Five days left of my first year with Kindergarten

....he kids have 5 days left ill they have summer holidays....my kids, as in my students in Kindie. I have 5 more days the following week and then I can relax, walk, read, create, visit and do whatever my heart pleases.

This summer a group of friends and I are going to host anothe fundraiser for the Weekend to End Breast Cancer, I am walking again in September.

I plan to visit family on the island. See some friends, work on some plans I have brewing in my head- in the creative side of my head that is.

Maybe there will be new things on my short list...new things that I have not anticipated. Perhaps .....who knows....

Unveiling, asymetrical, not parted in the middle, not blunt. Steph squealed when I said "sure' go for it. Then in my typical fashion I said..."no" wait! Ha......I loved it and feel trendy!

Crop Ticket sercured for.........

The BC Scrapbooking Crop for Kids this September.

I cannot believe how intense buying a crop ticket could be. In fact, I have never had to buy a crop ticket before because when you are part of the host LSS putting on the event, you don't need a ticket. Some of the ladies from PE are going to teach again at this event. I am going to be playing.

So buying this ticket tonight online was a funny experience. I was such a geek that I refreshed every few minutes to watch them disappear in front of my eyes. Over 100 tickets sold out in over 2 hours.

My sister is coming over from the island for the weekend. Shonia, her and I have a hotel reservation in one of the fancy rooms on the fourth floor. This will be a fun weekend. I will for sure have enough time to pre plan and get some work done that weekend.
