A toot!! & a few other things

I was super excited & thrilled to get an email from Amy Knepper inviting me to be on her fabulous CT. She sells at Scrapdish & Digichick
I love her designs & I'm always stalking her blog, lol. I'm so happy to be working with the very talented Tracy, Robin, Melinda, Mish, Emily,Cathy, Audra & Cass (hope I've not left out anyone).
I'm so angry right now. I was supposed to have a job interview, this morning, it is for a part-time teaching job at an international school nearby. I had spoken with the principal twice over the phone & we agreed on the date & time, a month ago. So today, my husband stayed at home to take care of Maanasa when I'm gone. I got everything ready, printed out my CV etc etc & reached there on time to find the principal away, no one knows where she is & finally a nice lady found me waiting in the reception, so she tried to call the principal over her mobile, which is promptly switched off. Finally she reached & found out that the lady had sent me a mail a couple of days ago, asking me to call before I come. I didn't get any emails from her, I come home & check my bulk folder, there it was, but it was sent only yesterday evening & not a couple of days back & it says about how sorry she was for not being able to offer me a job right now. I was so mad & I just want to call her & say that she should've atleast called me yesterday to tell me about it rather than sending an email in the last minute & expecting me to check my email all the time. I'm not so mad at not getting the job, it is ok, I don't really need the job, in fact, I was a little hesitant abour applying for it, in the first place, it is just her attitude, the rudeness and perfectly unprofessional behavior that makes me mad.
Moving onto more pleasant things, like scrapbooking, lol.
I resigned from Bella Gypsy designs, Lena & Tabatha are really nice girls & I'll be missing working for them.
I have lots of layouts to share:

I've listed the words she says so far. Amma means mom & appa means dad in our language,mum mum is for food, bow bow is dog, she also says Thitha- it's a nickname for my friend's daughter, but she uses it to call all little girls & boys, lol.
I used Merkeley's Glitter Rope & Inked Tickets available at Digiscrapping.biz.

Exciting stuff

Nothing really exciting, but can't think of an appropriate title,lol. So I've not even going to talk about how long it's been since my last post, lol. Maanasa is 14 months old now & she says about 12 words, she runs everywhere, she doesn't want to sit in her stroller, so that makes going out a bit difficult, not that I want to go out in this horrible weather. It's been raining since 2 weeks & it's so cold, the central heating is not yet on & we are freezing.
In digiscrapping news, I'm CT member of Lyndsay Riches, I'm so excited about it. She has some fab. stuff at PDW. Go check it out.
I love the 'Praise Game' at DST. Lots of people get to see your LO's & you get lots of comments too:) So I sign up for it whenever I upload a LO & the actual rules are that you comment the LO of the person before you, but I try to comment on everyone who has signed up. It's great fun. I love to see everyone's layouts & get inspired. So my favorite folder is filling up so fast.
A few layouts:
