So those of you that know me- know that the last few weeks I have been busy running the Book Fair at my kids school. I wanted to show you some of the thank you gifts I made.
These are book marks that we put in a goodie bag with a bag of tea and some chocolate for the volunteers that came in to help at the Book Fair.
These are the stationary holders that I made and personalized for my two co-chairs and our librarian.
I do have to be honest and admit- I was a little disappointed in how they turned out. I used the Martha Stewart 16x16 colossal paper from Michael's. I needed this purple to match the purple stationary. So I had to buy the last four sheets of this. One was extremely faded on the bottom. (However I knew you would never be able to tell because how I was folding up the bottom half.)
After making them- I was so upset that really the quality, feel and look of the paper was really not much better than construction paper. I felt it looked as though I had went out and bought a Mead folder- when in fact I took the time to make these by hand. I don't complain often about product- unless I really hate it. I have always been so happy with Martha product- this paper is not the case. I do have to say the purple patterned paper above is also the 16x16- and it was fine to work with. It is just the solid paper that I am talking about.
So with all that said- what product do you LOVE right now?
And what product do you HATE right now?
Come on share......I did!

Why do I blog?
I have never been one to keep a journal. I have never been able to write in a diary for more than a week! I have countless scrapbooks that still need to be journaled. I do this in hopes of becoming a better journalist. I do this to document everyday life. I do this so I don't have to scrapbook EVERY picture! I do this for me, our friends and family, & mostly the kids. One day they will have it all - because I took the time to document all the little things that REALLY do matter. Everyday life....all the little moments you & I can't remember because the memories are long gone.......
