First of all, I’d like to explain today’s title. I am beginning today’s blog post at 2:45 pm. It is bright and sunny outside and the temps are in the middle 70 degree range. A far cry from the colder temps we have had in the last few weeks. I am so thankful to see the Sun shine!

When Chad (the smart middle school kid) comes home from school, it will either be a very sad day or a very happy day. You see it is report card day! He has over all been doing very well this year. He *finally* shared some of his graded papers with me last night and over all his grades on those papers were good. I am hoping for another honor roll report card to come home with him today.

If you are wondering, I do hold my children to high standards. When I was growing up, it was kinda left to the kid to study and do homework. I was not really encouraged to greatness. I refuse to raise my kids that way. I feel that it my duty (and honor) as a mom to encourage, push and ultimately mold these young people of mine to greatness.

I will be posting a post script to the bottom once Chad comes home from school.

Today I worked on these beautiful altered post-it holders for a swap on split coast. I used the pink pirouette paper from Stamping up, my bind it all machine with pink binding wires. I do not remember where I found the little bug stamp but it felt springy. I covered two 4″ coasters with the designer paper. I also used the Spellbinders nestabilities for the two labels on top of the front cover. Of course, I added a bit of glitter.

For those of you who are asking about Craig. His final test is Monday, April 27,2009, hopefully he won’t mess up again and he will graduate on Tuesday and possibly fly home on Wednesday. Please pray for him. He is a bit nervous after failing the test previously. He is looking forward to a weekend with class mates and doing some mini-golf.

Now to sit and wait — the word is . . . . He did it!!!!! Go Chad!
Stamp Happy!
