Back To School and Birthday Bash!

Hey, everyone!

Not only did Javan turn 3 yesterday (sob)...

...but my sweet baby girl started THIRD grade!

When we signed her up, I took a picture of her by the door of her new classroom. She is on the other side of the building now... the side I think of for BIG kids! Oh the waterworks are on! My goodness! I am so thankful that she has done so well in school, never had any major problems and her school work just seems to come so easy for her. She has been blessed with wonderful, caring teachers and I am so thankful for that! I am praying she has another wonderful school year!

I made a bag tag for her backpack. I wanted to make her something personalized and special just for her! She was blessed with a brand new back pack full of school supplies from our neighbor's church. They even gave Javan one!!! She loves the pink backpack!! I chose some black cardstock and cut it to fit the inside of the name badge. I printed her name, grade and who her teacher is on white cardstock then cut it out to layer onto the black. I took a retired stamp set from The Angel Company that I absolutely love and stamped it in Claret Palette Hybrid ink. Then I took my glue pen and added some Prisma Glitter from TAC. It is so sparkly and pretty! Then I added some black faux rhinestones and some ribbon to jazz it up a little. She likes it.

I raided my "Items To Alter" shelf and found a binder clip, two coasters, sticky notes, jumbo paper clip, and an RSVP pen. I used More Mimi designer paper (from The Angel Company) to decorate the post-it note holder, pen and bookmark. I love this double-sided paper!
I packaged it up for Kadesia to give her teacher on her first day of school. I hope you like these fun little projects! Have a great day!

Angel Hugs,
