CASology Week #6 ~ School

Greetings!

I'm sorry I'm so late today.  I woke up with one of my spark plugs disconnected or corruded, not sure which.  Ever have those days where even your hair feels limp?

What to do when you are fighting N. Wee?  For me, it would be participating in the CASology challenge.  This week the cute little cue card word is:

Ah, school.  Lemme think.  Fourteen miles down the road.  Uphill both ways.  There were snowdrifts both winter and summer.  The teacher, Ruby Nail, standing in the doorway with her arms behind her back.  We could just see the tip of the thin reed we knew was clutched in one bony hand.  Just in case.  My girlfriend told me that Winslow Lewis, 52 years later, still has a cowlick that won't lay down.  Poor guy just never got it.  I mean he "got it" a lot, but he never quite "got" it, you know?

BTW, I really did have a teacher named Ruby Nail.  She taught us English in middle school, which we used to call junior high.  She was a fine teacher.  It's not her fault I turned out this way.

If I could just turn your attention back to the card.  Here's the thing.  Turns out I don't have a single school stamp.  That's a recent development.  I had a few school stamps and then I received a lot more school stamps in a grab bag that I bought from my blogging friend, Susan.  Being out of the kid/school business, I gave the whole box of them to my friend, Donna, to give to her two crafty daughters, both of whom have children.

What I do still have, praise be, are delightful designer papers depicting schools, which I think are from DCWV.  So I used them to make this CAS card:

I'm pretty sure this card has, like, no white space, but it's CAS, and this paper is too doggone cute not to be made into a card!  The card is made from one sheet of the DP and the sentiment is cut from a different sheet and popped up on pop dots.  That's it.

Moreunder, even grandmas still love red tennis shoes, and I couldn't resist showing you mine next to my card:

Is it me or does the photo perceptive seem off?  It's a normal size card, but next to my feet, the card looks like a twinchie.  And since the card is not a twinchie, then why do my feet look sixteen inches long, which they're NOT?

Oh well, enjoy!  I'm having six long-time coworker girlfriends over for lunch tomorrow, so I probably won't see you until Friday, what with being tipsy from the sun tea and all. 

As always, thank you for stopping by to visit.  Special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower or leave a comment!
