School is Out for the Summer!

Wow! It has been a while since I've posted here. I haven't spent much time in my sewing room or reading blogs either :( 

For the last 6 weeks, I have been very busy at work as I had a long term assignment teaching 2nd grade! I really enjoyed my class and teaching but it does take a lot more time than just subbing day to day. Planning, grading, meetings, report cards and all the special activities that happen at the end of the year. 

I am ready for summer!

(If only the weather would cooperate)

A few things that I did try my best at to keep up with is the Art Journal Challenge. With June my birth month, I decided on a celebration theme!

I stamped in my birthday and a dear friend of mine's birthday.

I have plans to make the altered book cover that my pages will go in this summer...I have some ideas...hope it turns out as well as in my head :)

Go to the flickr group here and/or the facebook page here to see some most amazing talent.

I also kept up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. June's color is yellow.

I can't believe that we are 1/2 way finished with this year's challenge. Here are all my blocks!

I'm loving it...think I may make some more of each color! All the colors are from my scrap bins and it really hasn't had any effect on reducing the size of my scrap bins...at all! 

You can see everyone's pretty blocks here.

Besides being busy at school, my daughter's came home and we were able to celebrate Mother's Day together (a week late but that's OK with me.)

My beautiful daughters!

3 generations!

Well that's all for now...but I promise to be back soon!
