We started our POND themed unit for the month of August.  My friend got me hooked on countingcoconuts.blogspot.com.  Love the ideas!  We picked up a huge assortment of library books about ponds, fish, ducks, etc...  I have found some great deals at the Dollar store.  One of them, being these packets of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and sight words.  The middle picture is our take on the sensory tub.  Marek has already listen to three books on cd today.  It is a nice alternative to tv or computer.  :)

These are two projects I have been working on for our Homeschool co-op and for our own needs at home.  Thanks! to Counting Coconuts.blogspot.com for her great ideas!

These are some cute tags I made as my baby announcements. I used the Tim Holtz Distress Inks and stamp set called "Spring Sprung".

Had a very creative day last Sunday and got to meet Tim Holtz!

This is my version of the project with the canvas that Tim Holtz demoed on his blog this past week.

Just thought I would show you my little area where I stamp and scrap. It happens to be our homeschool room, too.

This is a mini mister organizer that I got from my local scrapbook store and embellished with crackle paint, bling, and Tim Holtz fragments. It is just plain wood and you can decorate it what ever way you want.

Here is a video of some great buys I found at Tuesday Morning and Biglots.

This is the mini album I just made for my sister. It was our trip to Florida. I can not wait to finish it up and sent it to her!

I am loving this new set!!!!! Bella Blossoms!! Pink Pirouette!! & Parisian Summer !!

This is a card I made for my sister-in-law (brother-in-law,too!). She just found out she is pregnant! Congrats! to them! It is made with the She's All That SU! set.

Here are some name frames I did for the kids. They turned out cute! Thanks for the idea! Julie! The frames were bought at the dollar store.

Here is a birthday card I just made for my brother-in-law. I don't have too many masculine stamps, but this one turned out pretty good!

I made this card for a birthday party we are going to this weekend. I bought a nice piece of pottery for the gift. You can't tell but I used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots at the top of the card. Love those!! The stamp set is Tart & Tangy and the paper, Summer Picnic. All, Stampin' UP!

This is a card made with the stamp set, "She's All That". Very cute set!

This is a birthday card I made for my niece's daughter, Corinne. It was stamped with the set called "Favorite Teddy Bear".

This is a recipe book that I made for my good friend for her birthday. I used SU ON BOARD materials and "Summer Picnic" Designer Paper. The cherries are from the stamp set Tart & Tangy. I think it turned out cute! I have a nice present to go with it, but I won't reveal that, just in case! Happy 37th Birthday!

These are some chocolate bars I covered with designer paper and ribbon. The stamp set I used is called "True Friend". These are for Athena's helpers at VBS this week.

This is a cute little jar I covered with designer paper from the mini catalog. The paper is called Summer Picnic. I also used a Die-cut bloom in Bashful Blue and some Real Red ribbon.
