WOYWW - A little of this, a little of that and some good news

Good morning to all the WOYWWers As you can see it is still very dark outside. Seeing that it is mid winter over here, I suppose I have to live with that. You will see not much has changed since last week, I am still in marking mode. Thankfully this is the last lot of exams that I will have to mark. I have moved from the dining room table to the couch in front of the heater. If you look closely you will see the boxes that contains the light fittings that is going to go on my stoep.

I have had to take some time to do some craftyness. Firstly because these darling first graders came to my classroom door to ask for cards (they were literally shaking in their little boots, they were so scared to come into the High School) Their teacher is having a baby and they wanted some invitations for a Stork Party that they are organising for her as a surprise on the last day of school. Now how could I say: 'Go away, I am busy' to that I ask you? I just had to do it for them/

 I used a Sugar Nellie Adorables image (just LOVE those) Papers, flowers, bling and ribbon all came from my stash. I had to make 5 and here they are all together.

 The good news you ask? Well, apart from being almost finished with the dreaded marking, I finally got published! To some of you this may not be a big thing, but for me it has been a dream come true! One of my cards that I made for a swap on the RSA Stampers group was published in one of our local craft magazine (actually our only craft magazine LOL) Such a thrill to see my name in print!

 Mine is the pink one with the Magnolia fairy.
Have a fantastic day everybody, I am not picking my head up today untill I am done with those exam papers! So I hope to visit some of you tomorrow.
