I've never been one to enjoy April Fools day.  You didn't see me at school wetting the teacher's chalk or putting a whoopee cushion on their chair.  Yes we had chalk and blackboards when I was young.  If you were lucky you got to bang out the dusters at the end of the day.  Anyway, this April Fool's day was no exception.  I made great efforts to make sure the kids didn't know about it so I didn't have to put up with an hour of "hahaha April Fools!" before they went to school.  I was overcome with a sense of guilt when walking home after dropping them off though… I forgot to pre-warn them that the rest of the school would be buzzing with April Fools tricks. Someone managed to convince jacob that his Mum was at the office with some sort of nasty message.  Kids can be cruel.

So today.  The Stampin' Up catalog is released today.  I've had a preview and it's great stuff.  I've ordered the Short and Sweet (is that what they are called) stamps – someone had them at the Prima Card Buffet I taught over the weekend and they were perfect. 

PB Contra Pop

A new venture by Trina McClune, Lara Moss and Vicky Gibson with SBO… Precious pages
Kits for around $10 via the Scrapbook Outlet.
Talking of Scrapbook Outlet, they are still playing the 'win a raffle ticket to win a place at the Autumn Escape" game….  it's worth registering in the forum if you haven't already.

BasicGrey for you… 2 collections this time, at Tarisota… I'm working on them as we speak (type, read, you get the point).

Hey- plans are already underway for Autumn Escape 2010.  Now's your chance to let us know the fabulous amazing Aussie or NZ tutors you love.  Who would you really love to see there?  We're listening! 

Did I show you the house that Jack built? Scroll down :o)

    That is a darling little mini book, a great way to help little ones learn to identify words and document the little things in life that mean so much.

    What a gorgeous little book!
    I was a “blackboard monitor” in primary school, which meant you got to clean the board & whack the dusters at the end of each day – it was a highly sought-after job & I was thrilled to be nominated for my brief moment of chalk dust glory – ah yes, those were the good ol’ days… ;o)

    PS: So sorry to hear about your book project being shelved, that really bites! Have you thought about publishing it yourself instead?
