the class is growing....soooo exciting...

something big is brewing... bursting to share

happy monday.....

i hope you are all well.... 

oh my gosh, my day started off a little rough... 

actually a lot rough...

i missed a call from the school this morning.

i  was in the shower...

anyhow, i checked the messages and

heard...

"this message is for bryce... he has a provincial exam this morning.

and he's not here.  it's now 9:10 am."

i gulped, looked up at the clock and it was 9:20 am.

normally he has a spare first class.

bryce is in grade 12, possibly graduating, possibly not. 

it's been a tough few years...

anyhow, he was asleep.

i woke him up.... and i wasn't very pleasant.

told him to get up quick....

yadda, yadda...

'how could you not know you had an exam, bryce?'

he was like 'i thought it was at 1:00'...

ugh...

rush, rush.. as much as he can rush.... he has one speed... and that's his speed.

jump in the car to zip him to school... just brewing with every possible emotion...

we didn't even say goodbye.

what a way for him to go into an exam!  ugh....

:(

hanging my head....

i totally let my emotions get the better of me.

i should have remained calm...but no... i was bordering on hysterical....

after i settled down, i texted him telling him i loved him and i hoped it went well....

ugh....

.......

okay, anyhow, when i hopped out of the car, there in the corner of the garden

was this beautiful poppy....

and it took my breath away...

and it made me think in that moment... everything was okay...

i literally stopped, thanked God for the moment, and then...grabbed my camera...

:)

(see the softer version on 2bbb..not sure which i like better)

so, bryce made it thru the exam....  they didn't turn him away for being late...

that alone is a miracle...

and the day carried on.....

perhaps tomorrow will be a bit better from the beginning...

deep sigh

.......

now onto some good stuff!!

i have lots of goodness brewing around here.

i'm just about ready to spill.....

but not quite.

basically my top image is a little, tiny hint of something big and fun and fabulous....

i am planning.

stay tuned....i'm hoping to spill by wednesday...

B U R S T I N G

and there's more....but it must wait for another day....

'sigh'

oh, i do have one thing i can share today though.

tomorrow...

i'm starting something fun and fabulous....

2 for 2 dollar

texture tuesday

i will have 2 new funky and fabulous textures available for purchase....

and for tuesday only...

they will be 2 for $2.00
