I should be sleeping...

But I can't, on account of the fact that I can't breathe through my nose..on account of the fact that I have no longer dodged the head cold bullet.  I should never have said it out loud.  I don't really feel bad but my nose is just completely stopped up...and alternately super runny without warning.  Bizarre!

So since I can't really sleep I have made great use of my time this evening.  Brooke finished her valentines yesterday but I had promised to make her some teacher gifts and hadn't gotten around to it...so why not at midnight.  I made the teachers Post It Note holders..... 

Aren't they cute.  I used a wheat thins box since it is sturdy, yet thin cardboard and cut it up into 3x4 sections...one for the front and one for the back.  Covered them with pretty paper...created a word document to print out the sweet little notes tag...circle cut that and attached to a scalloped circle. Then I bound them with my Bind It All machine.  Then stamped the From Brooke on the tag.  It seems involved but seriously really quick and easy.  I popped in some mini m&m's and kisses and tied it all up in a bag with some cute ribbon.  I LOVE doing this stuff.  Such fun.   

It is so nice to have so many supplies and especially to have a dedicated space for all my stuff. Thank you to Charlie for being totally on board with making the "formal" dining room in this house into an office. It's a lovely space to hang out in at midnight!!
