I just Scored 240 cards ....

for a class I am teaching in Nov. .. 240 cards... 12 x 20.. 12 cards.. 20 kits. Why am I scoring them You ask?? ( that is what a Co-worker asked me) My answer: Because I want them to actually finish the 12 cards in the 2 hour time slot. I pre-cut everything, and if Me scoring them the cards for them will help them, then there ya go... Because seriously, how many of us have half finished projects from Conventions, or classes, Projects that we say we will do, and we never do? And I dont want that for the people that pay me money to take My class.. I want them to say, " Hey, we like taking classes with Tami, we leave with a finished project! ".... So again,.. 240 cards just scored... Wine anyone?


At the store today...

a lady came in and said she had never scrapped ,and wanted to do an album for her son, all four years of his Football for High school, ( he is just now a freshman) she wanted to know where to get started. She didnt like the Album I showed her, The fact that it had page protectors was a turnoff for her. She wanted to plop everything of the page and use photo corners . She mentioned having newspaper clippings and was going to laminate them. I told her she should spray them with the Archival spray, so they wont yellow and fall apart, Again, she said she would laminate them.. again I said, Spray them first... She wasnt listening to me. She wanted the album to have more pages, Said that she could fill the whole album with the first year alone, I suggested more than one album, maybe one for each year.. she said no, she wanted one for all four years, and then for college too... ( she must think he is something) .. I left her alone after that, So my question is : Why ask for help if your not going to take it? From someone who knows what they are talking about too no less... Makes no sense to me...

Conversation with Sam tonight when I got home:

Sam : I have shorts on today, its not hot, but I dont care
Me, : I see that Sam, why dont you have pants on, its really cold out:
Sam: Cause, this is what I ... The Sky is Blue mom....

LOL, Where that came from I have no idea, it was like it just hit him, HEY, the SKY IS BLUE!! it was pitched black when he said it to me too.. To be four again, you can have random thoughts and say them outloud, without people thinking you didnt take your meds....
