Sketchbook Olympics & Snow


A competition not to be missed... check out the forum at Sketchbook New Zealand for details!


The kids built this snowman on Thursday evening.... Schools were cancelled on Friday & this morning we woke to even more snow... but then it rained :-(


I created this using the Scrapbook Outlet's August Kit... it's a little booklet for recording messages and notes between me and the girls. below are some shots of the inside of it :-)


I've had a cold all week... would like it to go away now!
Enjoy your weekend/week... till next time....

p.s. loving being back at school teaching and have some very cool classes.... really loving numeracy too!

What a cool idea to make a book with the notes.
And sorry to say I don't really 'get' it with the numeracy love but do understand due to my maths loving boy! He's been on some site doing Maths olympics this week!

I love that little notebook - just gorgeous. It looks almost too beautiful to use. :) Are you doing the Numeracy Project? I'm lead teacher at my school for Maths and am absolutely passionate about it. Trained in ENP/ANP about 7 years ago.

love the notebook. The photo of the snowman made me smile. I used to be afraid of numeracy but I really enjoyed teaching this. So pleased to read you are enjoying the job and teaching again.

Purging

The stuff can take over.  My stuff was covering my work surface and much of the bedroom floor.  I had to do a big sort out. I was brutal.   Stuff...ready to go. I packaged it in some storage totes I had that needed a new home (I’m waiting for my new CTMH travel system to arrive) and listed it on s local trading site.  It’s gone now. It doesn’t look pretty but I have a desk space and things are organised. The rest of my supplies now fit in this cupboard. Since the ‘purge’ I have had the space to create.  It feels good and it’s great to be able to get to my desk. A few pages made since the tidy up...and a box of 20 cards!

my week so far...

This week is turning out great!  Having time on Monday (Otago Anniversary Day) to scrap with Lynley was just the best beginning!  Lynley was putting together some beginner class stuff that she intends to do soon – it looked great!  I got home to an email from The Scrapbook Outlet NZ asking if I would be a casual/oncall designer for their Design Team – of course I accepted – can’t wait to learn from Rach , Donna & Shani!  Then today I get an email from Jo (subeditor @ Up2Scrap ) accepting one of my submissions – I did send a few mind you so as you can imagine I’m buzzing!  I have packaged the LO ready to send tomorrow after Playcentre. Need to get back to reality though – Mum & Dad’s 50th Birthday this weekend, have to work out what I’m going to say, sort some table decorations & not to mention some way of sharing pictures of them when I only have Friday night & Saturday to do it!  Have to do some Playcentre Admin work this ev...
