ScrapbookNerd news..

Happy Friday!

What a week!

So much has happened, and I have

been meaning to share with you on my blog.

Some big news. BIG!

(At least for me!! lol)

I have made the

Scrapbook Nerd Creative Team!!!

I am a NERD!!

So exciting!

This week was my first week!!

I am so honored to be on their team--

this online store is absolutely fantastic!

Great prices, great shipping, great service.

And one of the main things I love, 

is that they are completely Canadian!

I love their forums--such a great place

to be. 

There is a running joke among the 

fellow forum girls--the Nerds, as we are called.

The Scrapbook Nerd owners, Joy and Barb, 

are called 'our dealers'. lol

Another term would be enablers at their finest!

So, I would like to share some 

of my projects with you.

I am so excited about this opportunity!!

doing much better now.

so relieved that the weekend is here.

What happened yesterday, you may ask?

Well, my friends, I spent the

day in my daughter's Kindergarten class....all day.

I love being able to participate in the

class with my daughter and her classmates...

But holey cannoli!! What a bunch! 

In total, 21 kids.....celebrating 

Dr.Seuss's birthday.

Which, technically, is next week, 

but it is Winter Break for our schools in 

our province, so no school.

21 kids celebrating, with treats...cupcakes.

yowza!

lol

Anyways, I survived. 

And I have the utmost respect for teachers 

who do this for a living...

I was exhausted!! lol.
