Treasure Love Forever

Happy Tuesday to you and welcome to August! In just a short few weeks school will start back up for us. :-) DD is nervous to begin high school. I am praying it's a smooth transition for her. We have orientation later this month which is a great time for her to become familiar with the school. I am actually wondering if we need to go another time as well to be certain she is aware of her surroundings. Heck, I am just as nervous as she is. Parents tell me middle school is worse than high school. Not sure yet. I think we made it through middle school but as the year progressed we saw more insatiability in classes and general anxiety. Not to mention her true personality shined through the third quarter. Oh geez! She has the determination to be a fantastic lawyer with her constant objections to things that are unappealing or incorrect. Not that we don't all have something we loathe but the guards of politeness will shield us from projecting our true thoughts often. Kids with autism don't have this "guard" and speaking her mind is generally my daughter's fault in classroom sittings. One time she corrected a teacher for a mistake on the board. The teacher told her to ignore it but she held strong about it needing to be corrected as she was subjected to take notes and stare at the mistake. She has a point. The teacher did not take lightly to her refusal to ignore and sent her to the office for not obeying authority. I was highly annoyed that the mistake was not simply corrected and a peaceful classroom could be had. I guess I don't get why some teachers make situations more difficult. I want her to listen to authoritative figures but in this day and age, I can't say I have absolute faith in some of the people who are teaching/enforcing these areas. Rant ending because I don't want to get into political views since this is supposed to be a creative outlet. Yep just sunshine and smiles. Rainbows. Maybe even double rainbows. :-)

Unto my card. A slew of Webster's Pages papers with some fussy cutting to emphasize the beautifully detailed images. A little Fancy Pants ribbon, K & Co. pearls, vintage lace, and Creative Imaginations rub on to complete.
This gives a little closer detail of the birdcage and the butterflies.
