Our house is kind've quiet when back to school time comes around. Eilidh is in Savannah and lives there year round now, and Ewan has been in summer football and band practice almost all the vacation - so back to school is really just mom taxi at a different time ;)

And there's no 'Fall' here in Houston to inspire me - so I was a bit stuck a few weeks ago when I started to think about my projects.

For those not in the US, we have Marching Band during the Fall, although they start rehearsing in the summer holidays. As well as travelling to several competitions, the Band travels to all the School Football games and plays in the bleachers during the game and then do a Half-time show on the field. Our son Ewan plays trumpet in the band. Now - Cinco Ranch High School has a BIG band - we send off 8 school buses full of kids and a HUGE truck trailer each time they go anywhere!

A couple of weeks ago I had my first Chaperone session. AND MY FIRST EVER ride on an iconic yellow school bus!!!

I used that trip as inspiration to make a Thank You card for our bus drivers. And, with all the back packs getting thrown around as we got on and off buses I decided to make a little treat bag in the shape of a backpack.

Do you recognize all the shapes I used to assemble the bus? There's a list at the bottom of this post...but one I want to show you close up - I used the new Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing Folder for the tyres :)

For the back pack I used a Petite Cafe bag.

It isn't just your web page but most of therm.
