Covered Notebooks

Its been rather quiet on the crafting front these days - what with my big baby boy starting prep and all the new routines and driving and drop offs and lunch making and washing and picking up school shoes and school bags and socks and hats and shorts and shirts!!!! I am EXHAUSTED after only ONE WEEK of school drop offs - how do you mother's do it for YEARS and YEARS!!!!! I'm sure I'll get into the groove soon enough, but it certainly has been a bit of a shock to the system! :)

Anyway - I've just been assigned to teach a class of young women ages 12-17 at church on Sunday's and it was my first one today! And to go along with my lesson topic I made these cute little covered notebooks for each of them. My very first set of covered notebooks - they were definitley fun to make once - just next time I would decide to make them a little earlier in the week! ;)

I've used the same design on all of them - just varied the colours. They're just exercise books with those plastic covers on them - what a difference from your usual school exercise book hey! :)

The worst part about the whole project was running out those damn letters!!!! Having to run them through the Big Shot one by one definitley got tedious - especially when I was on the home run and realised I was missing 3 y's and 2 r's and had to get the Big Shot out again! hehehehhe. Well worth the effort in the end, and I hope the girls really liked them...

And just because I can I'm including a photo of my little Big School Boy! He was so excited on his first day - I was a MESS, but am slowly recovering! hehehehe. If you want to read a little more about our first day you can read about it at this blog - http://www.athomewiththefrancisfamily.blogspot.com/ .

Thanks so much for stopping by - hopefully Lisa or I will have some more inspiring craft soon!
