Happy Wednesday!

Sorry no posts lately.. it's back to school season, here. We start back NEXT week.. I can't believe it! The summer just flew by. But, I'm *mostly* ready - I crave my routine and I miss my kids. I'm excited to use the the things I've been making and planning this summer.

There are so much inspiration on Pinterest and blogs. In fact, Tracy at Craft Junkie Too has had a month long back to school celebration. She LOTS of ideas from lunch box notes to treat bags to shopping lists and organization :) And guess what !!

I am the guest blogger today! Wahoo! I'm sharing my classroom birthday suggestions, tips and tricks ;) Whether you're a parent, teacher, or volunteer -- I hope you find my ideas helpful! This is what I made for my first graders for their birthdays:

Head over to Tracy's blog to read my entire post and much more! :)

Speaking of birthdays.. My cousin's little boy Gabe turned 5 this weekend (whatttt! That can't be..). Anyway, since he cares more about the present than my craftiness, I made this simple but cute card for him using the lion from Create a Critter. That's the challenge this week at Cricut Cardz... "Critter Cuties!" ;)

Head over to Cricut Cardz to check out the other "Critter Cuties" the design team created and link up your own :)

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great rest of the week.
