Happy Thanksgiving...

I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving with your family.

I've been on the computer most of the day. I've been looking online all week for ideas for literacy centers, ideas for the classroom, and so I've been doing a little whipping up on a website for my class. I don't know if I really will get it finished/online, but I did get quite a bit done today.

That's really all I know. My birthday tomorrow. I think I may go have a bite of ice-cream cake. :)

Christmas Houses...

Totally inspired by Mary @ Isabella's Closet I had to make a couple of these little houses. I have glitter everywhere on these houses. On the roofs, bases, the sides. (I love glitter!!!) On the green house I sponged ink on the bottom and drew bushes and on the back is a little crawling vine. On the pomegranate house, I used a big swirly stamp to decorate. I used a card I had made for inspiration on the pomegranate house.

I'll be posting more later. Thanks for the house ideas Mary! :)

a little belated...

I didn't get a chance to post my boo sign that I made for Halloween. I haven't gotten many things made lately, but I was proud of my little sign. I had the letters connected with jump-rings, but when I went to hang it up, it didn't hang straight, so I had to add a little support.

Now I'm thinking about my Christmas cards. And I need to get working on those asap! Maybe next week, since I have a whole week off for Thanksgiving.

Anyway - I'm watching a THS on Patrick Dempsy and then going to watch desperate housewives and brothers & sisters. all kinds of good things.

ooh - not paying attention to what I'm writing. Better just go watch...

Casting Crowns

All of my pictures came out pretty much blurry. I tried to get as close as I could to the front, and for general admin. I think I did pretty good. However, my camera didn't want to cooperate. So, you'll have to just see this one. I don't think I got all the band members in this shot. But this one you can tell that they have facial features. John Waller and the band Leeland opened.

So - that was my Thursday night! I went by myself, and it was such a good concert!

I have a couple of other paper-craft related pictures to post later, but right now I want to go and attempt to make a Christmas tree. :)

I think I'm still alive...

I realize that it has been an inconceivable amount of time since I posted last. Or since I stamped. I don't think I had posted this card for you yet, but if I have, forgive me.

So, what has happened since a random post in August, and a post in October? Well... let's see...

School starting
Starting the 2nd six weeks
meetings
Church goings-on
Losing my mind somewhere around August 27 (first day of school)
a stomach virus (thanks kids!)
Poor un-touched stamps
Visit to the Pumpkin Patch (field trip)
Singing in a wedding (tonight actually)

And I acutally have this cute little "boo" sign that I made, and I would love to take a picture of it for you, but my Mom wanted to borrow my camera, and now I can't find it. I also have a card that I need to post for you, but... well...

I am quite sad that I didn't have my camera for the pumpkin patch. It was fun, although I had been out the day before with some stomach virus. And the bumpy hayride didn't boost my confidence in my very little strength.

I have also been so out of the loop in regards to my stamping and scrapbooking. I do miss it. There are some weekends that I go back up to the school and work, just to get things organized and sorted. I lay something down, and then I can't find it a day later. So - I try to put things where I can know they'll be - but that works for Monday, and then Tuesday - Friday it's a free-for-all with everything.

I have also (unfortunately) let the cat out of the bag that I'm crazy and will go dance and do stupid things on stage for the "pep-rally" on Fridays. So I have had to do all sorts of things - and most times I am volunteered, rather than the one volunteering. Oh well.

I'm going to see if I can find something mild to eat. And see if anyone knows where my camera is hiding.

Stamp something good today. I'm going to try.
