A Few Things

Well, I’ve been a busy girl this week.  I managed to get a few projects done between working and grading papers.  The first card I’d like to share is a butterfly card I made.  I made it because it reminds me of spring.  Lord, it would be nice if we HAD a spring.  We had another blizzard warning this week, but again no snow thus no SNOW DAY.  Because we had no snow day, I participated in a little spiritual resistance on Thursday and wore jeans to work.  Yes, it was noticed by many since the staff is only allowed to wear jeans on Fridays.  But I promised everyone that mentioned it that I’d wear a dress on Friday.  Guess what?  I wore jeans again!  LOL!

Anyway, here’s the butterfly card I made.

Finally, as I’ve been preparing for my retirement from teaching and cleaning out my desk at work, I came across a folder of memorabilia consisting of little notes from students that I’ve had over the past 16 years.  I though a great way to preserve them would be to put them in Stampin’ Up!’s Epic Day This and That Book.  Here’s the photo of the cover I decorated and then following that are two photos of the current promotion for the Epic Day This and That Bundle that is available until April 30th.
