In addition to 4 HUGE loads of laundry, today was craft day. I have been working on this bulletin board for-e-ver! Amy and I went to buy the fabric and stuff weeks ago...but before we knew it, I went out of town and she had a baby! Crap, I'm on my own!
Nevermind! I'd like to introduce you to my new craft buddy! 
Surprise! It's Sam!
Surprise! It's Sam!I think the bulletin board turned out really cute! It's hard to see, but the dots on the ribbons are cute little pink letters.
Now that we take a closer look...you can see my gigantic mistake... 
The problem? The frame I bought (a week ago) is 24" x 36" - and the actual bulletin board is 23" x 35"...how annoying and frustrating! Did I mention I had been to Hobby Lobby 3 different times to get the 24" x 36" cork board. I called ahead this last time and the gal assured me that "there are tons!" When I got there (an hour later) there were none. ARGGH! Instead, there were a bunch of 23" x 35" ones (and a damaged one for only $7.79)...I figured with the batting and fabric, I would be fine...nope! Perfectionists should NEVER do crafts! People like me (and Blake) just like to pay for things and whine about about crappy they are.

I think it's so cute Sam loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse already :-)!Ella only has school Tues and Thurs, so she'll probably have to crash the party too, but she loves the show and will be so excited :-)!
The bulletin board turned out really cute by the way!
