When a BAD week turns into an EXCELLENT one!!!

Don't you love it when a bad week ends well! The kind of well where you scream in delight!!! It has been one of those weeks! making you read the whole post to find out why I screamed with joy!!!!

Reports have been killing me! I am working part time but carrying a FULL TIME work load. The new format and the need to comment on every KLA has been a real drag, then once mine were finished the marking of the 3 people I supervise began! I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel and only have one class set to go.

THEN just to make me earn my money it was our schools 25th birthday this week. So there was lots of things to be done - time capsules, photos, food, displays and games! By Thursday the kids were climbling the walls (luckily my day OFF)! Then Firday a staff birthday function and heaps of work to take home this weekend for Semester 2 planning and programming! It is never ending but if i get though it all tomorrow night i can REST in the holidays!

the week was crazy due to Max's eye teeth cutting, MASSIVE piles of washing, massive piles of ironing, lack of sleep, a STY in my EYE (EWWW!!!) and Darren working back as he is SOOO flat out! I have had hardly any sleep as I was staying up late to get reports done and squeeze housework in!

Then came the news that Scrapabout was going to be closing! I nearly cried! I have REALLY enjoyed attending classes there this year! Leanne really catered for advanced scrappers and has some talented teaching staff! It is such a sucessful store and she has worked so hard! I am really going to miss it. All the best Leanne and i sooo respect you for your decision! It would break my heart to close the doors on what you have.

the week started to pick up yesterday! I had the pleasure of doing a guest teaching spot at ALL ABOUT SCRAPBOOKS. Vanessa and Katrina are so funny and it was so nice to teach at their store! It reminded me how much i loved scrapbook teaching. YES i miss it in sooo many ways but not in so many others! They are having a big sale next week so pop in (link in side bar!).

THEN at about 3.50 yesterday the hard week i had turned MUCH better and it made me SQUEAL, it made me sooo HAPPY. I even rang Alison and instead of saying hello i screamed!!!!!

DRUM ROLL

I have been selected to be on the KSK design team! WOW i am soo happy! KSK has been my home for 3 years! I have made life long friends at KSK who make me laugh and giggle every day! We love to challenge each other, teach each other and CHAT!!!!! This has not only made my week it has made my year! So pop on over to see the gallery and be inspired by all the talent KSK has to offer! I can't wait to see everyone in October - have the drinks on ice Sal!!! We are celebrating our birthdays together!

Today I had the pleasure of going to scrapabout to say a farewell to Leanne and do Jen Hall's class. It was a great class and Jen's daily scrapping journal is SOOO cool. It was great to see it and i will do one soon i promise! I love the project I started and will finish it in the holidays.

Oh more news came in today - I have been asked to teach at a retreat in August at Meroo. More details shortly! It is the weekend of the 10th to the 12th and only costs $150 for wonderful food and a cozy location!

I am about to finish a massive pile of school work - I estimate I will finiah about 1am BUT i dont care as I am NOW HAPPPPPPYYYYYYYY!!!!!! and this week could not be worse than last week - COULD IT????
