Fly Away

I'm sorry that my blogging has been hit or miss lately.  With the holidays approaching, I have been busy at home and at work, and I'm just worn out.  It's a little tiring trying to keep 115 eleven-year olds calm during the 3 weeks of school between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Then, I come home to a 5-year old that is even more excited!  Whew!

Because of all of that, the project I'm sharing with you took me over a week to complete.  I would do a little work, then have to leave it for another time.  One of my friends at school is sending her daughter to Washington D.C. for Spring Break and giving her the tickets (or the money??) for a Christmas present.  Rather than just stick it in an envelope, she asked me to make her something.  So here's what I came up with:

I had the design in my head for quite awhile before I was able to start, and it turned out pretty much how I imagined.  Don't you love it when that happens. 

Here's the inside.  I had no idea what I was going to do in there, but I like it!

I'm giving it to her tomorrow.  I'm sure she thought I forgot already, but I didn't!!  I hope she likes it!



Thanks for looking!
