So, I've been itchy, a bit, about my scrapbooking lately. Wanted to do something more out in public (besides posting to all the boards), so I submitted a few things. I was really excited about the pages I sent in for the baby book, but none were accepted, I think. (I'm not sure; I thought they'd be calling about acceptance, but I never got a call. Then I found out they were sending emails, and I've been pretty aggressive about my spam folder lately, so I might have deleted it. O'ell.)
But I was accepted to the creative team. (scroll to the bottom) I'm only a guest, which lasts two months, but it's still really exciting. It'll expose me to a new designer, a new group of critics and instructors, and it'll motivate me to do more scrapbooking, which is always a good thing. Course, it's at the beginning of the school year, which is tough, but I think I'll be able to handle it. One layout a week is totally possible, considering I'll be doing one layout every two days for most of September with my class.
Wish me luck keeping my head above water.

Mrs. N. Hi. My name is Clare and I'm an English candidate in an M.A./teaching credential program at UC Santa Cruz. I came across your blog and am really enjoying reading your observations on teaching (and parenting!).
Can't seem to figure out how to email you directly so I'm leaving this in the comment section. I'm wondering whether I could interview you for a final paper I'm doing for one of my classes? I'm planning to interview at least 4 high-school English teachers in their 3rd through 7th years of teaching to ask them what they think makes for an effective classroom; how what they learned in their credential program affects their teaching (or doesn't); and what they've learned about teaching the hard way. Would you be game? I can interview you by phone or email (or in person if you're in the Bay Area). Probably take 20 or 30 minutes. And I can use a pseudonym if you'd prefer.
Anyway, thanks for considering it. Am glad to have found your blog--you've now got me interested in the work of Kate Kinsella. (My email is cchatfie@ucsc.edu) Best, Clare
