Super Sick..

Hello Everyone, hope all you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with family and friends. I on the other hand have been extremely sick for the past 2 weeks. Miserably sick and I am sooo over it! Started with fever, headache, earache, body aches and as if that wasn't enough a sore throat as well. Couldn't get out of bed for 3 days. After a week of being sick I was in urgent care and diagnosed with Strep Throat (OUCH!). So I was given an antibiotic shot and a steroid shot. The strep throat is apparently so severe it's effecting my neck lymph nodes, so I can't move my neck. Had a second Dr's appointment because I haven't made any improvements. So, more antibiotics and pain killers. Hoping to get better ASAP!!! I can't enjoy the holiday season feeling this way. Just thought I would explain my absence. 

Although I did manage to get a project done =)

DIY Flashcards

I made these flash cards for my 4 year-old son who is currently in pre-school. They are fun and durable. 

I have collection on pinterest for a few of these printable flash cards. I used this site, thanks so much for these lovely cards. Follow the directions for printing and cutting the flash cards. You will have to cut a bit more from the sides so you can fit 2 cards side by side on a 5x7 self laminating pouch.

I purchased these pouches at the dollar store (SCORE!). They are 5x7 pouches for "laminating" your photos. 

First, glue 2 flash cards back to back. Follow the instructions provided with this pouch. Place 2 cards side by side. Once the "laminating" is done. Cut the 5x7 card down the center, between each card. Finish by rounding off any sharp edges. So now you have sturdy double sided flash cards. You can make 10 double sided flash cards for $1.00. This would also be prefect for Alphabet flash cards, one side with upper case lettering and the back side with lower case lettering. Enjoy!
