Upload trouble, Crafties, and a Johnny Rotten sighting...

So...We had a little computer trouble and I couldn't get pictures from my camera to the computer...ahhh, the joys of technology!!  Anyway...once I explained the dilema, the problem was  solved quickly by the 11278 Geek Squad!!  :)




These are the boxes I made to put the Day Care mom's Mother's Day gifties in...



...and theses are the gifties...Scrabble tile necklaces with photos and Swarovski birthstones...I even made the little dangly doo-dads...who knew I could use a head-pin and a jump ring?!?

I didn't make one for myself though...uuugghhh!!!!!!




Here's a cutesy box made from one of Lauren Meader's Timeless Templates...soooo simple and completely scraplifted!  I love that you can print out the template right onto your cardstock!  Brilliant!!



And it appears that Johnny Rotten or some other 80's Punk chucklehead has moved in!!




No...wait...it's just Connor!  It was crazy hair day at school today...Connor LOVES crazy hair day!!!  He wanted multi-color spikes like Johnny Napalm on Guitar Hero...but we just didn't have time...




I guess the red faux-hawk will have to do...man is it stiff...I'm afraid his hair might snap off!!  It's a good look for him though...I mean, we all know he's  a punk  :)  Cute though!!

Teacher Appreciation Prizes

I  didn't become an un-blogger again...just had a girl's trip to Las Vegas this weekend.  It's always nice to run away and  play without boys   :)  These are the gifties that I made for Connor to give to his teachers for Teacher Appreciation week.  I stamped some nugget wrappers.....




here is the front of the post it note holder...





and here is the back.




Here it is all packaged up...It will have a tag, but I just haven't gotten there quite yet...These will go to the PE coach, team teacher, music teacher...all the people who usually get forgotten...





Sorry for the crudy picture...I can never get anything with plastic or glass to photograph well   :(

Happy Thursday!!
