Problem Solved!

  This coming weekend Joey will be going with his Sophomore Civics/Economics Class to Jamestown, Va.  He is scaredly excited.
  Anyways, he has to have a luggage tag on his bags. I have one luggage tag that I used when I went on the cruise 2 years ago that I picked up when we were at OBX for Christmas.  I didn't want to go purchase something that is going to be eventually lost and/or destroyed.  I set my mind to work to think of something that could be used as a luggage tag. My eyeballs landed on an envelope of empty gift cards. Who knows why we keep them, but alas, we do.
  So, this is what I did:

I cut a scrap of paper off the same size of the gift card.

I wrote the information that was required by his teacher on his label then I used some scrapbook picture adhesive squares to attach the label to the gift card.

Using clear packing tape, I secured the tag to the back of the card .I then used the hole punch to make a hole in the card.

Using the cord from my luggage tag, I attached Joey's to his suitcase.

Now, to help him pack!

Zoo Trip

We became Members of the NC Zoo Society several weeks ago on our recent visit.  We had so much fun!!!  Even though the polar bear exhibit is closed for renovation and the giraffes were not out we had a blast.  The dinosaur exhibit had Joey practically drooling.  We will be visiting more in the time to come as since we are now members of the zoo society, we get in FREE for a year. Not to mention the other 150 places in the US that we can get into for free during our membership.  We have a standing plan to go back on a warm day so Em can see the giraffes and we can do the Giraffe Deck.  

Enjoy our pics and take a trip to your NC Zoo!!!
