...how quick a week goes by!...

...Saturday night all ready! Had loads going on this week...RECAP :p ...Did lots towards getting the show ready...buying costumes...sewing black elastic...designing tickets...ordering medals (an getting a new Tinkerbell design key cut while we where there :p) ...Just have to go over what everyone is doing and check who needs what help tomorrow and then its will be rehearsals weds and thurs and bam show Friday! exciting stuff! (Had a crazy idea that came to me in Asda to dress a dance as though the dancers had just woke up and were dancing in their nightmare hence them all wearing pjs that have been ripped up and zombified :) cheap and easy! ..Dave took graduation card in and I ended up with card orders for best teacher (boys and girls) and also graduation cards (boys and girls) so I got them all ready and Dave took them back in that day :) ...the lady who ordered the graduation card sent a really nice email through the website which was nice!!! I'd just like to thank you for the fantastic graduation card you made for me. My daughter will be thrilled on the day. She has always made beautiful, funny cards for me and others and a lot of thought goes into them and I know she will be tickled pink by your card and I'm delighted to have a special one for her. I am SO pleased with it. The girl is just right, the dog looks so like our spaniel, the colours in the gown are exactly right and the origami cranes are marvelous! Thank you SO much for a perfect card. I will be recommending you to all my friends, Julia I feel really good I made something that someone loved so much! I got a new order for 2 bespoke cards for 2 teachers... they want big cards for the pupils to sign so its going to be a bit of a challenge! I made a Brownie card for the brownies and also a card for an old lady :)I got a new phone which is touchscreen so I am finding it tricky to figure out! Had a bbq in the park with guiding...lots of games and the unveiling of the centenary stone. Went on a school trip on Thursday to a language festival!!! Rather inspiring!!! Ended up on a mini road trip to Manchester to help bring a friends car home! ...went to a "beach party" on Friday night in a pub :) but ended up going to watch Eclipse again!!! So much better second time around... Tired now so back laters ...ps I took the kids cards down I did them for their birthdays... I really like them :)

I think Team Jacob may just be in the lead! watched all 3 movies on Friday! even though Eclipse didn't finish until 2.30 am I was too hyped an lovin it to be tired! Cant wait to go and see it again next weekend! (My visual Theory classes keep popping into my head when I watch a film now... we had a session where the tutor Lewis talked about how a movie works using stuff a guy called TODOROV. Its really interesting an I come up with ways to write my books and stories better. Cool link worked on and finally finished the card using origami birds it was a graduation card! I also made a footballer card for a West Ham fan! ...Saturday we had a summer party at my lil brother Micks house... I had to make some new card designs because my sister Tarryn passed her driving test, Mick won a Boxing match and I hadn't seen my grandad or my Nephew Mason for their birthdays :) ...had a really nice time because I LOVE family get togethers! ...B.O.S.S went well today...worked with groups 1 and 2 on their individual pieces for the show.
