Monday Made It & Monday Meet Up




Today I am linking up with TWO linkys!!  First I want to share with you what I made for my dad for Father's Day for Tara's Monday Made It.


This is my dad and oldest son from Oct. 2011.  They are cool dudes :)

I get my sense of humor from my dad, sometimes that is a good thing and sometimes not a good thing. :)  I saw a shirt on Pinterest that was perfect for my dad, but since I'm a procrastinator I didn't have time to order it.  So I did the next best thing, I made it!

I picked up a shirt from Hobby Lobby, used my Cricut, some old vinyl, and fabric paint.

I am also HORRIBLE at getting things into the mail, so his shirt is currently on my dinning room table waiting for me to put it in the mail...oops!

I think my dad would be more surprised if I actually mailed something out on time!



The second linky I am linking up with is The Teaching Tribune's Bloggin' Summer Series.  Today's post we are to write a letter to ourselves from the day we started our blogging and/or TpT journey.  I must admit, it was a bit emotional to write...a few tears of joy were shed. :)  Read my letter below to see why.


I look forward to reading what other bloggers wrote to themselves!  I actually liked this idea and I am thinking about using it as a beginning of the year activity for my teachers.  I think it would be fun to have them write a letter to themselves as a first year teacher or student teacher for my first year teachers.

  1. I love your father's day gift! I'm also terrible about sending things in the mail (my mom got her mother's day card 3 weeks late!) I always have the best of intentions - but it never quite works out:)
