OK, I was tagged a loooong time ago by my good friend, Tricia.  Here's the low-down.  It's the middle-name game.

1.  You have to post the rules before you give your answers.
2.  You must list one face about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name.  (If you don't have a middle name, use a maiden name.)
3.  After you are tagged, you need to update your blog with your middle name and your answers.
4.  At the end of your blog post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name.  (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged and that they nee to read your blog for details.)

At least I don't have a long middle name! 

M: married
A:  artsy
R:  resilient (most of the time)
I: Illinois resident
E: English major (and theatre!) in college

I'm tagging Keela, Kim, Linda, Shari, and Jodie.

Spring Break!  Lots going on -- home renovations, kid activities, a couple of chapters for books.

The saga of the pit continues.  I'm now pulling out my wire cubes and replacing them with bookcases, and I'm also going to use the Lisa & Becky rail system.  A local LSS had some of this in stock, and they're using it in their classroom.  Looks great, and since I have a small space, I can use two rows and build it up the wall.

I registered for CKC-St. Louis again, and I might have overdone the whole class thing...  I'll be exhausted by the end of the weekend, especially since I'll be getting in from L.A. on Monday and then leaving for CKC on Thursday night...  Won't make me popular around here, either.  But it's Mom's turn to play, I guess.

Since it IS my spring break, I took a couple of classes this week.  We have a new LSS in town, The Keepsake Element, and I took my first class there on Wednesday from Jolene.  A cute little Easter album in a box, using the Imaginisce For Peep's Sake papers and embellies.  Lots of fun, a great workspace, and it started to get me in the swing for Easter.  With all of the plaster dust and piles of boxes around my house, I haven't even bothered to decorate yet.

And on Saturday, I took another class from Ranger U grad Wendy Vecchi at Scrapbook Friendz.  We played with grungeboard, stamps, and ink.  What a blast!  I haven't taken pictures of my projects yet, but they're here on Wendy's blog, Studio 490.

Three days left of my break!
