Back 2 School Blog Hop!!

Hi everyone!  Well school time is once upon us again and school shopping has begun and the groaning (at least of high school kids LOL) has begun and ringing of early morning alarm clocks ting-a-ling!  While the whooping of parents who are anxious to have “bored” kids back in school  and quiet houses begins again!!  So what better way for us to celebrate those First Day of School moments than with picture-taking and creating some treats for students & teachers!

The Magnolia-licious DT  is joined by August Guest Designer Chris Christensen and we have a

super-SCHOOLED-up-fun Blog Hop for you today! 

We hope you will hop along and then join us in the fun to win as well!

It’s a Sporty Kinda Day!!

Happy Monday everyone!  Today the Magnolia-licious DT has a super-sporty-fun 

Blog Hop for you all that is “All About Sports”!  

So everyone on the DT used a sporty Magnolia image or “made” an image fit into a sports theme.  I don’t know about you all but my kids play all kinds of sports and have friends that do the same…not to mention that are family is a football-hockey-baseball obsessed kind of family LOL!  So there is always a “sporty” kind of occasion that these projects the DT made could fit into.

So we hope you join us today and get inspired to make your own SPORTY project as well!  Thanks for hopping along!
