Blog Swap With Ginger

We are so excited to share a new friend of ours with you today!  She's super sweet--absolutely gorgeous--and makes rad crafts!  In fact she's doing a back to school month that just started this week on her blog.  So check her out--you won't be sorry!

Hi!  I'm Ginger, & I blog over at Ginger Snap Crafts. 

I'm so excited to be over here visiting today. 

I love doing blog swaps.  It's so fun "meeting" new friends. 

So don't be shy!  Make sure you hop over to my blog today

to see what Juliana & Becky are sharing & don't forget to say hi!

 

 

This me & my beautiful girls!  I also have a handsome husband & 3 rough & tumble boys! 

{I love my family!} I've been blogging for about 4 years, and I just recently started my own craft blog. 

Our family blog was getting a little too crafty!  I'm really having a lot of fun with it! :)

My kiddos started school last week.  So I've had back to school on the brain A LOT!

Today I'd thought it would be fun to share with you this cute & easy back to school teacher gift!

This pencil holder is personalized with

our school colors, name & mascot!

{Use your imagination to come up with something that fits your school.}

Here's how I made ours:

1. Cut a two x four into 7 inch blocks.

2. Had the hubby drill some pencil sized holes along the top!

{Try to make sure they are all the same depth, so your pencils will be even.}

3. Painted the blocks black.

{I love this brand of paint!  It's the best!}

4. Applied my vinyl lettering.

Then the overlay.

5. Tied a bow around the top.

6. Stuck in my pencils.

 {How easy is that?}

All done!

I'll be sharing this & other fun back to school ideas

all September long over on my blog, Ginger Snap Crafts.

{I'll even have a link party open all month long

so YOU can share your back to school ideas.}

So come on over & follow along.  It will be fun! :)

Thanks so much for having me over, ladies. :)

{I really enjoyed it!}
