An Alphabet Book - Part 1

My cousin had a baby boy so I started making a little memory book for him.  One where pictures can be added, different textures to feel and of course get familiar with his ABC's as he grows.  And since I am making one I could just as well make two so will have one for sale at the end too!

Hooray for Teachers!

Especially my son's kindergarten teacher.  I applaud her for all the patience she has - I would have to go into her classroom armed with duct tape (not sure about the other kids but specifically for mine!) He is a boy with an abundance of energy, no volume switch and little concern for the rules although we have tried).  For Christmas I have made her a set of reward/encouragement cards to hand out to her students when they have done an extraordinary job or need that little bit extra.  I hope she likes them and can use them - I sure had fun stamping and coloring them.  It was also a great way to use up a bunch of my little scraps of coloured card stock.

In Remembrance

A pretty field of poppies done with water color crayons on water color paper .  Then I sprayed some shimmer mist over the entire panel.  Thank you to all the soldiers past and present.

Friday's Funny - Funnier Because it is only Thursday

This is so how I feel this week after attending marathon meetings and preparing for those meetings and kids asking if they can have sleep overs and family birthdays and at some point here I have to do some bookkeeping...  I just wanna color!

Sweet Trick or Treats

Halloween was a success although I forgot to take pictures of the kids all dressed up - can you believe it?!?!  It didn't start to snow until we were on our way home and it was nice enough before that , the kids only had to wear 2 layers under their costumes and no coat.  (today the snow pants and touques had to come out though). So even though I had to cancel our big Halloween party I still decorated a cake and Mr. Bones joined us for supper.
