Washi Tape Newbie and Crafty Linky Party!

Greeting everybody! Did you know that there is something called "Washi Tape" that is great for crafts? I think most everyone but me knew about this nifty item! Once again, late to the party! Well, I saw some on TV the other day and decided to give it a try. I ordered a set that has various colors in it, it looks like fun. While I am waiting for it to arrive in the mail, I have to know, "What do I do with it?" 

Have you ever used Washi Tape for any kind of craft or project?

Here is one idea I found from LittleLucyLu.com

I think it would be cute for ink pen storage on my desk.

  Show me your idea . . .

So then I thought, lets have a Crafty Linky Party! 

If you have a craft you love either with or without Washi Tape then come on and link up. It will be fun. :)

Here's what you need to know:

1. Share a favorite craft idea. It can be school or non school related. It can be a description or a photo, original or an idea you've seen somewhere else and think looks interesting, and hope to try one day.

2. Link up below.

3. I have included a graphic for you to use in your post, so that others can find their way over here to join in.

4. One person will be chosen by Random Number Generator at the end of the Linky Party to win 1 set of clip art, of your choice from Melonheadz Illustrating.

Link up below! Yay!

Summer Project/Summer Fun Linky Party . . .Updated with instructions and more detail-sorry!

Hello everybody! It is Wednesday Thursday. I hope it was a good day for all. We get out of school for the summer on the Friday before Memorial Day. How about you?

  I am a list maker so I am starting to think about the things I need to accomplish over the summer. I know we all have a long list! LOL.

 It gave me the idea to have a linky party so that we can share something from our summer project list and summer fun list. If you teach year round, and are teaching during the summer then share what your lists entail for when you are off track. How about it? Link up and join in  :)

Here's what to do:

I have included the graphic below for you to use in your blog. Link up at the bottom of this post, write about your Summer Project/Summer Fun on your blog with a link back to this post so that others can join in the Linky Party also. :)

Here's mine: (edited and better detail added because I am not in the middle of watching American Idol and because I realized that what I put for my summer project, I will have done before school gets out. )

Summer Project: 

 1. Delve deeper into the Common Core.

 2. Work on some things for my Teacher's Notebook store. 
  
3. Wash down the walls and baseboards in our home.

4. Lose 30 pounds.

Summer Fun: 

1. Going to San Francisco with my husband and son. (who will be home from college for the summer!) 

2. Going somewhere (yet to be determined-any ideas?) with my husband to celebrate his retirement.

3. Starting an ETSY business with my husband.
 (stay tuned for more info . . .)
