Sorry about that...

please ignore the previous post, it was definitely an ambien induced high post. I shouldnt be allowed near anything when I'm on ambien. I make bad decisions. but hey, at least I didnt call an ex telling him I needed him RIGHT NOW, again. or order thousands of dollars worth of clothes, again.


so if youve been to TJ Maxx or Marshalls lately youve probably seen the Tommy Hilfiger critter sheets. I found the pink and green (ok turquoise) ANCHOR ones!! heart be still! too bad they are only 200tc (um hello cardboard) and I could only find them in twin (my bed at school is full and none of the rooms at my house are twin) aka they are useless (I found full/queen on ebay for $60..but no way I'm paying that much for something that doesnt exactly match my room and thats for $20 at said stores). So clearly I bought them. I decided to be crafty (I am not crafty AT ALL) and make things with them for my room!
Well I made a trial memo board with pink and green paisley fabric I had laying around (one day I thought I would be crafty. clearly it sat in the Michael's bag for months)...and its GORGEOUS! and SO easy to make! So I'm going to make a ton more with the paisley fabric (I'm not ready to cut up the anchor sheets...yes I realize I have no other use for them...). And I'm definitely going to make them for my friends/temp littles/real little as soon as I get one! I'm so excited!

I tried to upload a picture of the memo board for forever but it just won't work. ugh.
All I did was take fabric, stretch it around a used canvas (ugly thing I painted last year when I decided to be crafty), and staple gun it to the back. Then staple gun on ribbon going diagonal (small board so I only needed 2 strips across). For bigger boards I got quilt batting, but the small one is fine without it. Easy project!

I saw the sheets on ebay too and was so tempted to buy them. I will look for them at Marshalls/TJ Maxx now. I love your memo board idea :)
