Scrap Recap

 Where Has Vivian Been?

"How has Vivian not found time to post here in over a month?" you ask. Well...early August attendance/facilitation at teacher professional development, a week in New England, a week in DC, plus an insane week and a half of back to school/back to work with a cold and car troubles on top of that. (Thank goodness for cough suppressant and long weekends!) I'm posting a major scrap update today with work I've done for all of my teams and will aim to get some summer travel recap stuff up here soon as well as a post with non-team layouts I've done recently.

Scrap Recap

In reverse chronological order:

1. I had a layout featured today on the Bella Blvd blog:

2. On Monday, I contributed a layout to an October Afternoon blog post:

3. The September gallery at Write.Click.Scrapbook. launched on the 1st. The theme this month is "Looking Back," which was a perfect excuse for me to raid my mom's stash of photos from my childhood:
