Hopefully, as you read this, me and hubby will be in SHMbO's school assembly watching her receive her 50 merits certificate. I'm sure those of you with kids will either have them at a school, or been to a school, where they get some sort of reward for working hard, being good, thoughtful, helpful, - etc.
Well at her school they get a merit for that sort of thing. SHMbO has now got 50 of those merits - at that point home gets a letter asking you to come into Monday morning assembly and watch them get presented with a certificate. This is where we are right now.
Of course, another reason for posting this is that it's a new challenge over at The Cutie Pies and my last DT card for this fabulous challenge for 6 months. I'm taking a break while the work is carried out on our house - of course in typical tradesman fashion our builder seems to think that we don't mind if he delays the start of the work slightly, ummm nope!! So as yet all that's happened is that we are packing up and clearing out the office - no proper demolishing so far!!
Anyway - I digress, my last challenge with The Cuties for around 6 months - as they've very kindly allowed me a break but are taking me back!
This time the theme is 'Lots of Layers', and we have two wonderful sponsors
they currently have a Spring Spectacular Event with reductions on nearly all products throughout the store including ribbon, twine, charms, pins, rubber stamps, pearls, rhinestones and much more. Pop over and grab a bargain while stocks last! Further reductions available in our sale section too.
and one lucky winner will win

There is also the chance of a GDT with The Cuties - how fab is that!!
The DT were allowed an image or two to play with and this is my card:
