Just a quick post

Just a quick post tonight as I might possibly freeze if I stay at my desk any longer.  10pm and 6 degrees.  Honestly I drag myself through winter.


Anyway, I scrapped at the speed of lightening over the weekend.  Mostly today, and got the Kindy album done.  I have some pics to share and it doesn’t look like it, but that album had about 100 pages.  Around 50-60 done by me and about 40-50 given to me by kids and parents to include.  They were super super super simple but they still look a lot of time. 


It is A4 size – Actually bigger. That cover is 13 x 9 inches.  Huge!  I’m grateful I made that tag for Tarisota last month, it was perfect! I had covered the album with the papers, I looked around and it was sitting there and it matched perfectly.  I was rapt!  Even the sentiment was perfect.


Anyway, I’ll leave you with some images.  I’m SO glad it is done.  I’m incredibly busy working CHA booth work until about the 9th, thanks for checking in with me :o)

    The tag compliments the book perfectly, don’t you love it when things just work.

    Brrrrrrr! I’m cold just thinking about how cold you are. 😛
    Great job on the album. I am so impressed by the simple beauty of it… and by the speed at which you got it done. Congrats! I’m sure it will bring many smiles to the teacher and those around her. Great job!

    Great looking album. I wanna be a teacher who is leaving the kindy/school where one of your kids goes!! 😉 I too have become a fan of that teal colour. Used to think I never had photos to match that colour but I just wasn’t looking hard enough.
