Tagged

I've been tagged by my friend Audrey the Awesome Scrapper so instead of tweaking a Power Point presentation for Mondays class on IEP's for children with exceptionalities, I will answer the 5 questions. Coming up with 5 people to tag may take a while.

1. What were you doing 10 years ago? Pretty much the same thing I am doing now: teaching summer classes at the college. I had only lived in my house for a about 4 months so maybe I was doing yard work or other home-ownerly chores.

2. 5 things on today’s To-Do list? 1. Power Point for Monday's class (Chapter 10). 2. Test for the Creative Activities class for Tuesday evening. 3. Grade papers for all 3 classes 4. the only other work related one that is staring at me on the to-do Post-it note is create project folder for the Early Childhood Conference we will be hosting in the Spring. 5. That leaves home chores which are many but at the top is clean out the refrigerator.

3. Snacks I enjoy? most any snack...

4. Things I would do if I were a millionaire? Pay off the mortgage on my little house, and renovate, adding a sun porch and a deck. 2. Send my parents on a trip to Hawaii for their upcoming 50th wedding anniversary 3. get a new car (nothing wrong with the Honda; it's paid for, gets good gas mileage, but why not update?) 4. take a real vacation myself 5. sock it away for retirement (which might come earlier than the 2019 my retirement statement says).

5. Places I have lived? Get comfy... this will be long (Air Force Brat). Born in Goldsboro NC, lived in Goldsboro and Pikeville NC; moved to Fukuoka Japan 1962-1964; Columbus, Mississippi 1964-1969; Omaha, Nebraska (actually La Platte)1969-1972; back to Goldsboro 1972-1973; Ban Chang Thailand 1973-74; back to Goldsboro 1974-1977; Minot, North Dakota 1977-1978; back to Goldsboro 1978-1992. In '92 I moved to Garner to work in Raleigh NC and in 1994 moved back to Goldsboro to teach at the college.

I'll have to think of folks to tag. More on that later.

Beach Scrapping!

I went to Atlantic Beach with some friends this past weekend to scrap! The weather was lousy (rainy & cold) and we never actually went to the beach except to the top of the boardwalk to see the ocean. But scrap we did! And Eat!

Here are some of the layouts I did.

A few Scrapbook Layouts

I scrapped at Paper Playground a couple of times recently and this weekend at home doing a Snow Day weekend online crop with some PP friends. I got no snow but it was fun. We posted some challenges on the Yahoo group. Here are a few recent layouts:

Happy New Year!

Here's to a great 08!

The cards I made

I used a couple of digital card kits from 2Peas. This was my first attempt at making digital photo cards. I also sent out some from Shutterfly, made from the photo of Neely in the cup (no hat or collar on), before purchasing the kits and trying them out.

Next year I am skipping Shutterfly.

Christmas Photo Shoot

A few photos from our Christmas card photo shoot.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The family indulged me in a pre-dinner photo-shoot. It was accomplished via a unique rigging of my camera atop Dad's video camera tripod, secured with rubber bands and using the camera's timer feature.
