Studio J Layouts

I did several Studio J layouts when the service was first available, but at the time, they did not provide a jpg file so that the layouts could be shared online.  Now, with the purchase of the printed layout, you also get a jpg file to share.  They actually send you files that you can share on the internet, and files that are higher quality so that you can have them reprinted if you wish.  This month, there is a promotion running in which you can get one free jpg file without having to purchase the layout that you make.  If you want to check out Studio J, and make your own layout, you can access it at my CTMH Website . Choose Studio J in the menu on the left and scrap away :)

Morning With Mom

I had the pleasure of spending the morning with my daughter at school last week.  It's a very cool program that they do, and unfortunately, this is the last one that I will attend, as they do not continue this in the next elementary school that she will attend.  We started off the morning with doughnut holes and juice, and then Meghan took me to her classroom where we had some activities to do.

Above is the checklist that we went through.  We had lots to do, and it was so cute the way that Meghan had to check off each of the activities as we completed them.  In her classroom, we had a drawing/writing assignment to complete, and then she took me on a tour of some of her favorite places in the classroom.

After finishing everything there was to do in her classroom, we then went on a tour of the rest of the school building.  I loved this message that Meghan's art teacher had up in her classroom.  Meghan enjoyed showing me all the great things about art class. She loves art, so I'm so glad that she has the opportunity to express herself at school.

Then, it was on to music class, where Meghan played the bells and the keyboard.  I am so very thankful that Meghan's school is so dedicated to teaching not only the core subjects, but also a love and appreciation for the arts as well.  After music, we made a quick pass through the media center (library & computer lab), and then I dropped Meghan back off at her classroom so that she could start her day.  It was a great way to start my day, and I loved spending some time with her, and getting to experience a little bit of her school routine.

My Day in Photos

Every year at my daughter's elementary school, they do a daddy-daughter dance. This past winter, the theme was a Hawaiian Luau. CTMH's Moon Doggie paper pack was just perfect to record this memory. I'm pretty sure I'd never seen my husband in a Hawaiian shirt before this day;)
