Hi ho, hi ho, it’s back to work I go.

Well, how did everyone enjoy the first day back to school, hmm? For me, it wasn’t such a happy occassion – it marked the end of my blissful scrapping holiday, and the return to the every day activity of planning lessons, programming, dealing with all the politics that comes with working in a school, and of course teaching. There’s a huge dilemma about my classroom … or rather lack of one! But I’m not going to get into that here – too depressing!!

Over the last week of the school holidays, I scrapped up a storm, baby! Lots and lots of lo’s, including some monthly and DT challenges from Little Scrapbook Shop, and lots of lo’s just for fun. I might just save some time – almost EVERYTHING I scrapped on the weekend used My Mind’s Eye Bohemia papers and embellishments … I’m so in love with them, I can’t even tell you!

Here are as many of the lo’s that blogger will let me upload today … please be good little blogger!

Ok, so it’s letting me show you 5 – I’ll upload some more later on.

So, the really exciting news … Kieran started highschool, and after the initial misgivings (he was almost sick with nerves the day before) he LOVES it! He is really in his element – he’s totally loving maths, and his History teacher is a little blown away by his level of knowledge I think. So all is good on that front … I think I’m over the “I’m not ready for my son to be going to high school” phase. It’s kind of good teaching a year 7 class actually, as I can live vicariously through them, and have some kind of an insight into what my son is experiencing.

Ok, I’m off to get some work done – take care, everyone, and give your kids a big HUGE hug … they grow up way too quickly!!

She/her. On Whadjuk Noongar land. NSWPRC Officer, Teacher Librarian, English teacher and social media advocate. I've been teaching in Western Sydney for my entire teaching career, and love my job more than I love Neil Gaiman. (That's a lot, in case you're wondering!) I stalk authors (but always politely), fangirl over books, and drink coffee. And one of my guilty prides about my children is that they all have favourite authors. All opinions are my own.
