May 5th.

Today was a very busy day around here for me....lots of festivities and busy-ness. This morning was the university graduation, where we graduated 600+ students. It is always bittersweet....very proud to see another group of my students going off into the world to make a difference, but very sad to see some amazing young people leaving. It's almost like they are all my kids in some strange way.....so much potential, and I am very proud of them.

Today is also Cinco De Mayo (thought I should acknowledge that, given my attempts to learn Spanish and all!) as well as.....National Scrapbooking Day! I didn't even get to scrapbook today, though I did stop by the local store to pick up some new KI goodies and some Bazzill cardstock, since there were some good sales. I also entered a contest with a cute "Glimpses of Summer" mini-album that I made. I will post photos when I get it back. I just started it last night at 9:00 pm, so I didn't put a lot of time into it. It was a good example of just playing and experimenting and seeing what would happen....and I am really happy with the result, win or no win.

Well, gotta go scrub my very dirty played-outside-all-day-long-and-then-some kiddos. Then, it's another chapter of "Sherlock Holmes" for my daughter before I tuck them into bed and dive into my new issue of Creating Keepsakes.....looks like a good one. Tomorrow, don't forget to genuinely praise Jesus right from your soul, and thank Him for one thing that He has done for you this week.
