Moments of Craftiness

I've had a few moments of craftiness this summer.  First I made a sign for my classroom.  I really like it.  Look here to see a picture.  It then inspired me to make a few more.  I made them the old fashioned way without any fancy tools.  We're talkin' ruler, pencil, scissors, glue, and Mod Podge.  

This first one was for my cousin Laurie who teaches senior AP Lit.   I love the message her kids take with them when they leave her room.
This next one was for my Aunt Susie.  It matches her office at the church.  I love her message too, especially since any woman can be the woman God is with.  
Lastly, I made this one for my best friend who will be the new secretary at my school this year.  This is for her office.  (Honestly, I might make her a different one.  Not sure I love it.)

Once school starts I'm doubtful that I'll be in the sign making business for a while.  It's been fun though.  Thanks Tara for letting me link up.

    1. Lori, I have my crafty moments. If I have to write something out, I'm good to go. Other types of crafts might be a problem!
