I FINALLY updated the look of my blog!!

I know, you all were probably thinking I was living in the stone ages of blogging . . . still using my cute Blogger Blue Template for the longest time :) . Well, today is a new day. It took me a few tries to get the sizing down for the header and figure out the sidebar and such. BUT, I did it!!!! And now that I know how to do it, I can update it more often. Wooo Hooo!!

So some things going on with me....
I taught a scrap class on Monday night. Tons of fun with some wonderfully talented women. I get so energized by teaching these classes. Literally, I am awake for hours at night after everyone goes home. Scrapbooking and people make me happy - you put the two together and I am silly with joy.

I stopped by Memories & Beyond on Wednesday to pick up the layout that I taught last month (the birthday one) because I have to package it up and send it off to Memory Makers Magazine. Yep, that is right . . . it will be gracing the pages of the October 2007 Idea Gallery issue of the magazine. I am super excited to have it published. The only tricky thing with it is there is a group photo of all the kids that were at the birthday party. Now I am busy running around town getting signed Model Release forms from all these parents. crazy.

While I was in the store, I decided to pick out the papers for my June class. The theme will be "Graduation". I found some great graduation papers by Moxxie that are black and white and very cool. I think the line is versatile enough to work with preschool all the way up to Ph.D. graduations :). Now I just need to get to work on the design. In case anyone attending my June class is reading, the paper colors I will be using are pumice (which is a stone gray color), white, black and one other color of your choosing (mine will be blue). I'll try to post a picture here when it is complete.

H went in for Kindergarten Roundup today. Basically to meet the teachers, see her classroom, and simply try to alleviate some of the stress in beginning school next fall. Stress? Nope, not H. She would have loved to get started today. She was sad it only lasted for an hour. So funny the differences between a first and second child. She had her Kindergarten shots at the doctor on Wednesday and handled it like a champ - didn't even cry. She was rewarded for her bravery with a new Littlest Pet Shop animal :).
