plenty to say

one of the reasons i was hesitant to start a blog is that i wasn't sure what i would write about. well, that really hasn't been a problem. so far, at least.

so i'm trying to decide whether i should tell you about the handmade cards and tags class i taught last week, the marathon crop and sweet tooth kit club, the marching band performance at the football game friday night, the pages i made this weekend, the fun and games going on with the fiskateers, or the softball game today. hmmm.

since i like to include photos with my posts, i'll choose the topics i have the best photos of. more than one topic per post? sure, why not?!

my class was at the senior center, and we had a good time. the ladies were all friendly and seemed to enjoy making everything. since i'm not teaching at the scrapbook store i have to plan carefully and double-check that i have everything we might need. there's no teacher's closet to check or store up front to get what i have forgotten. this time i forgot 3 small silver brads. it didn't make a huge difference in the project, but i noticed it. i need to channel my friend Shelly m. she is the most organized scrap teacher i know and i bet she would have remembered the small silver brads!

here's a peek at what we made:


i named this one "Connie's favorite card"


i really like this one.

my friends Shelly and Cindy have started a new venture, "sweet tooth scrapbooking". you can visit them here: http://www.sweettoothscrapbooking.com be sure to click on crop registrations to find all about the fantastic marathon crop coming in october. it will be 29 straight hours of scrapping - can you last that long??!!!

i have to include a couple pics from the marching band last friday night. the weather was so perfect and they sounded and looked amazing! their theme this year is "guitar hero". such great songs!

here's the drum line:


and, just because i like to take random photos, here's a random shot:
