Some More Photos

 Marshall Faulk (from the St. Louis Rams) came and spoke at my school because our school won a huge ($15,000!!) grant from Fuel Up and Play 60!

Photo Review

My delightfully chocolate sundae (Dark & Sinister) at The Fountain on Locust.

Medieval day for the 6th graders...knights are awesome!

At the end of my FOURTH Color Run! 

Six Flags with the 8th graders.

All were cards I made for a surprise swap (raffle style).  The person receiving does not know which item they are getting from the 20 or people in the swap.  I know who I mailed these to, but I do not know what I am receiving or who it is from until I receive it.  These were all made using scraps! :)

Phinally Photos!

i am hopping on the photo a day bandwagon!  i will be taking them on my phone & posting them on facebook...if nothing else, i will have those photos of this year!  i plan on doing a 12x12 page for each month or week with just the photos and a brief "caption" for each...now i just need to find the most cost effective way to print photos from instagram!
