Trivia Challenge Update!

Hiya Everyone!

Well, I have had several completed entries, and many of you are VERY CLOSE, but I don't have a bonafide winner yet!

Keep those entries comin'! I have a few people who said that they wanted to play and I haven't gotten entries from you all just yet.

SO! If no one gets all of them right, I will pick the one who was closest :). If we have a tie, we will have a tie breaker question based on something from my blog!

Great job! You all are quite the trivia experts! Thank you for playin'!

Just wanted to share and wish you all a Happy Mother's Day!

SO I wanted to wait to share this with you because I just had so much fun doing it... My good friend Anna commissioned a piece for her Mom for Mother's Day. I didn't want to spoil the surprise, so I wanted to wait until her Mom knew about her surprise before I posted it :). Anna's Mom is a school nurse, more specifically, a very patient middle school nurse. Anna came up with a great idea for her Mother's desk at school, hopefully, this will motivate some particularly whiny students to get back to their studies ;). The base says "Get back to class!". Wonderful idea Anna, I had so much fun making her.



Happy Mother's Day to all of you Mommies, Nanas, and Grandmoms!

Happy Mother's Day, of course, to those of you who have made a difference in the life of a child and given of yourselves unselfishly. After all, 'it takes a village'... For those of you who are valuable part of our village; Anna, Jessica, Heidi and Tiffan, Ms. Laura, Mrs. C., Ms. Jeaninne, Ms. Amy and Ms. Patricia, words will never fully express my deep admiration and infinite gratitude... XXOO, Katie
