It was very well-written and insightful. And, boy, oh, boy, do I ever love your card for Mrs. A's challenge! That design and those colors are fabulous!! Hugs, Darnell<br /><br />P.S. I don't think my earlier comment on your newer post will publish for me to check before you've seen it, but I'm afraid I may have called you Sheila. My apologies if I did! Names are my nemesis!! All the best with the school issues!

It turned out lovely as did your pretty butterfly. Good luck with your strike...not a fun or happy situation. Hope it gets lots of the issues you raised, resolved. Teachers are the world's most important positions, because if our young folks are not educated, what world can they hope to inhabit? Already seems as though countries are being governed by morons! Enough on politics though. Congrats on being highlighted at the Playground. A well deserved honor too, as that was a striking card. Love your scenes that you do so wonderfully well. Firefox is not doing any better for me, than was Google or IE. It's blogger...bless their little improvements!
