Maria's Monday Madness Video Tutorial and Congratulations to My Daughter

Hi Everyone!! I'm sorry for the double post (I posted this tutorial and card on my club site too) but I just wanted to share my music video! LOL! I acutally made a fairly decent one. I used to have a weekly cardmaking/music video tutorial called "Friday Card Frenzy" but argggh, it was soooooo amateurish, it's embarrassing. I've improved somewhat but I've got a long ways to go.

Anyway. . .if you want more details on this card, visit my "Stampin Inspirations Club Site" or check out the video.

I have something important I want to share with you right now. . .



The imporant stuff I wanted to talk about is my sweet child, Alexis. She was inducted into the "National Honor Society" yesterday evening. Out of 3000+ students in her school, 20 was chosen to be a member of the "National Honor Society". Twenty!! Can you believe it!!

I'm so proud of her, I could cry! She worked so hard and never gave up as far as keeping her grades up. She had stumbled a few times but managed to pick her self up and try, try again.

To be inducted into the National Honor Society, you have to have to possess 4 major qualities. . .scholarship (GPA above 3.7), service, leadership, and character.

My daughter has been part of the Key Club for 4 years and was the Treasurer last year and this year, she is the President of her school's chapter. She participated in couple hundred hours of community service and she also is part of the California Scholarship Foundation. She now can add the National Honor Society.

I'm sorry. . .I don't mean to toot my daughter's horn but I cannot tell you how much of a struggle it was for her last year. She was struggling in her AP Calculus class last year and I thought, oh no, it'll sink her GPA but she worked hard and made it so for her to make it in to the National Honor Society is almost poetic.



This picture is of my daughter with 2 other honorees and coincidentally, her officers (Secretary and Vice-President) of the Key Club. If you have kids entering high school, please let them know about the Key (Kiwanis Educated Youths) club. It's a national organization that benefits the community. . .these kids volunteer countless hours serving the community at large. Visit the Key club website and find out more about it: Click Here

Congratulations, my dear sweet child! I'm so proud of you! Keep up the great work!!
