Do you remember..

Do you remember the dreaded Kindy album I made about a term back?  Perhaps the end of March?  it was around 60 pages worth.  Nothing flash, just simple.  But a tonne of work and I just about lost the plot with the stress of it all.  Way back then it was Rebecca Cameron that helped me out with a few links to the Simple Scrapbook Gallery and with a lot of encouraging words from you guys, I got through it.

Well it's happening again.  There is another teacher leaving and since she has been teaching for 13 years, it calls for another scrapbook.  I have 2 weeks to do it and this is working around all the other commitments I have at this time of year.  Just quietly, I'm very scared. My hubby has always said that the tough part of being a builder is that he often gets asked "Can you just take a look at this?" with people's homes.  I find I often get the same kind of request.  "Could you just make a card for… could you just put together one of those albums for…"  Now we owe a lot to Kindy.  I don't do 'Mother help' as much as I should probably, and this teacher at Kindy is a special lady so when it comes down to it I'm really proud to be asked and to be able to help out and to have the honour of creating her album, but can I secretly be terrified as well?

Hometown Tourist, I'll admit.  I'm uninspired by my hometown right now.  It's dark, it's gloomy.  There are no leaves on a lot of the trees and everything is wet.  I can just imagune a dozen comments telling me I should find beautiful things in the gloomiest of places but I can't be bothered getting wet and cold to go look for them with a 4year old in tow!  I wonder if Kelly Goree takes a rain check on blog tags? Like, til summer?   

Ok.  I have things to do, sketches to create with.  I'll leave you with a Tarisota layout.

    love your layout. gorgeous as usual.
    yep, you have reason to be terrified. i know that feeling well. how will everything get done in time and get done to your perfectionistic qualifications? it will be what it will be. don’t stress about it. getting anything, no matter how simple, will melt her heart. it’s the thought that counts. don’t kill yourself trying to make it a masterpiece. anything you do will be priceless.

    I think you are SO kind to put this together for this teacher… and to tell you the truth I am sure they will LOVE what ever you put together. I am a Kindergarten teacher who is leaving my centre (after 7 LONG years) at Christmas and I am NOT expecting anything as lovely and special as this.
