Super Duper Day!

This has been the best day. I got to go to an inservice at the school I'll be working at next year. Everyone is so nice. I tell ya, I'm as passionate about teaching as I am about scrapbooking. It is so awesome to be with other people who share your philosophy of teaching. Then I stopped by my LSSand the whole Love Elsie line was in. Well, now it's all at home with me. LOL! I had an hour before school got out so I made a quick layout!

Thank You!

Lovin' the Fresh line a little too much. I need to use my Vibe stuff too. I wish I could do better boy pages!

Another Bo Bunny project

Another Bo Bunny project for CMK this month.

Lucky Me!

To get to spend the day with this little character.

Meet Our New Baby!

Did you know we were expecting? Expecting this little one since she was just days old. Finally she got to come home yesterday. She's not really ours...dad won't allow pets, but grandma and grandpa (mostly grandpa) decided the kids needed a puppy, so they got one. Adorable isn't she? I'm not sure what the little guy is doing, but I love the picture. Yes, it says Crazy on his shirt.

Bottle Cap pencil cup and card

Here is what I finished today. Finally using up these bottle caps I used to think were SO COOL! Feels good to put them to use!

Saturday!

Finally Saturday! This was such a long week. I was so tired last night. Now, I have some time to myself and I'm trying to decide what needs to be done first. Laundry, cleaning, a little scrappin'? I'm anxiously awaiting some new Art Warehouse prototypes to play with. I think everyone is going to love the stuff that's coming out. I know I do! Maybe I'll have a scrappy post later if I get in gear.

I Did It!

I finally got a job. I'm going to be a 3rd/4th grade reading teacher. So totally happy. I couldn't imagine a better job! So, I can't have a post without a pic...here is my sweet girl. Love the look on her face.

Yummy Storage

I love my yummy new storage containers. I painted the lids to match my scrapbook room. They hold lots of treats! Sorry, I tilted the camera a little much with the top picture.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

Hope everyone had a Happy Happy Mother's Day yesterday. This is a little card I made with the Art Warehouse Fresh line and lots of ribbon.

That is....

so fake! She thinks she is the boss. I know she secretly loves it that I take her picture every- where she goes. Love my silly girl!

Smile....

It's Friday!!! Just a little lion card. It opens in the back where the circle is. Kind of silly, huh?

Crash!

I took this picture Monday night, but it just sums up their whole relation- ship. He is looking for someone to crash into and she is constantly jumping in his way and laughing about it. Yikes! I had to take them grocery shopping tonight and somehow managed to come out of 2 less marbles than I went in with, but somehow ended up with 2 packages of mini M&Ms someone snuck in the cart. Then the nightly homework battle began. I want to teach so badly, you would think I could reach my own child. Not at all. It's a good thing I don't use her for a reference on my application. She says I am telling her the wrong thing. I'm not a real teacher. Should I argue this point. Does she need a copy of my certificate? Or should I just pinch her head off right now? Just kidding. I love her. Children need to make meaning out of learning. She needs to connect it with something she knows and can relate to. I know all of this. I can help. It all goes out the window with your own child.

Bo Bunny

Bo Bunny is the design team sponsor for CMK this month. Here are my first two projects. Their rub ons and brads are my favorite. There is also a contest to win some Bo Bunny product, so if you have some Bo Bunny layouts lying around you should run over and upload them to the Bo Bunny contest gallery for a chance to win. Gotta love a chance at some free stuff!

It's Owl Good!

Love me some Funky t-shirts. My new fav! I really could've used a bigger size... I know, but this is all they had.

Art Warehouse/ Hampton Stamps!

Yummy Yummy stamps! I actually stamped in color instead of just black and brown. This was my challenge for CMK's NSD crop. All Art Warehouse Fresh stuff and Hampton/Limited Edition Stamps.

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

From my mess to yours!

NSD at CMK!

CMK is having an on-line crop for National Scrapbook Day. There will be challenges all day long and lots of prizes. Rebecca always gives away the best stuff! I am also giving away a Stamp RAK for my challenge...Elepahant Stampede. Come by and play! Hope to see you there!

Happy Birthday!!

Somebody around here had a birthday!! So happy I have this sweet girl. Even when she drives me bonkers.
