We have just recieved the most fabulous news! My firstborn Ian(7) has won first place in the Young Author's and Illustrators contest for second grade! The contest is open each year to students K-3rd grade, as both a national contest with Reading Rainbow and also in each local television viewing area. Ian's story, Captain Kitten was chosen out of almost 200 entries. We are invited to the WNED studio for an Awards Ceremony in June. Ian has been asked to read from his story, and we are excited to accompany him to this special event. We will have more photos and news for you as we find out more. Congratulations, Ian! We are proud of your diligence to use your gifts in a way that both honors God and delights your readers.
Welcome to my blog. Cozy up with a cup of tea and enjoy some fresh inspiration! I am a happy wife, mother of three boys, director of a dance school, and Independant Consultant with Close to my Heart. Since becoming a consultant a few years ago, my creativity in scrapbooking, stamping and cardmaking has gone to a whole new level. I truly love sharing the know-how and high quality crafting products with friends, old and new. Our philosophy, "Let me show you how" takes the guesswork and frustration out of crafting - so all we're left with is FUN! Visit me here, on facebook, or at any of the links below. I'd love to hear from you!
