaginisce, and I came up with

these little "Lunch Love Notes" for the lunch boxes.

Now don't pass out, I actually stamped LOL

Can you believe it??

I also pressed my hand into it and inked the white paper with

my palm like 6 times and re made them over and over LOL

I have figured out I need to use INSTANT dry ink or heat set every

in before I go on to the next because it gets messy! LOL

I stitched up the sides of the envelope for the notes.

I really had fun with this line.

~Crafty Sad Mom Story & New School Project!~

Good morning all my crafty friends!

I have a story for you today to go along with my brand new project!

I created this "Chalkboard" composition notebook with the

brand new "Geek Is Chic" line from Imaginisce and some PLAID

Chalkboard paint, thinking it would be a fun project.

I never expected my boys to even glance at it, but I did show it to

my 9 year old and he smiled as I thought..."well mom that is as good as

it gets, your officially old, no one cares" LOL

But then he told my 15 yr old and my son came up and told me it was

so cool and asked if he could have it for school!

He said he loved it etc...etc....etc....

I should have known it was too good to be true.

I happily and foolishly gave it to him and a piece of chalk, thinking

he would use it at school or home for fun.

Hey I might not be so old after all right??

I was totally wrong...2 days later I asked him to bring it to me

because I wanted to take another photo before he used it for school.

Oh he brought it to me alright....it was torn to bits and everything was torn off,

except the chalkboard part of it. I was shocked, I honestly thought he

liked it. Dumb mom moment for sure!

He said "All that crap was stupid mom so I tore it off I

only wanted it for the chalkboard!"

Ok I admit it, I cried...it really hurt my feelings...

SO all my blog friends....next time I make a project PLEASE

remind me not to give it to my kids, give it to someone who

will love it and not tear it up! :/

I still love the project and the line though! :)

Just not really loving on my kid right now. haha
