A better day today...

Hi All

Well...a better day today at work....couldn't have got much worse to be quite honest! Have had quite a nice day today actually. We have had the Year 6 pupils in as they have been taking part in a couple of taster days. I taught an English lesson and a Citizenship lesson and they were fab! They even thanked me as they went out the room and wanted to come and speak to me when they were on their lunch...so sweet....unfortunately not likely to last when they come up to big school in September! Lol! I have often thought I would love to teach the top end of Primary and have looked around at Middle Schools as I really enjoy teaching this age group...I think the one thing holding me back is my love for teaching Media Studies at GCSE (and hopefully I will teach it to A-Level one day!) Anyway....perhaps my pondering needs to wait until another post!

Back to craft....well I have just made the one card tonight but I really enjoyed making it. I would like to enter this into the Winter Wonderland challenge which is 'Red and Green must not be seen' (title says it all!), the Penny Black Challenge which is 'Christmas in July' and the Cute Card Thursday challenge which is to include some lace on your card. I have used this gorgeous little Penny Black hedgehog...he is so cute and I decided to put him on an angle as if he was jumping through the air catching his snowflakes! I have also used some blue lace that I have recently purchased, a Forever Friends 'Hugs and Kisses' sentiment sticker, Forever Friends Christmas paper from last year as well as some really cute crochet flowers from The Works....they have loads of different colours so definitely worth a look.

That is it for now...I am hoping to make a couple more cards tomorrow and I have just realised that I didn't post my cupcake boxes I made for a friend's ribbon so will make sure I post this over the next couple of days!

Another mad day at work tomorrow so hoping it goes well...fingers crossed! Can't wait till our review is over...Friday please come quickly!

Will try to do some blog hopping over the next few days too....I really do appreciate you visiting me though and promise I will come and visit you...it just may take me a few days!

Hugs
