Scrapbooking and Testing

on February 19, 2010

102 I am super excited! I just ordered over 100 pictures to scrap with on Saturday. I’m sure I already have 100 lying around the house, but I’m going to get some layouts done this weekend. I am determined.

I am putting all my trepidations aside and jumping in with both feet on 12×12 layouts. The only way to get good at something is to try, right?

Speaking of trepidations, thanks to all the wonderful support you gave me on my worries yesterday. I completed the application process today, so now we wait to hear for our testing date.

I have to admit we’re practicing a little.

081 Dad: Let’s hear those ABC’s!

Manchild: A, B, C, D, E, F, Geeee, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O…Jayyyy. (Smirk.)

Great. The mischievous side of him is wreaking havoc on his poor worried parents. What if he does that during the testing? We know he knows his ABC’s, but the testing lady is going to think he doesn’t know them and may jump to the wrong conclusion.

But I can’t help but laugh at our little imp. So I gently tell him that when the lady asks him to say his ABC’s, he needs to do them right.

Immediately, he sings his best rendition yet. Good job! Thumbs up. Thumbs up is a big thing in our house.

So anyway, I’ll keep you posted on the testing, and I hope to show you lots of layouts on Monday.

Thanks for reading and lending me support when I need it. You are great!

    I can’t believe you’re afraid to do 12 x 12 layouts….with your creativity they are sure to be masterpieces. I can’t wait to see what you make on Saturday.
