My Rock Star & Twinkle Toes

Hey there all my crafts friends, I hope you're having a great week so far.. Well, this is my son's first full week of school :0(.. Our school sent home a note asking us to purchase totes instead of bringing bag packs and they also said to feel free to decorate the tote if we would like too :0).. So, as soon as I read that I was getting my cartridges out and the brain storming began.. I should my son all the different images he could put on his bag and he chose a guitar.. He always tells us that his a Rock Star so we went with a Rock Star theme.. He was so proud of his bag thathe had to show his teacher as soon as he saw her{proud mommy moment :0) }.. Well, my daughter is 2 (but she thinks her is just a big a her brother) and I didn't want her to feel left out so I made her a tote as well.. We just recently enrolled her in dance classes so I decided to make her a ballet themed tote.. Totally girlie of coarse with lots of bling a fluff :0)
