This Explains It!

...why I haven't been here in 5 days!

Giggle! I can be a moody person. When I am withdrawn, I like to refer to it as "focused". When stressed, I get cranky. And I often need to be away from all others. It has been quite the week at work. Why is it that everything hits all at once? I can't complain too much, because the reality of the situation is that I love my job! Being a special education teacher is the most amazing opportunity and I have learned to find accomplishment and joy in the small things. With that said, this week--yuck!

But February vacation is only hours away and I can't wait! Spring is just around the corner, I can feel it with the longer days and the warmer air. I have taken a few days hiatus from scrapping, so I am looking for to grabbing my stuff and going this upcoming week!

This week wasn't all tough and I have good news to share! I recently applied for a design team position for a new paper company, Marks Paper Company. Their stuff is really cool and very much my style. There were about 200 applicants. They chose 6 designers, and I was not one of them. (My girl Ching was though and I am sooo psyched for her!) However, I was asked to be the guest designer for the month of June! I will take top 12 out of 200--I am getting a little closer right! LOL!
