Since then I have been looking forward to it....really looking forward. Well last night was the night. I walk in and I am the only one in the class. Bummer because I was looking forward to meeting new people but hey at least the teacher can answer my questions right away and this won't take all night.
So we start and I think this is awesome. I love scrapbooking (even though I'm about 3 yrs behind but that's not the point) and this was kind of playing off that love. First and second card went great and then 3 was a little annoying. Then the dreaded 4th. First she had me color and blend the leaves....ok this was NO fun. I couldn't get it to look like hers and it was driving me nuts. Then we had to stamp and emboss....well I felt like a 4 yr old. First time I didn't press hard enough, second time you couldn't read it because I put on too much ink and pressed too hard. Finally I said can you just do it and ohhhh I'm running out of time so I'm going to skip the last card. She decided to do the last one while I finished embossing what she stamped :-)
It was fun but I really thought I would just LOVE it and want to buy every product to do it at home....nope. That's probably a good thing...lol. I think I might try though one more time because I do love the finished products......
Those leaves were my enemy last night!
My favorite one
Ha - you have me totally laughing. I can just picture you getting so frustrated! I LOVE the pumpkin one- pumpkins are totally my thing...my favorite theme in preschool, my favorite fall decorations...and guess what?! There are no pumpkins in Ukraine :(
ReplyDeleteHow many hours until your benefit?! We're praying like crazy - all the way in Ukraine :) Can't WAIT to hear that grand total!!!!!
Hi Juli!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog through Following His Lead. We are also adopting a little boy with DS from China through WACAP!! Actually, we are working on bringing two boys home. The older one was not born with "designer genes" but we are just as excited to be adding him to our family as well. :) Our boys will be coming home to 3 brothers(the youngest of which also has DS) and 2 sisters and our kiddos could not be more excited. We are currently waiting on our Article 5 and then Travel Approval and are hoping to make our way to China before the end of the year. I am so thrilled for you and your family and will be praying for the rest of your process to be FAST! Godspeed and God bless!
In Him,
Nikole
