Shel Belle Scraps has added a cute mini kit to the September Build a Kit section at STS. It's called The Essentials.



She has also made an adorable mini for the Fall Carnival Blog Train.



I actually had a chance to play with this kit and have a layout to show you...



I just love the papers in this freebie!

Visit Shel's blog to pick up the blog train freebie and find out where all the other stops are. Then go to Stuff to Scrap to buy her BAK mini and check out all the other minis that you can mix and match.

I've had one incredibly long day and I promise to tell you all about it tomorrow. You'll either feel really sorry for me or laugh and point at me.

Asian Beauty by Scraps of Ellay

Scraps of Ellay and Misty O'Brien Designs worked together and created a gorgeous kit called Asian Beauty. You are really going to love this one! Check out the preview...

The first thing I thought of when I saw this kit was the Botanical Garden we have here on Miami Beach. It's small and I know people who have lived here their entire life that didn't even realize it existed. I've attended a really pretty wedding there and somewhere in this garden there is a micro geocache that we have been trying to find FOREVER!

Here are a couple of layouts that I've made with this awesome kit...




For more layout inspiration visit Ellay's blog and head on over to the Scraps of Ellay store at STS to buy the kit. It's on sale right now!

I think I need a vacation...already!

I woke up around 7:30 this morning and had a mini freak out thinking I had slept late. Once I figured out it was Saturday and I didn't have to be anywhere I fell back to sleep.

I woke up again about an hour later with the phone in my hand. I have no idea if I tried to call someone or if the phone rang and I answered it without really waking up. No one I know has said anything about having a strange conversation with me this morning. lol!

I just hope I wasn't trying to order fajitas in my sleep. LOL!

And the kids keep coming!

The first week of school has ended and overall I have to say that it was a very good week for me. I'm tired, but happy with how my class has adjusted so far.

The thing I'm not happy about---getting another student on Monday. It will be student number 24! Apparently, Dade County doesn't see the need to worry about that silly little state law that says there should be no more than 18 kindergarten students in a class.

The worst part of it all is feeling guilty about not wanting that many students. I look at their smiling faces and know that my room wouldn't be the same without them, but still daydream of hearing that another teacher has been hired.

All this stress isn't good for me so I treated myself to those fajitas. LOL! The cute delivery guy showed up looking cute, of course. He had his smile all ready for me as soon as I opened the door. It was the perfect way to end the week!

Tonight Orange Croc Guy told me that I haven't been any fun lately. The first week of school zaps your energy and your fun. lol!

I got another student today and yes it was a boy. That's 23 kids and 16 of them are boys.

If I make it to Friday, I'm celebrating by ordering fajitas. Now, that will be fun!!! lol!
