It's Been Awhile

Dear Blogland,

It's been awhile since I posted. I've been rather busy. Since I last posted, I have:

had 3 job interviews
been offered 2 teaching jobs
flew to Oregon
went to the coast
played bridesmaid for Miss Nicole
watched two lovely people get married
played with little Miss E and her mama
flew home
ran a million and five errands
spilled water on my cell phone
thanked Shawn for fixing said cell phone
made a million phone calls
said good bye to lots of kids

...and about a million other things that I will gradually update. Don't want to share too much about the new job, as I'm not officially hired yet due to some technical difficulties. Stay tuned. In the mean time, here are some pictures from the foggy Oregon coast for you to enjoy.

Loving the launch of Simply ArTistiC today. My friend Angie has started this fun new challenge site for ATC's and I'm thrilled to be a part of it. The theme right now is Alice in Wonderland. Here's my card for prompt #1:


Wishing you a Happy August!
