Crazy Cross Chic

This is what I feel like....crazy!! I am totally, 100% in love with making crosses BUT it does take a lot of time so sometimes I feel like I have sold myself. However, I wouldn't have it any other way. 

I am soo excited to introduce the game day crosses. If my camera wasn't dead & I could find my charger I would have those pics up for ya! Darn. Soon though, I promise!! If you are an avid college fan, you will love the game day crosses. We can customize your cross for your school! YAH!

I am a little biases but the Oklahoma State crosses look absolutely adorable!!!

They are small enough for dorm rooms or apartments too, which makes them even better!

For a great price of $20 you can have your game day cross made especially for YOU & your University.

Well, are you ready for this?!

The last few days have been so busy!!!

Get ready for a long post and lots of pics

Here is precious Sawyer Cate who I posted about a few weeks ago. I helped Cami set up her classroom Friday and just had to take a quick pic of her! I love her so much!

I have helped Cami the past three years decorate her kindergarten classroom. We have such a ball together. This year we didn't really go with a particular theme, rather just lots of colors! This is the word wall (on top) math and science words and word families. The writing center is in front of all the word families & math center is the shelving unit coming out from the wall. 

The neato red pocket folders are a new thing at Mardel's this year. Cami is using it for the kids center folders! Brilliant! She will be able to put their picture and name on their pocket! :0)

Here is calendar, my favorite part of kindergarten. I LOVE the new red border we put up this year! 

For the first week of school her students will focus on respecting each other. She is going to fill this board with the kids writing on how they will respect each other! 

The Mrs. Patz is going to be moved to another wall b/c this wall will be filled with the kid's About Me posters, which will stay up the entire year! They LOVE it! And believe it or not they turn out really cute b/c the parents do them as a scrapbook project! :0)

Here is the front of the classroom. Cami used to have her Word Wall on the white board. This year she is going to hand her clips and hang up great work from her students! :0)

Here are the computers & the reading center. The books are not up yet! We are going to write a quote about friends over the bright color paper! We need a good quote! The birthday board is in the back - that might change too!

Well that is the first draft of her classroom! I love it! What do you think??

I hung out with Caleb at the camp a couple of nights ago. It was mini-camp, where K-3rd graders can come for just one night at camp. It is a great transition for some kids. These pics are from the carnival!

Isn't this precious?? Caleb loves kids - one thing that makes me love him so much! He will be the best daddy one day! 

This little girl, B, has a big brother who makes fun of her bucked teeth. She said her calls her "Beaver Face" - Caleb made a point all night to let her know how pretty she was and gave her a new, nice nickname! He played on the obstacle course with her & was definitely showing her Christ's love!

Caleb and his brother, Tyler!

Me and babe - it was a hot and sticky night!

Yesterday, I went to lunch with my very best friend from high school and her mom and sister! 

We had a great time catching up and looking through her sister's wedding album! 

Codi had a beautiful wedding back in January!

Love you, Kels!

I also bought 3 new dresses while we were at lunch. They were all 50% off! One is down below in the Grease pics - the other I am wearing tonight to a wedding so you will see that one tomorrow! And the last one I will wear for recruitment so pics to come in August! They are all adorable!!!!

-------

Last night, I did the most fun thing I have done in awhile! First, we went to eat itialian food at Magianno's!! It was DELISH! Then we went to watch Grease "The Sing Along"! Oh my gosh, if you get a chance & it is showing in a theatre near you, you should totally get a group of girls and go!

We had a ball! 

Me, Cami & Brenda

The whole group! :0)

Well, I wasn't able to do Fabulous Finds Friday last week so here is all my findings from last week to move to school with me! HA! and don't laugh about the spray paint - it is for the crosses, remember!? AND I got all of those bottles on sale at Hob Lob! And the OSU plate you see? One of my dear friends bought that for me at a garage sale for 25 CENTS! Can you believe it? I bought a stand at Hob Lob and it will look so cute in my kitchen this year! :0)

Sorry I was MIA for a few days. I can't wait to catch up on all of your blogs!

Cross-Eyed Sisters blog will be up today! We will have a giveaway SOON!!!!

Fabulous Finds Friday (almost!)

Well, I'm a little early but it's late on this Thursday & nothing too spectacular happened today! 

(Except, the ice tea from Starbucks! Yumm)

I am; however, excited to share these Fabulous Finds!

Share with us your fabulous find! 

First of all, the oh so cute lime green pillow from World Market!

It looks soo darling with my multicolored quilt from Anthro! Love it!

Now, check these out!! The cutest plates EVER! And the best news is they are made out of Melamine so they are basically a really nice plastic! You can't even tell, right? Great for outside or just care free plates around the house! And the best part - they are only $6 each! Online only at Potterybarn.com :0)

I also bought a Merry GloRound this week from Michaels. I am wondering if you have one or have ever used one? Is it worth owning b/c I am thinking about returning it. Feedback please!

Well, those are my fab finds for the week! 

I am so excited -- Cami is having precious Sawyer Cate tomorrow!!!!!

Have a blessed day :0)

Catch-up..

Yesterday was a good day! I slept in until 11..can't remember the last time I slept in that long! I was up late and the day before was draining. My mimi, my dad's mom, is in the hospital waiting a triple bypass surgery. Please keep her & the doctors in your prayers! Thank you!

Friday morning Mom & I went to TJ Maxx! We love this store! I found some great buys - 1 dress, 1 skirt, 1 tank, pair of shoes & a super cute 'C' for my wall at school! I plan on painting the 'C' even though it would match my room at home perfectly. My room colors at school are bright and funky - mainly orange, deep pink, & lime green! My quilt is from Anthropology - I LOVE it!!!

On one of my blog friend's site I saw how she did an 'E' wall in her baby's nursery! I thought it was so cute so I am collecting C's this summer so I can make my very own 'C' wall! Can't wait! I will keep you updated on what C's I find throughout the summer! :0)

After our shopping, we went to Chick-fil-A so I could get my lunch for the second day in a row! Ha! I also had to get my ice cream that they forgot to give me the day before. I always order a kids meal chicken nugget, substitute fruit instead of fries & I trade in my toy for a cup of ice cream. Absolute delish! If you have never had their ice cream you are missing out on a small piece of heaven. Yummy!

I spent the afternoon with Caleb. We both took a nap and relaxed. He is working long weeks so come Friday he is pooped. And as you all know, I will take a nap anytime, anywhere! ;) Last night, we went on a date to Outback & watched Shutter Island. I didn't like it. I had heard great reviews but I wasn't a fan. Too hard for me to follow or something I guess!? Doesn't help that Caleb had zero interest! ha!

Side note: At dinner a girl in front of us was talking about her wedding. Her voice was extremely high & I couldn't help but listen to what she was saying. She was explaining to whoever she was with the details about her big day. She talked about the bridesmaids dress color, flower arrangements, etc... and then she started describing her dress. She said it is RED! Okay..is it just me or is that just a big no no? Or am I way to traditional? I mean I know girls are adding their own flavor to their wedding but a red dress? Let me know if that strikes you has surprising or am I just living in the dark ages?!?

I plan to see my Nanny today and go to Dallas to visit my Mimi in the hospital. Caleb and I are going to our good friends parent's 25th Anniversary Party tonight. They are renewing their vows, mexican food, dancing, and fun! I am excited...pics to come!!

Hope you have a relaxing Saturday! :0)
