Scrapbook Thursday
Family pictures…… sometimes don’t go as planned. Sometimes they go great. Usually in my family, I have to bribe my kids so they will smile for me and that doesn’t always work.

Whatever Wednesday: Shirt Redo

Tutorial Tuesday: Pencil Box
School started today!!!! I don’t know where the summer went. Like always, it just flew by. When I was getting my son’s school supplies, I looked at all of the different options of pencil boxes. There were the cheap ones and then themed ones that were three times as much. So I got the plain…
