A new era begins!

I am unofficially retired as of 1:30 pm June 1.  Official date is June 30, but today was the last day I work.  30 years!

Now more time to make cards and scrapbook.  Hoping to do some challenges now that I will have more time.

One of the students asked me what I was going to do with all my free time.  My answer......Whatever I want to do!

I am so excited!

Thanks for stopping by!

Almost There!

MDSM 110

I haven't participated in the MDS Monday sketch for a while.  Thought it was time!  My favorite subject (my granddaughter!) is shown here very intently removing the straw paper bit by little bit!  She is so much fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

MDS Monday 101 Put It on a Tilt

"Put it on a tilt" is the challenge for this week's sketch from MDS Monday.  I like to group items together on my layouts so this was a fun challenge for me.  It was another fun day with my granddaughter and her mom and dad.

Thanks for stopping by!

MDS Monday 100

It is hard to believe that MDS Monday has reached the 100 mark!  I chose #41 for my sketch.  I wanted several photo boxes.  I have to admit the pics aren't all that great.  Getting really hard to get good pics of this little girl.  She is constantly moving and then when she does pose, she throws her head back and gives a silly smile!  Gotta love her!

MDSM96 - Chalkboard

The challenge at MDS Monday was to make a chalkboard page.  Sounded like fun to me so I gave it a shot.  I love the pics of my granddaughter opening up her presents.  They are very colorful so the blackboard background goes well with them.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year! & MDS Monday 95

It has been a long time since I have participated in a challenge.  But I only have 5 more months until retirement from my job at school.  So excited to be entering a new phase of my life.  One thing I plan to do is put more effort in my card making and Stampin' Up.  And I want to do more challenges!

I had a little time last night while waiting for the ball to drop and created a page for MDS Monday 95.

My granddaughter had a lot of fun opening her gifts this year!  She just turned 2 a few days earlier and so had lots of practice.  

Thanks for stopping by!  I wish you all a very blessed 2015!
