Printable Book Plates – Kids Fall Feathers Fashion – Preschool Parent-Teacher Tips

Classes at MCAD start Monday, and I promise you – particularly any random student who may be reading this – that I will be ready. Just barely. (so we can guess what I’ll be doing this weekend.)

I have a weird fascination with campers, RV’s, and all kinds of small self-contained interiors (dollhouses …). So when I saw this Lego Volkswagen Camper Van, I got a little antsy. I seriously have to wait until October? Found via Handmade Charlotte and FamilyStyle. At least I’ll have time to save up my $120.
