Short Lived Inspiration

So, today I saw this awesome post by Marie over at The Hands On Teacher.  She made this super cool clipboard with duct tape.  I was so inspired that I immediately went out to get the supplies to make my own!  I knew that I wanted polka dots, so I found this:

Cute, right??  Then I went to get a clipboard.  I looked...and looked...and looked.  No clipboards to be found anywhere in Target!  What?!?

I didn't have anymore time to shop because I had to come home to this guy:


So maybe tomorrow I'll venture somewhere else to get a clipboard.  Oh well.

P.S. ~ click on his picture to see more photos at my {severely neglected} photo blog.

  9. Super cute puppy. I always get so frustrated when I can't get everything I need to make something. My nemesis for that is always Walmart. Good luck on the clipboard hunt :)

  11. Hi Sara-

    I am in the process of redoing some old and ugly clipboards to fit my Harry Potter themed classroom. Once they are done I plan on posting the process (pinterest, decopage, and patience) along with the pictures on my blog. I can't wait to see what yours look like!

  13. Thanks for stopping by. I get clipboards from the Target dollar bin whenever they have them. Some of mine are looking worn though, so the duct tape would be a great fix!
