I'm back...I think and Swap info

OMG...I am sorry for being away for so long but there has been craziness going on. So my husband and I had this trip all planned out to Nashville, and had been planning it for a while. Well wouldn't you know that we got caught in the flood and were evacuated. We spent several days getting all of our stuff and ourselves out of Nashville. I will post pictures later. Then I had to prepare my students for the big state test that they have to take at the end of my class. Which doesn't really happen at the end of the school year. BAH! My mom is having surgery on Monday because they finally figured out what is wrong with her and she has had all of the pre-op tests and other things. Thank goodness they figured out what is wrong with her. Then some how in spite of my efforts to not sign up for a lot of things this month, I ended up with 5. Double BAH!


SWAP INFO!!
Anyway, to the two ladies that signed up for my tag swap...I'm still game if you are. We would only need to make 3 and then you would mail two to me and I'll mail two back. Hope that makes sense. Unless you want to try and make more...I'll leave it up to what you all would like to do. I'll need you to either leave a comment or email me at krussellstudio@gmail.com, about whether you are still in and if you want to try and make more than just 3. Maybe we can push the due date back to the end of the month...that way we have some more time. I would really like to do this swap. Maybe if we do it again we can get more people.

May Tag Swap

Hey all,

I'm going to be hosting a tag swap on my site. The details are as follows:

Please sign up below if you are interested in joining this month.

The theme for May will be "Crafty Creations" since May 1st is National Scrapbook Day. Make a crafty statement with your tag. Make them as unique as possible.

I will take names for the swap until May 6th.
I will post groups after May 7th.
Once I have groups posted and your tags are finished, email me at krussellstudio@gmail.com and I will send you my address.

Details:

• You will make about 10 tags - depending on the sizes of the groups. (Don't start making them until groups are posted)
  
• Try to make the tags as similar as possible.
  
• Tags should be around 2.75" x 4.38"
  
• You can follow the theme as much or as little as possible
• Please include your name, blog, or any other information on the backside or attached to the tag
• You will mail all but one of the tags to me, and I will return the same amount back
• Place the tags in a plastic bag to prevent water damage
  
• Have tags in the mail to me by May 25th, so that I can get them back to you by the end of the month
  
• Please include a self-addressed envelope and include $5 to cover shipping, I will mail the rest back to you (Let me know if you are an international swapper and I will send you an invoice for shipping.)
  

Enjoy making the tags!

Craziness this week

Oh boy, thank goodness this week is over. It was not easy getting the kids back in the swing of being back in school. It has not been a good week for any of us. Someone also told me that we are going to have a full moon soon, so they'll be extra crazy. I really do think that there is something about a full moon. I've had to deal with kids being mad at me, parents upset about kids grades - not with me thank goodness. I need to remember to stay calm and not let them get to me.

I haven't been able to really do any creating lately though, and I think that has made me cranky because I haven't been able to relax. I'm going to a copic class tomorrow, so I should have my creative juices going tomorrow evening. I'm also planning on checking out some stores while I'm in town. :) I did get to finish the tags for my tag swap on the {Scrap}beach. Check out the video on my YouTube channel.

We're planning on working on the yard tomorrow. My husbands going to seed the yard, I'm going to plant some flowers and we'll both work on spreading topsoil and fertilizer around. Then I can go play. Sunday, I'll need to grade quizzes and start working on the different swaps that I signed up for. If you haven't already you all should stop by "Your Paper Pantry" and join my tag swap.
