Back to School...

Hard to believe

summer is almost over--

and soon the school bells will be ringing!

I am teaching our groupies this month

so I put my thinking cap on

pulled out some old papers

added some new stamps...

and I think I came up with

an A+ project

(I might be a wee bit biased tho--

so tell me what you think! ; )  )

Here's the 2-page layout...

close up of the first page

(yep, that's my "self portrait!")

Books on the shelf--

and my stack of self-help books/daily devotionals...

There's hidden journaling behind that photo...

Here's the second page--

behind that bow is a fold-out accordion book!

Here's the front of the little book...

colored with Copics

and the inside pages...

If you've not read

Wind Says Good Night

you need to!

The illustrations are ADORABLE!

I had a HORRIBLE time learning to read

when I was younger---

my mother and I spent hours upon hours reading

(or my trying to!)--using flash cards and phonics

it was pure torture for both of us...

but I distinctly remember that the turning point for me

was a book called

Lemonade Serenade or The Thing in the Garden.

Sadly, it is out of print--

but I scored an old, used library copy off Amazon

a few years back!



I included a list of my favorite "adult" authors as well...

and "signed out" my creation!

Here's the backside of that last page that folds in...

Hmmm...need to add something there...

Well, that's it for today's lesson!

My class kits are all ready to go for my students

on Tuesday of next week.

Until next time,

HAPPY READING

stamping and scrapping!

Blessings,
