Under the Weather

Well as you know I am a substitute teacher and you would think by now that I am immune to germs. But teaching the little one's especially Kindergarten through 2nd is a joy and yet it is a germaphobes nightmare. Anyway, I've been a bit under the weather, but have now rebounded. Although today, I was teaching 2nd graders this morning and seven of the kids were out sick, I guess that's better than yesterday when I am told nine of the students were out. And guess what, those that were in were sniffling and sneezing and coughing. Oh well, that's why they make hand sanitizer. I'm posting up Silly Beans Scraps blinkie, hoping that all will be approved for me to become a CT on their team.

More tomorrow, after I try and get some rest.

Final Post for Today-Wish me luck

Final post for today, I promise. I just wanted you to know how excited I am. I have asked Shannon Harris of Silly Beans Scraps to be on her official CT Team. I just love her stuff expecially the rich jewel tones. So wish me luck. You can find her designs at GoDigitalScrapbooking.com. In fact, yesterday she had a beautiful alpha as a freebie on the daily download.

Bye for today.

I need to be a better blogger

OK, seriously I really need to become a better blogger. I could say that I have been working alot of hours (which I have), or participating in the ADSR (which I am) but that would not be a good excuse for not blogging. It's kind of like Project 365, I started out with a lot of zeal but then I forget to take a photograph here or there, so if you are in the same boat don't feel bad. I'm trying to think up a template for those of us who don't have a whole week or a whole month of pictures. Anyway, no excuses for not blogging. My February resolution to get to my blog atleast twice a week. Right now we are on the last challenge for the ADSR and it has been a fun ride. It really takes you out of your comfort zone in digital scrapbooking. I'll post some of the LO's I have completed so far!
