Where oh where did my little blog go?

I've disappeared from the blogging world and I'm not sure why. Things have been status quo lately, boring even, so I haven't had much to share. The girls are happy healthy and doing well, and we're enjoying having Lamar home more often. He's coaching 7th grade basketball right now and with no after-school practices, that gets him home around dinner time (or earlier) now!

Better Late to a Party than Not at All

I love a good party and have made quite a few things without my hubby. I am the handy one at home. Today, I'm going to show my clipboards that he definitely didn't help with. He'd probably rather I didn't do them at all since they do create a bit of a mess.

These started with my love and obsession with scrapbook paper and ribbon. I bought one from someone and decided I could do it too.

You need the following supplies:

• clipboard with U-shape clip (97 cents at Wal-mart)
• Ink/chalk/craft paint for the edges of the clipboard
• 12 x 12 scrapbook paper (2-3 different sheets per board)
• coordinating ribbons (3 or more different colors, textures and sizes looks best)
• Mod Podge - I use the Mod Podge as a glue and as a sealer.
• Cricut (if personalizing)

These make great teacher gifts!!

Happy New Year

It's hard to believe that it's 2010!

When I look back on the last 12 months, I can say that we had a good year. It started out hard with lots of uncertainty on the job front for Lamar, but God had a wonderful plan in store that included us finishing the year with a State Championship! It really was the perfect ending.

I didn't even think about it being the end of a decade, but Lamar and I have spent the entire decade together! Our first of many!

I know this year will be full of even more blessings for the Kirk Krew and I hope the same for you!
