Weekend Project

After a packed Saturday morning I decided to spend the evening making something cute and fun. The end result was this darling Lilly clipboard! I am SO pleased with how it turned out and might just even have to open a little etsy boutique with clipboards some other small items that would all be under $15. I plan to tie a preppy ribbon on the top of the clipboard to add a little something more to it. So, do you think my Saturday project was a success?!

I was thinking this would be a great clipboard to use as a template for folding sweaters and shirts..I Feel SPRING cleaning in the air. This is so doable - thanks for sharing.

Darling! You could even attach one of your Sharpies on a long, thin grosgrain ribbon. Color and Lilly are so inspirational. :)
