Homeroom Mom Duties Call

Somehow, last year (when I wasn't even classroom mom by the way), I was recruited to make scrapbooks for each of the teachers in Ava's classroom. I dedicated 2 pages to each child in her class and included a picture of the student, a thank you letter from the parent, and a drawing from the student and then included a $100 American Gift Card to each teacher. Fortunately, we were able to have 100% participation (because of my "excellent follow up skills" as described by another mother) and collected $25 from each family, which helped pay for the scrapbooks, gift cards, breakfast and flowers during teacher appreciation week.

Anyhow, for those of you that know me, I am pretty novice when it comes to scrap booking. I don't have a creative bone in my body. I am described as a "left brained" person. If you want to read more go to this Scholastics site. However, somehow it turned out to be a fantastic present which lead me to being nominated this year. Of course, I want to try to make it even better this year and in saying that I keep drawing a blank. So lucky for me a friend turned me onto Studio Calico for inspiration. Who knew that there was a world of such beautiful art.

Poor Allan, loses me to another site to be addicted to.
