Back to School Bonus
The most awkward part of school is realising you know no one to sit with at lunch, correct? Totally horrible feeling.
But alas, one you don’t need to have! Comment here and I’m going to draw two names. Each will win a free place on Learn Something New for themselves and a friend – so four places up for grabs.
And as today as been a glorious day of packing album kits, I’m going to recover from assorted paper cuts with an episode or two of Chad Vader. You know, the adventures of Darth’s lesser known little brother and his ongoing employment at the local supermarket.
Educational, I’m sure.
Get commenting…you’ve got until Friday morning in my time zone!

Thank you for such an inspiring blog!
29 August 2007, 17:38
I’m still doing “1000 Words” projects! Would love to invite a friend to Learn S’thing New! :)
29 August 2007, 17:45
I am so excited to take your class!!!
29 August 2007, 18:06
Hi Shimelle!
I just took your “Worth a Thousand Words” and while I haven’t had time to actually complete the class (sheepish grin) I did love the format and the style and most of all the fabulous inspiration!!
Thanks!!
29 August 2007, 18:21
Oh Shimelle, would be a privilege to take this class from you!!
29 August 2007, 18:21
Hi, I’m a poor student (because I have spent most of my student loan on scrapping supplies!)but would love to have a go at a class. I’ve never done one before but it sounds like a fantastic way to encourage me to try something new.
I love your style, keep up the good work :-)

You’re always so inspiring!
29 August 2007, 18:31

i start back to my last year of university a week from today!
29 August 2007, 18:41
So I still haven’t finished the “When I Grow Up” album…no reason not to pick me
29 August 2007, 18:59
Choose me!
I love your work.
29 August 2007, 19:05
Been thinking ‘bout that sitting alone thing since I have a daughter starting at a new school this week. Now that I’m long past my own first day of school jitters, I worry that it’ll happen to my kids! sigh…
Love to start a class with a friend already in place!
29 August 2007, 19:07
Me…Me….Pick me, pleeeeeeeease. My husband has been deployed since May and I really need something to put my mind into to keep me halfway sane. I would totally appreciate it and I promise to be your friend forever and ever. Promise. Pretty please…with a cherry on top. :-)
29 August 2007, 19:09
Oh I LOVE your classes! Pick me please :o)
29 August 2007, 19:21
I’ve never had a chance to take one of your classes so this would be fantastic!!!
29 August 2007, 19:21
I so remember feeling relieved when I found friends to eat with at school! I’d love to take this class with you!
29 August 2007, 19:23
It’s a glorious nearly-spring day here and I’m finally feeling my creativity start to blossom again… this would be an awesome kick-start!
29 August 2007, 19:30
OOOh!! Please pick me! I’d love to have a friend to share this experience with. Sometimes having a friend makes the experience all that much more rich. Thank you!
29 August 2007, 19:32
Oh I would love to win taking this class – i just took your last one and really enjoyed it. Thank you for the cupcake in the mail too! :)
29 August 2007, 19:45
Would love to take one of your classes :) I like doing my own thing in scrapbooking but LOVE a challenge or project to work on.
29 August 2007, 20:19
Hi Shimelle
I desperately need to win your class!!!
Not sure why, but thought it would sound good if I wrote that. LOL.
I even looked desperate up in the dictionary to make sure I spelt it correct, I have trouble with “a” and “e” in that word.
Carol :-)
29 August 2007, 20:32
Can’t wait till the first prompts come out!
29 August 2007, 20:38
what a way to start the school year! thanks for the chance!!
29 August 2007, 21:06
I’m almost finished with my 1000 Words album, but sadly, school has started here and I have to go make money and mold young minds. I really will finish, I promise! I would work hard on the new class—pick me! School work can wait, right? :)
29 August 2007, 21:51
Pick me! Pick me!
29 August 2007, 22:15
Shimelle, I’d love to take your class with some friends :)
29 August 2007, 22:32
Nothing I love more about back to school than brand new crayons!
Can’t wait for your next class. It’s just the kick I need to finish my 1000 Words album.
29 August 2007, 22:37
I have no idea who I am sitting next to at lunch… or even when lunch is…. ahhh…. this is still so weird…. let me know if you figure it out. :)
29 August 2007, 22:40
ooohhhh!!! I wanna be your new BFF!! Pick Me!! I will save you a seat on the bus, I promise! : )
29 August 2007, 23:02
As a former educator, thinking about back to school gives me the goosebumps and giddiness that i don;t have to go back anymore! Now as a SAHM of a 3yr old about to start Montessori, it brings tears!
29 August 2007, 23:04
I would love to take one of your classes….I am always so hesitant to try things, I need to be braver.
29 August 2007, 23:36
I’m one of your big fans in Japan.
I hope I could be a lucky girl!
30 August 2007, 00:14
I love back to school time! I’m ready for a class!
Beth
30 August 2007, 00:16

30 August 2007, 00:38
I have taken your Christmas class and despite my very good intentions have not completed it. maybe this class will be different!!!
Thanks for the opportunity

30 August 2007, 02:46
Oooow Oooow Pick me! I loved your Christmas class and would definitely love to treat a friend.
30 August 2007, 02:50
i would love to take your class!
30 August 2007, 03:02
I’ts been a while since I took one of your classes, I know this one will be amazing! Would love to introduce a new friend to you.
30 August 2007, 03:20
Love the sound of the class!!
30 August 2007, 04:08
I cant wait for this class to start, my scrapping head needs its Shimelle fix!
30 August 2007, 04:15
Hey! My daughter has just started at a new school and her biggest concern is lunch time. She is a vivacious, fun, friendly girl and deserves a comfortable eating environment!!! She walks back and forth to her locker eating snacks she can eat on the go! How sad is that? It is only the first week, so I am sure it will improve soon! Sigh…
I do love your blog!
30 August 2007, 05:04
Hope I’m not too late!
Can’t think of anything better for a prize.
30 August 2007, 05:14
Hi ya I would love to learn something new!
Lovin’ ya work.

30 August 2007, 05:19

We’d rather have you here

30 August 2007, 05:26
Don’t you just hate paper cuts!!!
Enjoy not going back to school.
30 August 2007, 05:33
I’m already signed up but nothing beats sitting with your friend on the first day of school. maybe my friend can join the class with me???
30 August 2007, 05:44
i work in a special needs school so i am now getting ready to go back. i hope you are enjoying not getting ready, i wish you the best of everything with your new life.
christine
30 August 2007, 05:56
Would love to do this class.
30 August 2007, 06:05
love your scrapping style. u are starting a new life, we all need to take risks so U GO GIRL and enjoy every minute good and bad. THESE MOMENTS MAKE US.
your class would be a challenge for me as i always start a journal in jan (like a new school book) in my best handwriting and then by mid week forget to do anymore until I find a new one in my stocking for the next year…
30 August 2007, 06:11
I would love to take part in the class – going back to work (school) on Monday so feeling pretty depressed right now – you lucky professional scrapbooker!
30 August 2007, 06:20
Oh,please pick me! I have a good friend who would love this class, I owe her a big favour for being supportive during a difficult time and I can’t think of a better way to repay her kindness. We start school again on Monday (I’m her teaching assistant) so this would chase away the back to school blues and challenge us not to let our creativity slide when the term gets tough!
30 August 2007, 06:49
Yet another fab class from you ! (i know it’s a repeat but I am sucking up ::grin:: )
I would love for you to pick me!30 August 2007, 07:01
Pick me… please? I’ve already been at school for six weeks this term… and I missed my summer break due to moving across the world. :( So please please pretty please pick me! :)
30 August 2007, 07:02
cant remember that far back at school LOL !!!! but my middle DD (i have 3) is starting a new school and its a senior school so this is very frightening for me as a mum that she fits in ok!!!
30 August 2007, 07:17
hey Shimelle, I’m excited by the idea of this class since I was planning to blog daily in September, both my regular and photo blogs. I’m trying to develop good daily habits :)
30 August 2007, 07:19
Hi,
I like your blog very much.
Regards from germany
Michaela
30 August 2007, 07:50
This will be my very first day at a new sort of school and I’m a bit scared. Sooooo I’d love to be able to bring a friend to hold my hand! (AND she can see the screen better than I can so I wouldn’t need to sit in the front row!)
30 August 2007, 08:05
I totally get what you said in the first line there… It’s my 5th day at a new job in a totally new field for me with totally different people… Even though I like the work, I still feel a bit awkward…
Would love to look forward to coming home and ’ play’ with my screen friends!!

30 August 2007, 08:11
Love what you are doing and really debating signing up for the class…JUST NEED MORE TIME!!
30 August 2007, 08:16
sounds like a fun class!
30 August 2007, 08:30
Fingers crossed here!
30 August 2007, 10:21
Sounds like a fab class!
I’ve been checking your blog daily for ages with no updates – typically the couple of days I have problems with my internet and you update! lol
I hope you’re enjoying your new job! :)
30 August 2007, 10:22
School milestones make me emotional…
On the first day of school this week, my 8-yr.-old son’s English teacher asked them to write about what they would wish for if they could catch a shooting star. After raising his hand and politely informing her that it is not possible to catch a star, he wrote that he wished for school to be in the summer too. So thankful he loves school (and wondering what I need to do to improve summer at home, lol!)
I’d love to “go back to school” this fall, too! ;o)
30 August 2007, 10:30
Thank you for all the inspiration you share!
30 August 2007, 10:32
Looks like a great class!
30 August 2007, 10:33
I already signed up but I wouldn’t mind bringing a friend (just so I will have someone to sit with….)
30 August 2007, 11:30
Oooh, so looking forward to this!
30 August 2007, 11:45
This class sounds like a lot of fun! I’d love to take it!

30 August 2007, 12:30

30 August 2007, 12:56
Love reading your blog, always makes me smile. The Cup cake recipes are truly scrumptious. Would love to have a go at this class, although there maybe fights over the ‘friend’ place – i know a couple of people who could do with cheering up!
30 August 2007, 13:08
This class sounds cool – pick me please!
30 August 2007, 13:18

30 August 2007, 19:48
As I am very new to all this scrapbooking, journalling and photography I am very ready to try new things… especially now I have finished education myself – after returning to college when my baby started pre-school – this course would be ideal to try new things…. so please choose me.
30 August 2007, 19:55
I am in a terrible scrapping funk. I would love to learn something new every day. :)
30 August 2007, 21:48

Thank you for this helpful information . As , The assignment has been a cause for many student problems but not for me. Because I have the ultimate solution for each and every assignment-related problem before it occurs. As I opt to <a href=“https://www.assignmentdesk.co.uk/do-my-assignment”>do my assignment</a> based services always help me in getting over the line. Because their professional help is something for which we all students crave.
