Parent/Teacher Intrview tonight!!

Posted on

My first ever Parent/Teacher night. I asked Holly what her teacher is going to tell me (just in case there are any little surprises) and she said “that I am a good girl and stay on task”. I am predicting the following will come up:

1. Holly does not hold the pencil correctly
2. Holly can be a chatterbox
3. Holly is a good reader (ie she has a good memory)
4. Holly has a nice friendship group
5. Holly needs more confidence
6. Holly can stay on task!

I’ll report tomorrow on how many I get right! Gee, I am a bit nervous 😉

When I picked her up today she had a huge bandaid on her knee – a morning tea injury, which is probably just a small graze but is causeing her to limp and need pampering. I asked her teacher if she had been brave and she told me that Holly was indeed brave becasue I was a doctor and would look after her. She thinks and thus tells everyone I am an Ear doctor, but I’m really just a retired audiologist. I think she is proud of me 🙂


A Tag

Thanks Rachie for the tag.
I actually found this really hard, cause I haven’t been scrapping all that long and it isn’t such an obsession for me that I know all the names of the papers and products. I’ guess I’m a newbie stil! Anyway, here is my best shot…..l

What scrapbook lines/products, etc. do you dislike?
Put it this way – I love bright colourful things, alphabets of any kind and rub-on quotes. I don’t really dislike anything I suppose.

What is the hardest thing you have ever had to scrap?
Baby pics of the kids – some are so precious I don’t want to wreck them!

What technique do you use more than anything else?
I am a ribbons fanatic – there is a ribbon on every LO somewhere.

What is the smallest scrap of paper you save?
I chuck anything that is smaller than business card size, but I save every skeric of ribbon.

Have you ever had any scrapbook related injuries?

I have sore muscles today from moving all my supplies into the garage/rumpus room where I have set up a little corner with a desk and shelves – does that count?

Finish this sentence, “If I wasn’t a scrapbooker/stamper, I would
spend my money on…”

Clothes, wine and parties/entertaining.

Give us your best storage or organizational idea.
I have a filing cabnit on wheels that I can pull close to me to find all my things or push away when I’ve got what I want. My MIL gave it to me and it has been a great storage item.

You just won a week long scrapbooking cruise for 5. Who is going with
you?

Hmmm – I’m sure my scrapping friends would understand if I asked them to mind my kids, while I took Justin with me on the cruise!!

When you received your first publication notification, who did you
tell? And if you are not yet pubbed, who will be the first person you
share the news with?

Rach of course, then Moi and my Mum and sisters and then I’d blog it cause that would be very exciting. I’ve only ever submitted once and was rejected, so maybe sometime in the future I’ll give it another go 🙂

Now I tag Moi to give this a go!
