So I have been so busy dealing with the dreaded head lice that my youngest daughter brought home from kindergarten that I have had virtually no time to play in my craft room. I have been spending most of my days in the laundry room washing everything, scrubbing furniture, floors and beds and the in the bathroom washing hair. This is my first encounter with this and it is yucky stuff!!
Since I have been so busy, I have had to combine three of this week's challenges.
First is the color combo this week of Real Red, Bermuda Bay, Kraft and Neutral of choice (White). Optional was school notebook paper. Thanks for the fabulous colors again this week Betty!
Second is this week's sketch challenge, thanks Roxie, I loved this one as I usually do!!
Finally is this week's Teapot Tuesday challenge, I have brought apples for Trish LafishÂ’s teachers when she finally returns to school to graduate after being lost at sea.
I hope you like it and I hope your day is much better than mine!!

What a wonderful teacher's card for the coming end of the year...which, by the sound of it, you must be looking forward to! My daughters had lice(from a couple families at church:() when they were little...oh I remember those days...bagging up all the stuffed animals and dolls...washing everything and going through their hair with an ultra fine lice comb...not fun...hang in, this too shall pass~~ so glad you had some time to play..your card is super sweet, and will be dearly loved and appreciated!!

Well, it may be a bad day, but it's a great card! I love the pearls and felt button.
I remember when I was minding my friend's kids there was a lice outbreak in their school, and I was so aware of how often we all had our heads down over the table together if we were working on something.
