New Cards

I have been working so hard recently on my class blog that I have forgotten about posting here. I will attempt to add several cards tonight

Birthday Cards

These cards were inspired by some cards I saw on splitcoaststampers and different blogs.

Special Ocassion Cards

 This one I made when my Brother-in-law's Father-in-law died.

 This one I made for my son, Parker's 21st birthday.

 This one is for my husband, William's 50th Birthday. That is a copy of a picture of him as a little boy. I love it!!!

 This is one I made for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day this year.

 This is my husband's Father's Day card this year.

This one I made for my son, Jordan, when he turned 20 this summer. That is a picture of him marching in one of the three parades he was in on July 4th in the Chicago area this year.

Aunt's Brag Book

This little memory book I made for a friend at school who was going to be an aunt for the first time.

Valentines

Okay my sister says I need to be better a posting the cards I make. Really all my ideas are adapted from something I have seen on "Splitcoaststampers" or helpful suggestions from my sisters Cindy and Malia. These are some Valentines I made this year.

DCI Memory Tri-Folds

After arriving home from the DCI World Championship in Indianapolis I made these for my sons as a memory of their summer 2012. I was inspired by some 8 x 8 scrapbook pages is saw on "Splitcoaststampers."

Vietnam Teacher's Conference

Wow, what a great SET teacher's conference we have had this year. We have met some amazing teachers, professors and parents. As we have created "Where's Waldo?" type rice bottles and other center manipulatives, sang songs, read stories and played games, we have seen smiles and laughter abound. The teachers have been really open to the training and teaching methods we have tried to share with them. I think the kindergarten children in Vietnam will be very blessed to have such wonderful teachers and parents.
My health has been relatively good this time so far. I had a bit of queasiness last night that kept me from eating dinner. I think it was from being really tired. I slept most all night from 5:45-4:30 this morning. I only we was out of bed from 6:30-7:10 to try and go downstairs to have dinner. Unfortunately I couldn't.This made me really sad. The staff here at the hotel went to a lot of trouble to make an amazing dinner that looked incredible. They were all so kind that I was truly blessed by their generosity.

Tonight half of us head up to Bac Ha on the train immediately after the conference I cannot wait to be back there. I love the peaceful way of life up there and the beauty of nature that is all around. We are hoping that the quick turn around from the conference and getting on the train on time will not be a problem.
