Bad at Blogging; Good at Crafts

Wow.  I am really horrible at blogging. 

Anywhoo....here's what's up since my last post:

1. SCHOOL: School is nuts right now. We had our district FCCLA contest on Wednesday and until you live with or are a FACS teacher, you will really have no idea how crazy of a process that is. While other organizations and sports compete all year long (or for an extended period of time), FCCLA hosts 30+ contests all on one day.  It. is. crazy.  Buuut, my kids did great! I had eleven students competing in eight events. Ten of them did well enough to earn a spot at the state contest in April.  I am so proud of them all!

After Wednesday's big events, Thursday was Regional Scholar's Bowl and the team that I coach, well, co-coach, took first and they get to go to State too!  So, sayonara next Saturday.  We'll see ya on the flip side.

On top of that, Prom (which is becoming a four-letter-word to me) is right around the corner so it's time to start ordering, building, and planning for that. So if anyone has any great decorating tips, send them my way!

2. PROJECTS: I've made--count-em--THREE Pinterest projects this week!  (In all my free time--haha).

First...T-Shirt Scarf:




Second: Twine-Wrapped Letters:



Third: Ribbon-Flower Headband


I read a blog post the other day that was totally bashing Pinterest.  While it might seem silly or dumb, I was really offended.  I LOVE Pinterest.  I think it is so much fun and I don't care if it's silly! I have gotten some great craft ideas and recipes from the site. If you aren't on board with the whole Pinterest thing yet, here's a good article I found to help you get started. If you need an invitation, let me know and I'll send you one. I really like being able to keep ideas in one place and, I agree with this quote:

So all you Pinterest haters...back off. 


Welp, that's all I got. Have a great weekend!
