Where Has the Time Gone??

It is said that the older you get that time seems to fly!  Well, I am here to prove the saying is true.  My school year has just flown by with a challenging Fall semester and a really exciting Spring semester.

I was selected in February to be part of the Baldwin County Digital Renaissance technology team representing my school.  Our county is converting to Mac Book technology this coming Fall.  All middle school students will have the opportunity to use a Mac Book laptop "tool" to assist them in their school work.  Therefore, I am part of a team of teachers  who are attending trainings several times a month in order to help other teachers learn the new technology.  I feel honored to be a part of the team.

My FACS students and I have been working closely on an American Cancer Society sewing project this spring.  It was brought to our attention that cancer patients going through treatments could be comforted with the help of small pillows that are placed under pressure points.  So, the students have been very diligent in using their new sewing skills to make over 100  pillows. It has been a very rewarding experience for all knowing that maybe someone can be comforted by their hard work.

The newest and most exciting news is that I'm going to be a grandmother!  Yes, Dan and I are taking the next step and looking forward to meeting the newest member of our family.  After Christmas I became a ridiculous Pintrest fan. Combing the website for baby sewing project ideas and tutorials.  I've made everything I could find and spent hours in the fabric stores planning my creations.  It has been more fun than I could imagine and the baby is NOT even here yet! 

Praying and giving thanks everyday for the very big an exciting change that's coming our way in late May!!

Weddings are in the air lately and From La to La has been part of each gift.  The cookbooks are still popular after all these years! Thanks to all of you who continue to keep them in print!
