Treasured Friends

Hello all!  It's Tuesday evening and the week is already moving by quickly. I had a great weekend (and hope you did, too). My twin sister and I celebrated our birthday with family celebrations, good times with friends and, of course, presents!  What's not to love about that? :)

Tonight I was supposed to be in class-- I registered for classes to earn my Reading Endorsement. Classes will meet every Tuesday night from 4 pm until 9 pm and run through May (what was I thinking??). That's a long evening after teaching all day!  Well, I received an e-mail that class for tonight was canceled!  Woohoo (of course I am sooo disappointed!)-- bonus crafty time!! ;)

So here's a little something I came up with...

 

 

You might recognize the patterned papers from Avonlea and Chantilly. I had fun mixing those together. The bear is from Jeanette Lynton's vintage collection. I actually used the (oldie but goodie) wood mounted version that I purchased almost 15 years ago. The newer version is on its way to my doorstep and I am excited to have it in the clear mount form... the newer one comes with accessories-- party hat, gift and a piece of cake-- cute as can be!

 

Well, off to bed now-- this girl gets up before the chickens and needs a little beauty rest. :)

 

I hope you get a little extra time to do what you enjoy this week!!

 

xoxo,

Kristine

 

P.S. I really AM excited about my classes...  it's all worth it in the long run!
