Don't Believe Everything your Teacher tells you...

Ok...Maggie aka Sandersmr, at the Guild, challenged us to write about a school grade memory...do you realize Maggie just how long ago that was for me...but low a behold I can remember my first day of kindergarden. My Mom had just started working when I entered school, so my sister Kathy who is 4 years older than me (her birthday is actually today too, Happy Birthday Sis!!!) she took me to school on my first day, I was still 4 years old as my birthday falls in the month of September. Well anyways, my sis had to go to class so she was gonna leave me to get to class and I started crying and my teacher Mrs. Macaroy (we called her Macaroni later on in my elementary years...wow I can't believe I remembered her name, let alone that!!!) well anyways Mrs Macaroy told me that if I didn't stop crying she was gonna take me to see Mr Davis the Principal. From that day on until I entered High School, I though all Principals were Mr Davis, (yep no lie until I entered high school. ) You see Mr Davis went to the Junior High School the year I started Jr High too. So the lesson to learn is "Don't Believe Everything your Teacher tells you" it can scar you for years!!!

Scraplift/Tag Challenge at the Guild

Gosh ... where does the time go, I thought I had just updated this blog only to find out it was two days ago...boy oh boy, I tell you. Well, I did a really fun challenge over at the Guild...it is a Scraplift Tag Challenge, and was part of the Artisan Notebook "Learn by Lifting" article, it was alot of fun to do and the information in the Artisan Notebook was soooo helpful, inspiring and just an overall cool tool to refer to!!! go check it out here and then when you just love this challenge go check out how to become a Guild Member!!! Well, back to what I was saying, I did this challenge and one Layout I started was a scraplift of Amson's (Carolyn) sweet LO "My Little Birdie", well, I started it but got stuck on the title, I just couldn't figure out how to do it...I knew I wanted the Bass to be in the Typewriter Font, but then I wanted Solo to go over it and everything I tired just over powered the Bass...so I kept putting it away thinking something would click finally, well guess what, inspiration hit in the middle of the night, yep in my sleep I worked it out and came up with this:
BASS SOLO

So that was the May Scraplift/Tag and yep always late, but I got it done :D YAY!!! So then Debb did the great article in the Artisan Notebook that was based off that tag game and came up with a different LO to lift and it was of gonewiththewind's LO "Shine" , well I really wanted to use Amy Head's awesome kit "Southern Comfort" along with some "Bling" or is that "Blang" southern style, and so I added some glitter from the June 2008 "Bohemian Bling" Guild Membership kit, along with some other goodies, and this is what I came up with:

Who am I!?!

Well, being on the Guild Creative Team we were asked to create a LO about reflection, it was wide span on what we wanted to reflect upon in our life, and I decided to reflect upon "Who am I!?!" Man it was hard to get started but my friend Christy (Crafts and/or Happy 2 Day) gave me a bit of inspiration and it just flowed between that and the Postage Stamp Class by Mary Jameson from the Guild...it ended up being alot of fun, from taking the pics with my new remote to putting the LO all together!!! Here it is:
