Dueling Darlings - September

SCHOOL IS COOL!!!!   Well, I did not always think that.  It seemed that I always thought that school was a social place, not so much for learning.   Just ask my teachers.   On second thought, don't talk to them!

School is Cool, is our Dueling Darlings theme this month.   The Diva's received a great kit from Jamie this month.   I so love the school bus die cut!   It reminds me of this song.    Gotcha!  Now you have to sing it for the rest of the day!   This song would have been what we listed to on the school bus in the late 80's.   Today, we would be listening to this song.

Jamie, asked us to share a favorite school memory.  Well my goodness, there are so many.   So how about how I met the Eye Batter?   It was the 7th grade in art class.  We were seated next to each other.  Big mistake!   We would just chat.  Then the teacher would yell at us, we would chat, she would yell, we would chat.  She finally said if we were going to talk, to go out in the hall.   So we did!  This happened several times per week.   It was perfect.  We would get to class, start talking, were asked to leave, went in the hall and chatted and talked to everyone that went by.  It was perfect placement.  The room was right by the bathroom on the main hallway. Gosh, I am glad that I am not a teacher.  I would have to slap kids like me!   LOL   The Eye Batter and I have been friends ever since. 

On to our card for this month.  I had fun creating with the kit Jamie sent.   Please check out the other Diva and Dazzler creations.  They will be awesome!   Their blog links are to the right of this post in my sidebar.

Remember the wheels on the bus.....gotcha again!
