Class recap and a new class to look foward to!

Last Saturday I taught a wonderful group of women my Life List mini album...the class was sold out and it was so much fun! I am going to share some pics on here and also....we are ready to show our next project...."Happy Halloween"!! I hope to see many of you in class! It's going to be a great time with no tricks and lots of treats :)

This is a custom album that will not be sold anywhere else...this book is loaded with tons of goodies by Teresa Collins, Little Yellow Bicycle and Cosmo Cricket..plus more! Sally out did herself with this one! If you would like to take the class be sure to call Scrapbooking Heaven in Westminster to sign up!!

I will be back this week to share pics from the last class...I just realized they are on my memory card that isn't in my computer room !!

Scrapbooking Classes...here I come!

I look at the calendar and cannot believe it is almost August!

I've been away from this blog way too long....but finishing up a special ed credential and applying and interviewing and landing a job just sucked up most of my life!

But I'm about to get some weeks of freedom before school starts...and I'm going to do one thing I love...teach scrapbooking classes with my lovely friend Sally....

so here's the first one!

It's a Teresa Collins travel album...red, black, white, stamping, bling, so much fun! 31 pages just awaiting pics...pure goodness!

We will be teaching at Scrapbooking Heaven in Westminster (on Goldenwest) on August 9th at 10:30 am! Cost is $30! and you get an entire package of American Crafts alphas to add any title you want...over 700 letters!!! So don't be detered by my Seattle/Portand....you can title it anywhere you want!

Hope to see you there!

Where is 2008 going?

This year is flying!
I am up to my elbows in finishing up student teaching, my spring semester at school and trying to have some sort of life away from these 2 things!

Saturday I am heading to the freckle friends Autism crop....such a wonderful cause and one close to my heart since I am getting a special education credential....I work with this every day.....the kids are amazing and the more research and studies that can be done the better!

They are having a silent auction and have some really cool stuff to auction...stuff from Ali, Donna Downey, and so much more!
Go check it out here and see about placing a bid! They have some great stuff!

Have a fabulous weekend...hopefully I can get back in the habit of blogging more often! :)

Does the calendar really say April?

Good golly! Where did April come from? I feel like I just put away Christmas!

I am super busy buried in flashcards trying to learn every aspect of teaching reading so I can pass the RICA exam next Saturday....4 hours....70 multiple choice, 2 short essays, 2 longer essays and one BIG case study....just the way you want to spend a Sat. afternoon...right?

I did get some down time....went to Michelle Hill's ATC year of memories class today....just what I needed....to clear my head!

I have also been scrapping for some relief! Here are some layouts using the Freckle Friends April Collection....so many fun colors!

Wishing you all a wonderful week....I will be spending mine with zillion flash cards! :)

In desperate need of a post :)

Sorry this blog has been neglected.....March has been an INSANE month between going to school, teaching middle school as a student teacher, keeping up with life in general, a trip to Dodger's Spring Training in AZ....it's been hectic!

I wanted to share a few scrappy things I made for Freckle this month and I forgot to add them here!

I received the April kit to play with and it is fabulous....be sure to check it out on April 1st!

A Quiet Weekend....

After two crazy weekends and a full week it was nice to stay home a bit this weekend!! We watched "Rendition" on Friday night and just hung out at home yesterday and today cleaning, doing homework and scrapping!

I finished up a past Michelle Hill kit and it turned out super cute and made two simple quick layouts!

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!

More pics....make sure to scroll down to the last post as well!

more expo pics :)

My Life has been CRAZY lately!! A hodge podge of pics....

pics above are me running crazy during Exop class and all the fun stuff Sally and I each won!

to the left is from Heidi's booth...loved this frame!

to the left are our bags!

I loved this ADORE album at CHA!

To the right are a couple of Vegas pics

To the left is a pic of some of the Sunday students in the expo class!!

We took off to Vegas before I started student teaching to relax a bit, returned home and ever since I started student teaching life has been crazy! I am student teaching all day and going to school 2 nights a week...and after my first week I spent my weekend at CHA and then taught the following week...and spent last weekend at Scrapook Expo!

Here are some pics and a wrap up of my life the last couple weeks :) I have LOTS of pics...it may take 2 posts...we will see if blogger will cooperate! :)

We had a great time in Vegas....thank God we didn't stay in Monte Carlo as it caught fire just minutes after we arrived in Vegas!

CHA was amazing...so excited for all the new product! Sally and I won great prizes from Making Memoreies....grand prize winners receiving a really nice black luggage bag FULL of product (pictures on here!) and the new SLICE cutter! We were so excited I think everyone heard us scream! We had to go straight to the car as those bags weighed at least 50 pounds each!!!

I want to stay a BIG thank you to Sally for helping me on Friday (even though you felt crummy!...so glad you are better!), Dawn for helping me on Saturday and Susan for helping me on Sunday....Scrapbook Expo was great...I had 30+ students on Friday, 47+ students on Saturday, and 10+ students on Sunday! Everyone left with a finished album...which is quite an accomplishment in an hour! Thank you to everyone who came and took our class....it was GREAT meeting everyone! :)
