RAK FROM JDMOMMY...


This is the gorgeous card that I recieved from Anne aka jdmommy. She sent this lovely card to me accompanied by some Changito images that I can use in my classroom this year! Thank Anne! I love this technique and the colors are so rich and beautiful!!

LORI'S SAS...


I went to my friend Lori's house last night and made these cards.. It was so fun to sit and stamp with friends. I love the set and can't wait to use them. Thanks for a fun time Lori!

CHANGITO IN MY CLASSROOM..


Well, take a good look now.... This is the top-half of the door to my classroom at school. I used these adorable Changito monkeys. I stamped it, then used an opaque projector to make the image larger. I traced it onto bulletin board paper with pencil, then went over it with a black sharpie. I then used my daughter's crayons to color it. I wrapped my door with yellow bulletin board paper, then cut out the monkey's and put them on the door. I added grass by cutting green construction paper with my scissors and then layered it on the bottom of the door. I used the school's ellison die cut machine to cut out the apple and backed the frame with black construction paper to make it look like a chalkboard. I used chalk to write the Welcome message.

Normally, I would change out the door decoration each month.. and had big plans to update with Changito for each season and theme. However, there is a new Fire Marshall in town.. and while visiting, he informed us we can no longer decorate our doors --poooey!!! We have done this for the past upteen years, but now it is a no, no. So, take a good look now... poor Changito will come down at the end of the month.

...AND GOD CREATED VIRGINIA...

Hi! I just had to share this funny email that a good friend of mine forwarded to me. It made me laugh out loud, so I just had to share it here. Don't take it personally (if you live in DC.. it's just a joke **wink**)... Enjoy a good laugh...
  • God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found him, resting on the seventh day..
    He inquired, "Where have you been?"
    God smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made."
    Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, "What is it?"
    "It's a planet," replied God, and I've put life on it.. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a place to test Balance."
    "Balance?" inquired Michael, "I'm still confused."
    God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth. "For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while southern Europe is going to be poor. Over here I've placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of black people. Balance in all things."
    God continued pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."
    The Archangel , impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area and said, "What's that one?"
    "That's the Commonwealth of Virginia, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, and plains. The people from the Commonwealth of Virginia are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to travel the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, carriers of peace, and producers of good things."
    Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, "But what about balance, God? You said there would be balance..."
    God smiled, "Right next to Virginia is Washington, DC. Wait till you see the idiots I put there."
