Marvelous Monday Update 5/3/2010

SCHOOL
I am in my last couple of weeks of International Business. I have to say it's been quite the interesting class, but I think it is the instructor that makes it so. She is young, well-educated, and has traveled around the world.

Last week, I forgot to share some awesome news. I went to see the counselor before I chose next semester's class(es) and found out I have 8 classes remaining before I complete my BS degree. I was working toward a double major in Business Administration and Accounting.

I found out that if I take the right electives, I can actually complete a third major... in Finance. I about fell over!


STITCHY STUFF
Kokeshi Doll is now being featured on the StitchN-Chat homepage. How cool is that?!

Last week, Carol of iStitch asked what I used to cut my mats. I don't have the money or space to have a machine (boy, how great that would be!), but I do have mat cutting hand tools.

I bought these about 15 years ago from Michaels. They're pricey but since I'm a photographer and a stitcher, they've paid for themselves many times.

I also have one of these for mat cutting. It cuts circles and ovals.


GIVEAWAYS
Jennifer over at Feathers in Nest is hosting a giveaway in celebration of Mother's Day. Hop on over to check it out.

Edgar is also hosting a giveaway. He's celebrating his 3rd year blogversary. Surf over to Blacksheep's Bit of the Web and wish him happy blogversary!
