I am a proud Mummy today as Alex came home with his first ever 'interim school report card' and he got Satisfactory/Good or Good on nearly everything. Not bad for a little boy who has struggled to settle at school. His teachers are learning what makes him tick and how to work with him to help him do his best, so I am thrilled! This is how he insisted on reading his school book to me yesterday evening - LOL!
At school they are learning about Jungle and African animals and his current favourite is the Cheetah, so he drew this...I like the cheetah's face with the eyes and smile!
Well most of you probably popped by as part of
WOYWW and so here is my desk in a state of chaos while I am in the midst of making my sister-in-law's Birthday card. You can see my empty mug of tea (I need a top up!), my craft mat hiding under the card, ribbon, scraps of patterned mulberry paper, DST, scissors and craft knife, and to the left you have a random pile of papers, card, ink pads and stickers. Even my computer hasn't escaped with my ruler resting across it.
Finally, here is the finished card. In case you hadn't guessed, my sister-in-law is into Salsa dancing in a big way, hence the theme of the card. This card followed the sketch from
PTW, and is also being entered into the Anything goes challenges from
The Crazy challenge,
Simon says stamp,
The Pixie cottage and
All Sorts, as well as the 'Happy' challenge from
Aud Sentiments. That is all from me for now. Have a great rest of the week.
Love,
Caro

Aw well done Alex, and well done his teachers for knowing how to coax and encourage, clever stuff! And the coolest smiley cheetah! Fab card , I do like to see that occasionally you spread out a bit, even as far as your laptop!!
Lovely artwork from you both!!! Good for Alex and of course you can be proud...love your card and colors...Sarah at 1 having a late WOYWW peek and blog nose on Friday!
Congrats to your son. So much of school is about the right teachers and parents.
The fact that you are worried that your rular covers your keyboard suggestions you shouldn't pass by my desk, house, garden or even the car! #82
Caro this is a beautiful card. Really quite gorgeous. The colors match your son's artwork. Time to top up the tea hey? Love your post, *smiles* Norma
What a great card for a salsa dancer.
