First day of Summer

Okay...for some reason, it feels like it's the first day of the start of my summer. Not too sure if that's good or not, but I like the feeling. We just wrapped up Art Camp 2008 last Friday with an awesome art show at the library. The boys arrived safely at Glorieta, NM on Monday. They are on a youth trip this week and I'm so excited for them to be able to go. I always wanted to go to Glorieta. Why you ask am I not there too?....well, I'm asking myself that. I think I'll go ahead and sign up for next year. They are going to Ridgecrest. Todd is working and that leaves me here at home alone.

It's been so long since I've just been home alone...relaxing with nothing pressing to do. Not that my house is clean or anything, but just nothing that HAS to be done. So, yesterday Tabitha came over and we scrapbooked. Haven't actually SB in forever. I finished 2 little books. I had already started them, but I was able to finish the pages that I needed to. I have this one CUTE book for my nieces (BTW, if you DIDN'T know...my brother and his wife have TRIPLETS...girls: Isabelle, Alyssa, and Makenna.). Anyway, Kim always KINDLY sends great 5x7 pics of them and I've put them in a cute scrapbook. One per page. very simple and cute. I painted the front cover of the SB today and I really like it. AGAIN ONE DAY when I figure out a fast way to add pics to my blog, I"ll show you.

Okay I used the word cute too many times in that paragraph. LOL. My students always make fun of the things I say, but it's usually the overuse of the word "fancy". I started this thing with them where when they came in to class, somedays I would make "announcements" and some days I would have "CUTE announcements". Use your imagination LOL.

Thanks to all of you checking my blog and who have mentioned it to me. I'm working on "prizes" this week for Paige, Jenn.K., Jenn. F., Bethany, Angela, and Kelley. You're the 6 winners.

I'm also working on my 2 "projects" from Canton (My "bedspring" angels and the scrolls that I'm using to paint the 10 commandments.) We'll see how that goes.

Artcamp parents: email me at toddsuzy@bellsouth.net if you would like the code/security key for artsonia so that you can leave/check messages for your kids. You can join their fan clubs and leave comments for them for free. I have posted ALOT on there today. Check it out!!!

I'm thinking about the adult classes. Call or email me if you're interested. Some ideas are: Make-N-Take classes for: scripture plaques, canvas letters, mini scrapbooking projects. There's also talk of some wanting to do a Scrapbooking Retreat.

I"ll leave you with this random bit of info for the evening...I just counted 26 birds at our feeder.

Create.
Suzy
