Thankful Thursday September 29

September 29, 2011 By JulieK

Can you believe that it’s the end of September already??? I know I can’t!!  What a crazy month it was… But hopefully things will calm down a little bit!! It seems like it’s been a month since the last Thankful Thursday… Hopefully now that we’re back in the swing of school it will get better :)

I’m so happy to report that BOTH children are riding big-kid bikes!!! We watched a you tube video put out by the New York parks and recreation deparment which said to take off their training wheels. and then take off their pedals and just let them push with their feet and scoot around so that they can understand the feel of the balance… then put the pedals on and they’ll be able to ride… AND OMGosh!!! It’s TRUE!  Here’s Miss Kathryn scooting in the driveway… and a close up ’cause I just love that picture :)

I don’t have the pics of Sean on this computer, but will try to remember to add them later… He was NOT excited to try this, he just wants to be automatically “good” at things, and was a “little” bit cranky about trying… But he finally did, and is now riding his big boy bike!!

So, then we had to get the kids “big kid” bikes… There’s another whole story that goes with that, but Sean’s knee is fine now… anyway… here’s the pics of the kiddos with their new bikes… (you can see Sean’s knee here… from trying a bike that was WAY too big for him… I appreciate the store trying to save us money in the long run… but, a smaller bike that we have to replace in a year is just fine…)

Happy Thursday everyone!!!

Class this Friday evening…

September 27, 2011 By JulieK

You heard right :) There’s going to be an extra special class this Friday evening at Ink About It in Westford… The store is usually not open on Friday evenings, but they are going to be open specifically for my class!!! There’s still some space, give the store a call and let them know that you want to come!!!

The book is in a “smash” style… The “Smash” books are sold out everywhere, and this is my take on it… I’ve never actually seen a Smash Book in person, but I couldn’t resist making my own little version of it… I had a “plan” for what it would look like, and then it got away from me :) It uses Simple Stories patterned paper, Zutter Acrylic tab pages, chipboard pages, plain pages (that we’re going to stamp) and even pockets!!! I had so much fun making this book, and I hope everyone will love it as much as I do!  Here’s a peek at the cover and a little bit of the inside :)

Here’s an inside page, you can see one of the pockets…

Here’s the back of the pocket page and a chipboard divider…

Class is just $25, if you have a Zutter Bind it All, you can bring it, if not, no worries!! I’ll have mine :) Everything will be ready to assemble!! Give the store a call and reserve your spot today!!

Do you LOVE Ribbon??

Thankful Thursday September!

September 8, 2011 By JulieK

Happy Thursday!!  It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks, from Band Camp through the beginning of school… I’m so tired!! We had a good opening, despite the sudden, unexpected loss of a teacher at my school late in the summer… Just horrible… Young (my age, and I’m still young, well, at least young enough that these things shouldn’t happen), athletic, outgoing, really… a big loss, if you can spare a prayer or 2 for his family, I’m sure that they would appreciate it… But, despite that… school is open, we’re getting into the swing of things and starting to settle in to the routine.

The kiddos started school this week, I don’t have any first day pictures yet, Mike does the “morning” and he hasn’t yet sent me the pictures… OMGosh, how is it possible that my “babies” are in second and fourth grade?? The year has started on a positive note for both, they are thrilled with their teachers, and the friends in their classes (there’s only 2 classes in each grade, so even if they aren’t in the same class, they see all their friends regularly). I’m just thrilled to see them so excited for school (I know… before I know it it will change… but I’m enjoying for now :)

OK… Got stuff to copy and get ready for the day… Hope everyone has a wonderful day… Count your blessings :)
