I Spy Redux...


Okay, here is version 2.  Jan-Maree suggested plopping the I Spy letters in the middle.  I never thought of that but I like it!  Husband said, "Ya, that makes more sense since it will be hanging on a wall." What planet have I been living on that I never even thought of that.  Thanks, Jan-Maree!!!! Great idea.

Tomorrow is the Terry Fox National School Run Day for cancer research in Canada.  My school will be out in full force tomorrow afternoon, walking and running to support Terry's legacy.  We have been running for Terry for such a long time now (31 years I think!) and so much money has been raised for cancer research in Terry's name.  It is amazing to see what an ordinary person fighting an extraordinary battle can do when they set their mind to it.  Several people asked if we would put the run off if it is raining.  This is one thing that we will do no matter what the weather.  Rain or shine.  That's what Terry did.  My school has set a donation goal and I am thinking that we are going to blow the goal out of the water by tomorrow.  And that is a good thing.

Have a super rest of your Tuesday!

    I like the way you have this layed out with the "I SPY" in the middle, it gives a nice balance.
    Our 4 kiddos are running on Friday! If the school reaches their goal, a student has volunteered to shave their head! It is amazing isn't it?!

    Love the new lay out - figured it was worth a try. Good luck with the school - I think it is great to get the kids involved in charity events like this for so many reasons!

    Your I spy looks great. I'd have fun looking at it if I was hanging out in your office. I like the idea of "I spy" written on it.
    I have all the squares cut for mine - I'm thinking of sashing each 11" block in black to give a bit of an eye resting place. I saw a picture on-line like that and it looked really neat. Somehow my living room floor/design wall isn't so handy for layouts when the dog/kids want to share the space:) We did our Terry Fox run today. The kids were awesome, and so many parents participated.
