Scrappin' for a Retiring Inspiration

Well, it's been so long since I really did anything other than a card here or there! The support staff of the year at school, that I made the last frame for, is retiring.  She is near and dear to my heart, and really is my inspiration for how to be... (and by "be" I mean, treat people, live life and work).   So, I volunteered to make a scrapbook for her retirement.  I'll tell ya, this was no easy task at the middle school level.  Teachers are the biggest procrastinators!!   So many people waited until the last minute to contribute, which put me in a think-quick mode.  It was kind of like building a house before you know your budget.  Anyway, this is the culmination of what our staff contributed.  I think it turned out pretty nice.

Thank you Kathy, for making the wordle for me, and thank you Nancy for the picture!

 Thank you again, Kathy, for the pictures!

 Thank you Sue, for the pictures!

 Thank you Sue, for the picture, poem, and handwarmer, along with the "when you're hot you're hot" caption and thank you Kathy for the photoshop.

 Thank you Mary and Jincy!  This spread is so cool!  You ladies are quite creative!

 

Thank you Donna, Cindy (who is also retiring), Denise. Tammy and Kylie.

Thank you Gina.  Since a few people contributed a letter, or a card, I decided to make a pocket page to hold them all (and any others she may get).

  Thak you to everyone who e-mailed me the number one thing they will miss about Judi. I couldn't have done this page without all the staff who contributed.

 Thank you to everone who either sent a "remember when" caption, or an index card of well wishes.  The index cards can be "flipped through" since I cut the page protector.

 Thanks to everyone who sent a "speech bubble" with a sentiment.  And, thanks to Missy for all the little tiny staff pictures!  That made the book!

 Thanks to Deb for the items on this page.

 This is certainly how I would be feeling! 

 

Hope you enjoyed it :)
