Making Monday #52

Happy Monday sweet friends! So glad y'all have stopped by, I know y'all have been busy and are getting even busier. So it means a lot that you still take the time to swing by and hang out for a bit! 

This is a party where you can find fun new creative ideas and tasty recipes shared by amazingly talented people. Every Monday bloggers stop by to link up their posts and share with all you party goers. By joining in {both bloggers and non-bloggers} you will discover new blogs, be inspired to make something new, try a yummy new recipe, and most importantly make new friends!

This year has already gone so fast! I can't get over the fact that school is here. Somedays I wish I was still in school. I really miss the chance to meet new friends and to feel so productive every day. Man, I wish I could start my masters ASAP! But seriously, there is something fabulous about brand new pencils and notebooks. I can't send you all a bouquet of newly-sharpened pencils {<--- name that movie!}, so how about a giveaway instead? You can enter to win $50 worth of handmade goodies to help you prep for the new school year!


  
The start of a new school year is kinda like January 1st.
