I really wanted to use the song ‘Its the Most Wonderful Time of the Year’ but my daughter says its not right for me to be so cheerful about school starting up again. Little does she realize that mom’s across the nation feel just as giddy as I do right now!

Being the sweet craft mom that I am, I created this memory board for her based on a version she had seen in a magazine. This version reflects her personality more and is also a more ‘grown up’ version; because she’s a sophomore more now and is so much more mature than when she was a freshman. *giggles* I put up a calendar that has space to mark special days and notes; each month can be torn off to reveal the next one.

There’s a box to stash things…

A place to hang pictures or ideas…

Envelopes at the bottom to hold dance tickets and whatever else…

And a few spots to jot down extra special memories.

All of this was placed on one of those foam boards that can be picked up at Wally World. This board is a testament to how sturdy those things are; first I painted it with glittery fabric paint, then I spritzed it with black glimmer mist, stenciled on the corners and ballerina…all before adding a single embellishment!
