Can someone say “BACK TO SCHOOL”!!!……

“Look Dick, look Jane” it’s time for school to start. And if you listen closely you can hear the shouts from mom’s everywhere saying “YES!!!!”  Ok, maybe it’s just me shouting but, I’m READY!!  You know, the summer seems to go so quickly in some respects, but in other ways NOT FAST ENOUGH!

Here is one of our displays in the store with the Dick and Jane fabrics from Michael Miller. This is such a fun “back to school” line. It really “takes us back” doesn’t it? There are some commemorative books available too, if you look for them. I’m sure if you do a search on-line you can find all kinds of them.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I love all of my kids, but there are days when, I am more than ready for them to go back to school. I have a mental list of things that I wanted to do with them this summer that we never quite “got to”, but we did a lot of other things that weren’t planned. Most of the time that’s more fun anyway.

I’m sort of ready for a routine again, and earlier bedtimes. Not to mention the fact that it will be REALLY great to not get 25 phone calls a day at the studio, to settle some argument between them!  Did I mention that I’m REALLY ready to get the kids back in school? Sorry to all you teacher’s out there. Some of my best friends are teachers and I know they are not altogether ready to go back. So for them, I feel a little bad saying that….. just a little!

So true! When the kids go back to school, spend a little time on yourself. Take a day and do WHATEVER YOU WANT, and don’t feel a bit guilty about it!

That’s all for now!

Back to school... words that brought joy to me in the past. Those days are over though. Love the displays, what's the pattern for the large quilt hanging behind the display, that's darling!

Love you Tammy, happy back to school.
