First full week of school and we are all exhausted!! Figuring out routines to settle in to, attending meetings, signing kids up for courses in our little Outreach world, wondering *who* forgot to order much-needed textbooks (not me...that falls on shoulders broader than mine), deciding what other materials are required; attending more meetings, navigating through computer glitches (which is most hilarious, given that 'techie savvy' and Carol ought not to appear in the same sentence), and...you get the picture. From chaos emerges order, as I'm told, but no one says exactly 'when' that may be! In the midst of it all, I'm having way, way too much fun: much to be said for being surrounded by youthful energy!! Still...bring on October - not because I'm wishing away time, but because by then, we *should* know what we're doing. Sort of.
Since 'back to school' IS where I'm at, playing with the CAS-ual Fridays Back to School challenge
had to happen. Once again, my TAWS Learning Curve set has made an appearance. The 'reading, writing and 'rithemtic' images seemed 'just right' (I nearly wrote 'just write' Yikes!!) for Wanna Sketch #8.
The background paper is a Little Yelow Bicylce school patterned paper pad - and I've nearly used it all up with my recent school creations. Perhaps it's time to look at papers for Fall...Thanksgiving...Halloween...
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit adds sparkle to my days!
Oooooo, I love your take on the sketch! Don't you just love how Paper Smooches just makes everything cuter??? Thank you SO much for playing along with wanna sketch, you made my day!
