Hi Ho!

I know most of you out there now this, but . . . it's almost time for Back to School!!! As a homeschooler, I'm a bit excited - excited about new books (I LOVE fresh, clean, new books!), new subjects, new concepts, etc. I'm also a bit sad to see the vacation end, worried about how hard it will be to get back into a routine, wondering how it will all work with a new baby in October. . . so many things.

Off to School Sophia from Paper Pretties is perfect for this time of year! I used a sketch from the sketch swap at Stamp New England in March. It's by Vicky Cook - great sketch! The little green mat under her feet is a set I often forget about but that is so versatile!! It's Sassy Circles, also from Paper Pretties, and has some great circles and ovals to use for making backgrounds and mats and all kinds of things!

Isn't that dp perfect? It's from October Afternoon's Cherry Hill collection - love it! I'm also excited that this qualifies for a couple more of the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges over at SCS - I'm having so much fun!!

Stay tuned for Prettie Wednesday and news abou the upcoming RELEASE!! My posts will be pre-scheduled starting today - I'll be headed to Orlando tomorrow for a few days at CHA. If I get time, I'll try to upload a few pics. Have a great week everyone!
