I thought I was seeing the light...

As I type this I'm printing 102 certificates of completion to make our Rolo diplomas for the end of the year. The good news for me is that everyone is responsible for wrapping their own candy rolls. LOL I'll post a picture of mine when they're done. My poor friend, Terry was the one that went to the store and bought all the Rolos for us. She said she was given some strange looks. LOL!

I thought I was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, but I've added more things to my "to do" list. As a matter of fact, I really need to made a "to do" list so that I'll remember everything I need to get done. LOL!

I am now making the beach scene layouts for the 6 other kindergarten classes. I'm still working on the end of year movie and the school computer isn't playing nice so I'm afraid I may have to bring that project home. I've been asked to redo the Kindergarten Memory book I made for the kids to complete last year by a first grade teacher so she can do it with her class. I also need to redo the cover on the Memory Book for Kindergarten for that it will have this year's date on it. While doing all of this I've got to pack up my class for the summer while also decorating it for the luau party.

When June finally gets here, I think I'll sleep through it. LOL!

I finished the beach scene layout for my class and thought you might like to see it too...



Now the printer is finished printing so I'm going to bed. Enjoy your day!

It's been a long week

Well, it looks like my school year may end a little early. We're still fighting with the school board over pay. We didn't get our raises and they're planning on taking at least two day's pay from us.

Right now the plan is to have us work two half days and to take away the one teacher workday we get to close out the year. I have no problem with starting vacation early, but I just hate to lose even more money. They promise they'll pay us back in the fall but I'm not going to hold my breath. LOL!

If they are actually going to do this they need to make some plans soon. The parents will have to make arrangements for their kids on the days they only plan on having the teachers until 11:30.

It's bedtime for me. Enjoy your day!

There's just no pleasing some people

I know that everyone has someone in their life, either personal or professional, that they just can't please. The type of person that lets you know when you've done something they don't like. The person that never once says thank you when you've gone out of your way to do something for them. The person that you would just like to smack. LOL! Well, I had an absolutely rotten day because of the non-pleasing person in my life.

The good news is that the day is over and because of changes that I've chosen to make this person will soon be out of my life. The bad news is I that I have to tolerate this person for a little while longer and that even when they are no longer making me miserable, they'll just be making someone else feel that way.

I feel sorry for people that are always unhappy. Life is just too short!

I'm going to get some sleep now. Enjoy your day and stay away from the person that tries to make it an unhappy one!

I found my pass!

I found my resort pass without really looking for it. It was as simple as picking up a box of things I brought home from school and moving it. LOL! I must have placed the resort pass on desk then put the box on top of it without thinking. You know I never would have found it if I had really been looking!

The big topic of conversation at school today beside the number of days left was where we would be getting lunch of Friday. LOL! Looks like it's going to be The Ale House.

I used the pictures we've been taking to make this Luau party page. It's going to be used as the card front the boys in my class get inviting their parents to the party.



The surfboard and water paper are from Shel Belle's Tropical Punch kit. The sand is from a freebie I picked up at JK2X. The beachball and trees were part of the Sunshine Beach Blog Train

The girls gave me a hard time because I didn't get their page finished. LOL! I've been working on it and wishing that we hadn't put the grass skirt on them cuse it makes it so much harder to do the extraction.

I'm tired and need to get some sleep. Enjoy your day!

Happy Mother's Day

Today was a fun day! Beautiful weather and great friends can't be beat. My friends had the grill going and we went out for a boat ride. Too bad the weekend has to end!

I managed to get a few things made for school that the other teachers have been waiting on forever. It will be nice to take everything to school tomorrow and have one less thing to worry about as the school year ends. LOL! The next big project is a slide show that needs to be made and burned onto CD's before the Luau party on June 3rd.

Remember my lost resort pass? Well, once again I forgot all about it until now. LOL! Looks like I'll be asking the guards to let me in the gate for another day. If I don't find it, the association charges $50 for a new one. YUCK! Guess I should really get to looking!

Deanna of Flowerscraps is releasing a kit today called Home Grown. It's a collab that she worked on with Steph of Scrappy Cocoa and it is wonderful! Here's a layout I made with a picture of our hotel room in London. We decided to take pictures before we started throwing our suitcases and clothes all over the place. LOL!



It's my bedtime. Enjoy your day!

Actually, what I got is more flip flops. Three pairs of them. LOL! You can never have too many flip flops.

I've lost my resort pass again. I used it in the mail room on Wednesday to pick up a package and haven't seen it since. The problem is that I only remember that I've lost it at weird times, like now and when I need to get inside the security gate or when I'm locked out of the building. LOL!

Luckily, the guards on the back gate know me pretty well and let me in. It pays to be nice to them! LOL! So far, there's only been one time that I needed to get in the building and had to wait for someone to come along. Thank goodness the wait wasn't long! A cute guy in a Kinko's shirt was on his way out and held the door for me. Thank you, Kinko's guy!

Anyway, tomorrow's project is to try and find the pass. Wish me luck! If you've got any ideas on where I should look, I'd love to hear them! LOL!

April has got a pretty set in her store called Heavenly Hybiscus. We've been taking pictures of the kids at school for our end of year luau party so I played with her kit a little today...



I also used Flowerscraps portion of A Mother's Moment blog train to scrap one of my London pictures. This statue was in the Imperial War Museum. There was a whole section devoted to the children of World War II. It was a very sad and beautiful part of the museum. There was a gentleman there that had been a child in London during the war. He was with his grandchildren and was pointing things out to them and sharing his memories. His stories actually had my friend Susan and I in tears.



In honor of Mother's Day, Shel Belle Scraps is releasing the first part of a kit today called Mother's Love. It's a beautiful kit with nice soft colors. I used some of the background papers from it to scrap another London Picture. This one was taken in Harrods Department Store and is a statue honoring Princess Diana and Dodi al Fayed.



Here's a preview of the kit for you to see. Now make sure you go visit Shel to pick it up!



OK, everyone, give my friend Dianna of Digicats a big hand. She is now selling her tagger size kits at Stargazer Scraps! Go check it out! She's got a Mother's Day sell going on now.

Now, I've got an exra freebie for you today in honor of my new flip flops. LOL! Have you ever seen anyone so excited over flip flops?
