Just a few pictures of the completed bulletin board.
First, the big picture.
Here's one of just my artwork. I thought teacher lounge... lounge, fireplace, get it??
I snapped this one in my room before going to the school.
More close ups...
I originally bought these light strings for my snowman ornaments.
This wreath, took me two hours to put together using one of Martha Stewart new Christmas punches and a glue pen. In case you don't already know, you can use Michaels' coupons on all Martha supplies now. I definitely did. The base for the wreath was made by cutting a circle frame (with the Coluzzle) from one sheet of green paper. I think this wreath is around 4 inches... maybe? I punched another full 12 x 12 sheet of same paper. I also used a few punches of a slightly lighter green hoping to create some variations. The red poinsettia is a glittery pick that I cut apart and and hot glued to the wreath. The center ornaments are Jolees from a Christmas sheet of presents or packages.. I ended up replacing the center with a Mary Engelbreit 3D sticker with an elf and the words Christmas Joy.
This second board only got coordinating computer generated signs.
On a personal note. I can't believe I ran out of laundry soap. I wash everyday! Anyway, I went to Walmart after putting this up at school, so I need to go and throw in a load. I've got a lot of cleaning and cooking to do before Thanksgiving. It's overwhelming actually. But, I'm excited about the holiday. I'm happy that my girls are coming home. Tomorrow I go to pick up the freshman and the older one comes home on Tuesday. Yippee!!

ETA: In my spare time, I've been working on some Christmas images. Hopefully I'll be able to turn them into cards before long. I've decided to celebrate 200 posts and 2 years of blogging on Tuesday morning. Come back if you can for the celebration! I might even finish up one of my fall cards by then... I couldn't get any further behind... lol.
