no self esteem issues here...
From the football field to the stage, how great is that? We managed to catch our boy Alex singing AND dancing on the stage Friday night & it felt so darn good... It seems like just yesterday we were fighting desperately for a school that might provide the kids with enough choices to succeed... Alex's class will be the FIRST graduating class that has gone through NKEC... I'd say it's been a pretty fantastic experience for him! He and Hattem have been friends for a very long time & I think it's great Mr Lugar asked them to be a part of this terrific production of Guys N dolls
...So after all of this I had to get busy for our Pages of 8+2 book club ...our homework was to create a cover using the Maya Road sheer scallop album ( Thanks Gayle!) and I was determined to use something I had learned at Inspired :o) Thanks again Kal for the pencil crayons... they work like a charm!
and Tena for the wonderful black glaze pen! Now I'm "so" off to the gym then Auntie Ria & Auntie Paulette have an appointment with "our Alex" (Freeman) to view her ultra sound
!!! How exciting is that!!!!
Tell me about the black glaze pen. Does it write over nearly everything?

Weeeellll hellllllooo PAULETTE! So happy to have found you because you commented on my blog! HOORAY! Looking forward to seeing you next year at Inspired? I saw dates posted!
Play looked great -- I remember when my husband and I used to attend them....pre-kid. Seems eons ago that we went to plays, but just a day or two ago that the boy was born. Funny how that works, eh?
Did theater in high school, though I was a strictly BEHIND the scenes person. Right on Alex for having the stomach to get right out there!
Love what you did with the clear album -- colors are totally delicious -- HYSTERICAL that it's a recipe album! Good color choice I'd say.

hi, paulette!
inspired was indeed one of the defining moments in my life. seriously. my husband has already agreed to next year so i'm pretty stoked.
LOVE your recipe album. so stinkin' awesome. i've already bought 2 more white pencils and 2 black glaze pens. my daughter can't get enough of them either.
it's the coolest thing that your son was in the play. watch out brad pitt! (:
oh yeah, i also bought some alcohol inks. YIKES. instead of blending them together, i just dropped the ink on the acrylic and let it dry. i liked it MUCH better than the pages i blended. i'm excited to play with them some more but none of my LSS have any acrylic. they're all out.
