Supreme Team Final Round

What? You say you're suprised to hear from me again so soon? Well, what can I say. I received the kit for Round 4 of the Supreme Team Competition yesterday.
























It's Savannah by Veronica Hurly, found here: http://www.godigitalscrapbooking.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_dnld_info&products_id=2090&zenid=d195094fece893f771af29b35afc39a6


Finished up my layout (after tweaking and tweaking some more). Thought I better send it in before I drive myself batty...maybe I can get something else done now. Tomorrow is the last day of school. I have all these great intentions. I plan on implementing the "Camargo Anti-Boredom Program." The kids can all pick homemaking skills that they want to learn, and they will have "instruction" in those skills, along with daily reading, gardening, and cleaning, to get us through the summer. I think Sophia has chosen "sew a skirt" and Alanna is DYING to get her hands on my digital scrapbooking kits. Awwww! The rest of them haven't chosen, although Gabby excels at folding washcloths, so I think she'll get to skip that catagory altogether. They all are fully aware that if they say the "B" word (bored) they'll be assigned another job, to help them out. (Isa asked a little girl in her class today if she gets jobs for saying the "B" word. LOL)

More soon......

I have sooo much to tell you.....

Ok, so I know, I know. You think maybe I've forgotten about my blog. Au contrare mon frare, as my pop would say. The thing is, I've been so darn busy!! I hear what you're thinking!! (Same song, different verse.) Maybe, but let me run it down for you. Just after my last entry, I decided to sign up for the Supreme Team competition at godigitalscrapbooking.com. I am having a BALL!! I'm kind of new to the whole online thing, but it's a lot of fun and I'm meeting a lot of people. I've also discovered that I was out of line in giving Mario a hard time about his OCD tendancies. He's not the only one who can obsess!!
I've made it through Round 1:





















(Great kit by Christy Skaggs called SpringBling found here: http://www.godigitalscrapbooking.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_dnld_info&products_id=1863 )

Round 2:



















(Really fun and versatile kit by AmyLeigh Fennell found here: http://www.godigitalscrapbooking.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_dnld_info&products_id=2007 )


and am waiting to hear on Round 3:




I also was invited to join the Creative Team at One Memory At A Time (yes, I know this sounds familiar. It's the Designer of the kit I used in my round three submission.) This is so exciting for me. I can't wait to get started!

The kids are nearly out of school and I'm jumping up and down with joy. Probably until June 7 or 8th and then I'll be anxious for them to be back in again. Side note....Alanna made it into the Spanish Immersion Program and I am over the moon. Mario's thrilled, as well, because the teacher is a native Spaniard (they are such snobs about their spanish :-) and says she'll be learning the REAL thing. I'm just happy she's going to learn.
In addition, we've had Ellie, Isa, and Alanna in soccer this spring. Sooo much fun, and sooooo busy. Running here and there to games and practices. See, no wonder I haven't updated my blog. Anyway, I expect you'll see me more, and hear more about my doings with One Memory At A Time, and hopefully GoDigitalScrapbooking, as well.
Until next time......
