It's All Good by Michelle Coleman

I have been a long time fan of Michelle Coleman. Back when she had her own store titled Second Mile Designs, then went to ScrapArtist, and now that she has her store, LittleDreamerDesigns, which she owns with her sister, Lori Barnhurst, formerly of Artist Artist, and ScrapsyDaisy before that! Wow, that is a lot of history! Anyway, she is supertalented and I just love, love, love her designs. Here is a little sampler to whet your creative appetite.

Kindergarten

Today, Liam is supposed to go for Kindergarten orientation, gets to meet his teacher and goes for his first bus ride.

He is so excited...he woke up at 7:30 a.m. I am not so sure that he will be able to start school on Monday as the new school is still under construction.

Kaylie, on the other hand, is disappointed that she won't be able to ride the bus like she did last year. The school, in an effort to save our hard-earned money, (BEING FACETIOUS HERE) will only allow the the kids in Kindergarten to be bused.

We'll see how it goes.

Watercolor Buttons by Bren Boone

First Day of Kindergarten

Remember the kit from Cottage Arts that I showed you this morning (STUDY BUDDY)? Here is my page! BoyIt came together rather nicely, if I say so myself.
Kaylie was excited to start Kindergarten and to meet her new teachers. She was in the “Froggy” class so her room was decorated with all kinds of frogs and fishes. It was a bright, cheerful and fun room. They even had a pet frog!
