Last sketch for August


So I will be honest I threw this one together! BUT I do like how it turned out. Thanks Sassy Lil Sketches for the easy breezy sketch! My life has gotten crazy, with good stuff yes, but crazy! I was accepted to take the intermediate Copic Certification class (which to me is a big deal) I have been asked to teach a doodling class at a community college and Locally teach at a monthly kit club. To top it off I think I have been offered a position site unseen at two local Micheal’s stores if I want it. I am VERY unsure on the Micheal’s so i am not jumping in yet but it is always amazing the rain/pour effect of life!

The girls are GREAT! School is great dance started this week and that is great, life is just so good. This is where John and I always look at each other and say hope we are not being so blessed and being prepped for a big downward swing. We feel beyond loved these days.

John and I are both getting lots of riding in yesterday I rode 20 miles with him and he rode 40 more. Monday I rode 40 by myself Woo Hoo me!

And They’re Off!

So the first day finally arrived and we dropped off our beautiful Sara right on time to her second grade teacher. She was as cute as a button and looking quite grown up.

Because Lori is going to full day Kindergarten she gets a separate drop off time for the first two days. She was more than ready to say I am good to go Mom! She towered over the little boy next to her. Don’t mess with my girl! She too looked beautiful and very grown up! Yikes how did that happen?!


And finally here is a page I squeezed in late last night! Wonderful sketch from Sassy Lil Sketches again Thanks Ladies!

I am finally official!

Well after a few months of teaching Copic tutorials on-line I am now official! This weekend I got to attend a Copic certification class and now I am officially representing their product. I am pretty excited since I really do like the product. I am hoping to do some live classes locally and at the certification class met Nancy a wonderful lady who organized the certification class at the community classes and found out she has taken my Doodling class! What a small world! She would like me to come to Lincoln next spring to teach a day of doodling! I am thrilled and look forward to visiting with her more.

The trip over all was a huge success. We all visited the Omaha Zoo on the way to Lincoln which was AMAZING! Then the girls and Dad did the hotel pool and the Lincoln zoo while I was in class. We stopped at Cabella’s on the way back through Omaha to top it all off. Quite the 2 day whirlwind event. Now we are wavering between days with heat index in the 110 plus and wild thunderstorms bringing LOTS of flooding at night.

Here are the threesome at the tail end of our trip late Saturday, they did great!


Hugs all!

Sunday

Well the weekend has come and gone and we have had much fun. The girls earned passes to the local water park through the library reading program so we got to try out the water fun for free! Much fun was had there even though Lori is still a 1/2 inch shy of riding the bigger slides. We sneaked on one anyway he he. I escaped for a couple hours to scrap with my local scrapping buddies, thanks Susan and Megan! I managed to finish my last sketch of the month from Sassy Lil’ Sketches.

Today was church and lunch at Famous Dave’s. It is Dave’s Birthday so all those with the first or middle name get some free food so of course we were amongst the hoards. It was quite funny seeing all these grown men running around with their “Hi My Name is Dave” name tags on. Got the groceries done, picked a large bowl of tomatoes of our vines, napped and now while John hits some white balls I will attack the lawn. Good Weekend!

Hugs all!
