Yikes

I have been organizing...yikes!  I must say that it is very eye opening when one sees how much fabric and books I have....almost a hoarder!  Yikes!

Book fair started Friday and it makes for a very tiring day.   We have it all this week and I stay open on Monday until 6pm for the parents...conferences.  We do well during this time.
I had a 4th grade teacher ask me if I liked book fair.  Hmmmm. I said I liked it for the technology we can purchase for the school (so far 2 smartboards and 1 mimio); getting the books kids want in their hands; meeting parents who only can volunteer for book fair times (great peeps!); and choosing books we are going to earn for the media center...free!
Then I said...it is a lot of work and if one has never done it before they do not have a clue what goes into it.  This is fine...when it runs smoothly, it is better that way.
I have been working on a bom...well 2 actually.  I get bored of one and go to the other.  I did have a 3rd going, but somehow I messed it up and need to think and figure out what I did...not good to think about quilt math during book fair.
Think of me Monday....working 7am - 6pm at the book fair....yikes!  k

Whine, whine, whine...

Well I wish I was quilting up in Elijay with my buddies, but no....I had to work.  I know they are having a grand time.

At school we are having our Readers Rally School Competition on Monday after school.  Been baking brownies, shopping and getting the questions, packets, and award certificates ready.  I tried the evite website to send out the invitations to the parents.  Seems to work great.  This is a good thing because I waited until Friday to send them out.

Look on the right and notice that I have posted 2 free boms.  Yes, you know I am addicted to them.  These are FREE with embroidery with quilting.  I did get the Aurifil thread from Sweet Home (bad Melisa) and do like it. Now that I think of it.... I believe it was bad Melisa who introduced this bom to me and Gretchen who then said, let's do that.  I think I will do the other bom in this thread too.  Looks like it will work so far.

Hope these interest you. k
