My Busy Week

Last week was our spring Book Fair at school. This time around, my two Book Fair co-chairs and I decided to tackle the Spare Change contest along with the Book Fair. We actually held this the week before the book fair. The idea is that the kids bring in their "spare change" and at the end of the week we add up all of the different classes and the top classes get a gift certificate for a free book to the fair. 
Since the theme of our book fair was the Book Fair Diner, I used my cricut to cut out these ice cream scoops to show our progress all week. Every day we earned $100 in spare change, we added a scoop to our cone. If we made our goal of $1,000 for the week, we got to put the cherry on top. As you can see by the picture below, we made our goal!!! 

I cut all of the letters and the scallop border around the window out with my cricut too. And now that I'm looking at the picture, I can see that we forgot to put how much we collected for Free-For-All Friday. We were also setting up the book fair on Friday, so I think that got lost in all the other things going on by that time. Oh well! 

This spring fair went much smoother for us than the fall fair. The fall fair was the first one for the three of us and was a huge learning experience. We were like pros this time around! 

The picture below shows Spencer shopping with his class at the fair. The picture isn't the best, but it is the only one I have. 

I forgot to get a picture of Connor shopping. :-(


I spent pretty much all of last week at the school. So I haven't been able to do much creating lately. I hope to get back in the swing of things soon. I have some birthday cards to make for this month. Plus one of the message boards I visit is holding a Scrap Olympics this month. I already missed the first week of competition, but I'm hoping to enter a few events. Since I was the big loser in our family Olympics the boys held here last week, I'm hoping to redeem myself in the Scrap Olympics! 


Thanks for visiting me!
