The hustle and bustle of school time

Can you believe that in another few weeks all the kiddles will be headed back to school with their backpacks in tow? My, has this summer flown by. Hopefully you've had time to cram in all the fun you can handle. If not—there's still a few days left!

But since the bell's so close to ringin', we'd like to start focusing on some A+ crafting projects that'll ease you back into the throws of school. Here's some especially fitting ideas for all you teachers out there. Hats off to you!

Here are a couple of awesome teacher's survival kits. The first one is created with the Cricut's Doodlecharms and Alphalicious cartridges. The second has Doodlecharms, Learning Curve, My Community, A Garden of Words and Base Camp. Whew. Looks like you've got everything you're going to need in these puppies: Click here and here for instructions on the Provo Craft web site.)
