Hello Friends and Stampers,

All aboard for a new Challenge over at The Loves Rubberstamps Challenge Blog!  This week we are asking us to show and tell your favorite color combination.  We are being sponsored by not one but two sponsors, plus the Loves Prize! 

I love Train Conductor Owen!  He is so cute.  I used quite a few of my favorite color combinations on this one.  B97, B95, B92 for his overalls and hat.  E27, E25, E23 for his shoes.  R29, R27, R24 for his shirt.  Y38, Y19, Y15 for his scarf.  G07, G14, YGo3 for his gloves. E43, E42, E41 for the wheels.  Actually, you know what my favorite Copic Color Combination is of all?  R85, R83, R81, but I couldn't use these on a boy card, lol. 

So last week, we thought we were all settled into school with the boys.  The school district called to let us know they had to revoke my grandson's transfer.  So Joe and I scrambled around and after many phone calls, we had to register him at the elementary school a few blocks away.  Can you imagine?  So I have one going to the original school and one I had to take to a whole new school today.  I agonized all weekend over this.  I thought we were all ready for this change this morning, I thought I could keep the brave facade going.  When he started crying on the playground before school even started, I started crying too.  I cried getting him in the line.  I cried walking away.  I cried in the Dean of Students office.  I cried signing him up for the daycare across the street.  I came home and I cried for three hours.  I can't even remember the last time I cried, lol.  It's just so not me.  But my heart just ached for him.  Having another first day of school after just having gone through all of that last week.  I have to say I really HATE our school system.  Nothing about our society is focused on our children.  And they are the most important part.  Take the budget away from the prisoners.  Tax those top 3%.  Do whatever we need to do to pay our teachers really well, and give more funding to the school.  And then fire all those district people and start over again.  Okay I'll get off my soap box, lol.   He did a lot better today than I did.

I am using this weeks sketch over at MFT's. 

Thanks for Looking and for putting up with my rant.
