| Supplies: papers from Basic Grey "Oxford;" standard oval Nesties; sentiment from ditto; Versamark, Palette Noir ink, black EP |

| The oval piece is mounted using a double layer of foam tape - it lays flush with the quilled frame |
Today we're off for a fun-filled (sarcasm alert!) sixth grade field trip. It's like herding sarcastic and mouthy cats. Part of the trip should be interesting - we'll be visiting the recently built wind farm, and should get a chance to ask some of the questions that Rob & I ask each other every time we drive by it. I seem to be the designated question-asker on these trips - but you know what, if I'm a chaperone, I may as well learn something at the same time.
I also realized that I hadn't shared pictures from Connor's art show last week! His seventh grade class has been learning screen printing - the display items on paper, and they've designed their own t-shirts as well. Check out my favourites:

| Thirteen year olds. That is all. (His BISON print is directly to the right of his annoyed shoulder) |
 |
| Armadillo |
 |
| Giant anteater (I sense an animal trend....) |

Connor's artwork is amazing!! I love the animal theme, and that anteater is totally cool.
I often refer to keeping any children in line as "herding cats" but your description of leading 6th graders as "herding sarcastic and mouthy cats" had me rolling on the floor laughing!! SO apt. :)
LOVE your masculine quilling on this card. Such a cool frame!

Connor is so talented - just like his mom!
How fun to see the contrast of using the feminine pp but for masculine card, Jessi! You could enter this card for Ca-Sual Friday challenge!
OMG! Your son is cracking me up and I so see what I have to look forward too because I already have a mouthy little one and I see the transition that lies ahead with more annoyed attitude/hormones! His work is amazing! Hope you survived the field trip!
