It has been a great school year!! After my TERRIBLE first year, this second year has been such a turn around...I am so thankful for this incredible blessing. Thank God for Lee Gruss and her recommendation that I fill her position since she was leaving. It has been a wonderful experience and I have learned so much. This time last year, I was so checked out. This year, I was excited to come back after spring break and begin the 4th quarter. I still cant believe it is that time of the school year. Crazy. After all that negativity last year, it is nice to be around so many positive people and positive things. And for those of you wondering about my principal from last year...he put in his resignation after Christmas break this year. He (finally) admitted that "this isnt the job for me" and he said he missed teaching. Whatever. The world is a better place that he came to that realization.
Anyway, I worked for Archivers last summer and into the fall. Eventually, I had to quit. With teaching, my grad classes and Archivers, it was just too much. But, while I was working there, I learned about this super cool new technique that focuses on color blending. LOVE IT! All I used was a minerals based liquid and some colored pencils. Woot! I stamped this image and used the Gamsol (minerals liquid) to color blend. I really like the finished product this gives.
The process can be fairly time consuming but I think it is worth it. I would like to say that I would use this for a Christmas card or something...but we will see. I need to start making my cards NOW if I plan on using the Gamsol for every card.
