Scrappy Kea

I got to play with some of the new Basic Grey Ranges for The Scrapbook Outlet last weekend...I love Nook & Pantry even more in rea life! I also had some My Little Shoebox papers and die cuts to work wtih...keep an eye out for the Scrapbook Outlet Ezine! Saturday Brunch. Best Pancakes! The Quince Tree. Yay, Term Break! I am going to an Inspiring Local Thinkers Conference in Invervegas next week, then do some work, then off to the Beach!

Really enjoying having my own classroom rather than teaching in a few each day - even if they were daily teaching times in the rooms, there's something about at least having a cupboard to keep my stuff in! My blogging for fun has been really useful with my class blog and as my class grows it will be fantastic to keep parents/whanau up to date and informed, am hoping the children in the class can do some of our videoing and photography for it so it's a real ICT experience for them too. Have some scrap creating to do this weekend - will be nice to take a break from school stuff and get paper everywhere. A bit of nook & pantry in there too....loved this stuff from the sneaks and cool to have it to play with for the ezine! Queenstown Scrapretreat Workshops and Day registrations are all go over there! Smiles.

Picked up this issue at Whitcoulls yesterday - cool comp if you buy it at Whitcoulls at the moment too... My girls have a page each in this issue, they loved seeing their layouts about dad in print when I showed it to them last night. Thanks Up2Scrap :-) I signed the papers yesterday at work to take on a 'roll growth' new entrant class till the end of this school year, start in a week's time! Very exciting and daunting, not much time to get organised...have two school visits this week with some of my class coming in. What do you remember from your new entrant class? I especially remember 'Where the Wild things are' by Maurice Sendak because my teacher (Miss Potvine) did a corner of the room up like the land of the wild things...hanging vines and all!

Cool competition at Scrapbook Outlet ! GOK inspired - check out the details here and the first catwalk is here Prize is a Slice machine worth $260.00 and lots of spot prizes. Looks fun :-)
