and I have mixed feelings about this whole back to school season. A part of me is glad that our lives will soon be on more of a schedule. But with sending a daughter off to college the other part of me is sad. I can't even express how much I miss her already and she's only been there a few weeks...
School time is also a time that I loved because of making treats and favors for the kids throughout the school year. Although with Zach entering high school this year, I don't think he wants mom showing up with treat bags anymore, but those college kids don't mind at all!
So since this weekend I knew we were going up to see Chelsea and Ben at college I wanted to take something up for them besides the usual necessities they ask for. Chelsea loves granola and fiber one bars and Ben loves sweets. I made a treat basket for Chelsea using the papers from my September kit and a treat box for Ben using the papers and box from the September project kit.

Love the idea. You are such a good mom and a talented one too! Love that you still take time to make something special for the kids...(I guess they will always be OUR KIDS...no matter how old they get)!!!

Awesome treats! I want one! I used to love taking decorated cupcakes with little erasers on top to my classmates in Elementary school. I mentioned it casually one year to my mom while I was in high school. She remembered it the next year and made me over 4 dozen cupcakes to take to my first class on my birthday which just happened to be my gym class. They LOVED it! And such a great memory of my mom. Thanks for reminding me of it! Now I better scrap it before I forget! ;)
you are the sweetest. i'll die when my oldest leaves home.
Awww...that is such a wonderful idea. I'm sure they love the treats. I also have mixed emotions with the start of school. It is a reminder of how life changes. I'm sure I will be a basket case when our DD goes off to college in a couple of years!
