Crafty Cards and such

Crafty Cards and such

Hey all y’all! I’m working on my Texan-ness.

First, it’s been awhile since I’ve shown off my two favorite men…. so what better than showing two of their pictures off?

What good looking guys?! Who couldn’t love these faces?

Well, life has turned around since my last entry. Funny how little things like that happen at the moments you feel most hopeless. The great news is that I had an interview yesterday that went fantastically well that has led to an interview tomorrow. It’s teaching 7th grade, not high school, but really, the most important thing for me right now is to continue teaching. Plus, I haven’t had as much experience with middle school, so maybe (assuming I possibly get the job) I really will enjoy it more now that it’s my class, not some other sadistic teacher’s. I just feel so lucky that I got these interviews; I really needed that self-esteem boost!

The downside now is 1) if I don’t get hired, and 2) the teaching certification process! They are 6-8 weeks behind, so I had to do some alternate steps to insure that I will at least have a temp license to allow me to teach.

I also have continued trying to be crafty! The ladies in my ward get together every month or two and do a “card camp” where they spend the evening making cards. There are 3 card styles, and we make three of each of those styles, meaning we leave with 9 cute cards! Here are the three cards I made yesterday:

Not too bad, right? I am happy that they turned out so well! and it’s a lot cheaper than buy cards like this in a store… woo hoo! 🙂
