I had a blast planning with a chalkboard theme and some silliness thrown in on the side. My friend Janice volunteered her talents to monogram gorgeous tote bags for everyone. I filled them with a paper pack, 2 make and take projects, mini- notepad, giant wooden clothespin, ribbon pack, and of course CHOCOLATE!! The table was set with party favors- giant sun glasses and candy bracelet, with a cup of trail mix to start the day. 
I decorated the kitchen island with a giant mossy mushroom and greenery on a burlap runner. Of course I had to add a little bling for the "Divas"! I made a quick banner for the mantle that said "Scrap Divas" out of a black chalkboard paper banner. I used 3 layers on top of each banner piece - a flattened aqua cupcake holder, a small doily, and a glittered letter. 
We made a layout with stitching on it (a first for most of us!) and a cute box with 4 notecards inside for our make and takes. Stay tuned for pics of those with directions! Thanks for checking in! Enjoy these last days of summer!Lynda
