The definition of torture:

...Is having to wait 7-10 business days for the result from my state board practical exam! It feels so good to have it finished, but I won't relax until I get that piece of paper in the mail that says "Passed" on it. I feel pretty good with my performance, but you never know if you forgot something that the examiners are looking for. I really really hope that I passed and that I don't have to go through that again! I have my written exam on Thursday, but you get your results from that as soon as you complete it. Thank goodness for that, or I might die from anxiety.

I have been working on the cutest gifts for Heidi's teachers for the end of the school year. I am making them class cookbooks. I sent home cardstock with each of the kids to write their favorite recipes on and write the teacher a little or or draw them a picture. I have gotten some of the cutest and most creative recipes back. My sister Lisa and I worked all weekend to make these books super cute, and this is the final product (the pictures are the outside cover and the inside first page):






You can't see much detail of the glitter, but we glittered all of the tiny details all over the pages. By the time we were done we had major hand cramps! I think that Heidi's teachers will love them. They have all been awesome teachers, we will miss them next year when Heidi goes to Kindergarten.

I remember taking my state boards for my AA degree 12 yrs ago (gosh I just dated myself) and I remember it being torture too, hang in there. Those books are beyond amazing! I am sure the teachers will love them!
