Class is winding down

I can't believe that I'm closing in on the end of Inspiration Showcase (a class from Online Card Classes I have learned a lot and been inspired. I haven't completed many of the pieces of the final project yet. I've tried using some of what I already had, but learned that I didn't have quite the right stuff and/or not enough skill with these techniques to make what I did have yield pleasing results. I bit the bullet and ordered a bunch of basic supplies. They have been shipped! It'll be like Christmas when that box arrives. I'll be able to get down to business and create! In the meantime, I've been playing around with what I do have. It's been a blast. I'll post more about the project as I complete it.

Straight from the heart

I'm taking the blog your heart challenge I'm just going to type and see what happens.

I get so many things swirling around in my head all at the same time that it sometimes amazes me that I can focus on one thing at a time.

1. Christopher's behavior at Kindergarten has been a bit challenging. I was fearful that this would happen because he is more cognitively advanced than his peers. We've experienced it before at daycare/preschool. I'm seeing it again. We're very lucky to have a Kindergarten teacher that is really extending herself and working with us to find an effective corrective action. He very happily trotted into school this morning--I'm hoping that fact is a positive portent of the day.

2. I can't believe that it is raining here again today. After all of the flooding that we experienced just one week ago I find it amazing that there is any water left in the sky!

3. I'm in the midst of a new online class. Online Card Classes is offering Inspiration Showcase with Jennifer McGuire and other guest instructors. I am not normally a card maker. I never have been. I just couldn't pass by this class. It's so full of fun techniques. I'm a little behind because I don't have access to some of the materials--but I'll fix that! (Thank goodness for online shopping!)

4. I just signed up for another class---BIG Surprise right?---at Big Picture Classes. Double Take is still open for registration and it promises to be packed with lots of double page layout goodness. I am so excited and eagerly anticipating the beginning of class.

I think I've run out of steam for the moment....not that there aren't a lot more things swirling in this brain of mine!
