I hope you will pop over to the Stamp Man challenge blog and take a look at the fabulous inspiration from the team and hopefully enter the challenge. Don't forget Jill kindly donates a £10.00 voucher to the winner who is chosen by the DT and if you take a look at the on-line shop there is free P&P over £20.00. Such a good deal.
Well it's the end of my first full week back at work and it is so strange being a head again after four years doing other things. It is lovely to have my own school and to have a group of staff and children that you see every day, to build relationships and get to know well. It's very different to my last school where there were nearly 400 hundred pupils - here there are less than 90. Let's see how it goes next week.
Take care and have a good weekend..
luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox

This is beautiful, I too love greens. I used to go to a school with only 80-90 pupils and it was great, I'm sure you will love it x
ReplyDeleteHave the colour scheme - greens just seem to be so right sometimes, as this is, and others don't weem to work.

Hi Brenda
ReplyDeleteI've just been reading about all your new and axciting projects. It sounds like life is certainly a full one for you. I hope you enjoy every minute. Good Luck with it all.
I always look on the DT post every fortnight and always feel so inadequate when I see you projects. They are absolutely stunning and this is no exception. I love the greens and your stamping is amazing. You are one talented lady.
