Framing it all up!

I was remembering back to my childhood this weekend and a flash of these decorative straw hats my mom used to make came into view. She used to put moss, fake flowers, and a bow on these hats. We had them on all the doors -- all over the house. Don't see much of these anymore, but they were so popular back in the late 80's.

In my nostalgia, I remembered their country feel and thinking of them made me think of home...which is always a good place to remember.

I began drawing and created some bows which eventually turned into these cute frames. I wanted to share with you so that you could make some "homemade" teaching materials that will bring back some memories for you too.

This bow frame preview is available at my teachers pay teachers store.

If you like them, I also have a full set with a variety of colors including a black and white bow set for worksheets.

Labor Day has passed, love bugs are swarming the air...which is so thick with humidity, it takes effort to breathe.  Nevertheless, here in the heart of Louisiana, I refuse to give in to the unending summer. I am searching for anything that will lead to Fall. I love the smells, the colors, the decorations. Fall has always been my favorite season.

I was so inspired that I created these fun fall colored Chevron backgrounds and they are a FREE download on my teacher pay teacher site.
