Sew Unexpected: Dare to Get Dirty Challenge

Happy Tuesday! Slightly freaking out here, so much to do still before I leave for the Stampin' Up! Convention tomorrow! I should have lots of cool new stuff to share soon! But for now, here's a quick card I did for the Splitcoast Dare to Get Dirty Sew Unexpected Challenge...this one was hosted by the super sweet Bev Rousch and you had to sew. Easy peasy, right?! I broke out my Janome Mini and tried to sew around my star...not so easy, lol! But here it is anyway, crooked and all!


Now, for the super good news from my school luncheon yesterday. We were supposed to have a new building, but it wasn't going to be ready, so we were going to have to be in an old building I am not fond of and a large number of classes were going to be in portables. The new building was going to be ready at Christmas, and we would move in then (so much for Christmas break!).

Well, lucky for me since I'm teaching 2nd grade this year, the grades pre-K through 2nd, are going back to our old building (125 year old church) that I love! It has fresh paint and new carpet and I have a ginormous classroom all to myself! And we signed a year lease, so no moving during Christmas break, we'll just move into the new building next year. So I'm thrilled, that power of positive thinking really works, huh?!


Before I go, here's a little sneak peek of the Artisan Award dinner swaps I've been working on...nothing like a little pressure swapping with Shelli, Brent, and nine other Artisan Award winners, yikes! lol!



Hope you're having a great day! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!
