Gulp.

Note the time on my Yukon's clock Wedenesday morning. You'll soon see why.

Note the number of piles of school clothes.

Do you see a pattern here? Did you count the number of lunchboxes? For the very first time in my 9 plus years of being a mother, I was alone. All of our children were in school for the first time. Even when I only had 2 or 3 kids, there was always a baby (or 2) at home while the Bigs were enjoying school. Not this year. Not as of Wednesday September the 8th, 2010 at 8:24 am. Three days a week I have my mornings all to myself. Crazy, I tell ya. So many people told me I wouldn't know what to do with myself. Boy were they right. Even though I've had a To Do List as long as my arm for the last several years, I found myself wandering the house from one chore to the next. This will take some getting used to. I'll keep you updated on my progress as I get into my new, new routine. Yet again.

Lots of scrappiness to share. this first one I did for one of my own challenges from my Scrap That Vacation crop at Simply Obsessed. The challenge was to scrap a piece of epherma.

Studio Calico love...

Snuck out two weeks ago and took a couple of classes at CKC Virginia Beach. Love, loved, loved Candice Stringham's DSLR class. Studio Calico's Masking and Misting Class taught by a local girl (Nicole Samuels) was messy and fun. And there was Sass involved. Sigh. Here's what we made...

Lots more to share. Hope to be back to share the rest later this weekend.
