Japan's Disaster

What a terrible thing to happen!  We teach the kids at school what to do when an earthquake happens, but we hope it never does.  Living in the Ring of Fire, we have to practise regular earthquake and fire drills, complete with evacuation.  A fundraiser started today with one class sponsoring it for this week before Spring Break.

Pamplemousse

I just saw some beautiful, scaled-down fabric which is perfect for my new Blythe clothes.  I've had to keep my mind focused on report cards until today.  This has been extremely hard for me, as Simply Chocolate and S. Vanilla have only been resident for 11 days and are desperate for some new clothes.  Those horrible stock polyester dresses are UGLY!  I would love to have some of Pamplemousse's fabrics.  I'm going to check out her shop and post a link at the end of the blog page.

Check out the @blythelifecom interview with @fruityblythe for an awesome fabric giveaway! http://bit.ly/fVMIpp


The store is at http://www.etsy.com/shop/pamplemoussedoll?ref=pr_shop      
Today there is just 1 listing, so I hope more will be created soon.

The Girls Went to School



Today was Friday and that means Show & Tell in my Gr. 2/3 class.  The kids like me to participate, so today I brought in my new girls.  Of course, the boys freaked out when I switched the eyes.  The red ones really got to them! LMAO  I did take the girls into the staffroom before school, to introduce them to the staff.  The men were freaked out, just like the little men in my room.  It was so funny!  They think I'm losing my mind, and I don't really try to disabuse them of that idea, either.  hee,hee

Here the two girls met some school friends, Hannah, Sydney and Ashley
