Back to School Card

Good Morning,
Today I will be sharing a "Back to School" simply cute card.  It was inspired by my son who is now in 7th grade.  We recently moved from So Cal. to San Antonio Texas!  My son began his first day in a NEW SCHOOL on 8/26/2013. My son's Reading Teacher, Mrs. Castro, e-mailed me yesterday, 8/28/13, and Oh Lord Jesus, when I read the Subject Line I immediately handed my celly to hubby, thinking "oh my he is going to have a difficult year already." The teacher's e-mail was actually an awesome one.  It's only been four days since he began attending Kitty Hawk Middle School and this is what the e-mail said:

"Good Afternoon,

                I am Jose’s Reading teacher Mrs. Castro. I just wanted to welcome you guys to a great new year of 7^thgrade! I can already tell that Jose has a good head on his shoulders by his conversations in class! I am very excited to see what he brings to my seventh period class! Yesterday he gave a speech to his peers about going to college! I am very impressed with how he thinks! I will keep in touch throughout the year!

Have a great evening,

Amanda D. Castro

Kitty Hawk Middle School"


It's an awesome feeling knowing that OUR rants and Raves about the Importance of his Education and always Aiming High in all he does is not falling on Deaf Ears. I am truly Blessed to have such a smart, sweet young man as my son.  So this Little Back to School Card was inspired by Mrs. Castro and My Son.

Back To School

Hello Everyone!

We all LOVE our children, and though at times the summers seem Longer than others, there is no better feeling than sending your Kiddos off to school. LOL Today was the first day of 7th and 5th Grade for my kiddos, and since we relocated to a whole new city and State, ( San Antonio, Texas)  well I have been pretty busy unpacking over 150 boxes, setting up our new home, getting kids set up in school and transferring billing information to our new address! My crafting corner was the last to be set up, so I was only able to make a couple if bookmarks for my Princess! The bookmarks are a surprise and my Princess does not know that I secretly placed them in her pencil pouch along with a personal card I made her.  Though I am Happy that school started I will admit that the house feels empty with out them.
