Goodies Galore, a Cutie, & a Shout-Out

Well, I got my new hot pink fabric yesterday! Sadly I wasn't able to find a stripe like I wanted, but they did have this gorgeous polka dot so I was happy with that! I also got a rotary cutter (pink for breast cancer awareness) which I need to cut out my triangles for my pennant banner! The sweet cashier at JoAnn's was kind enough to let me use a 40% off coupon that wasn't supposed to be used until Sunday....and my 15% teacher discount! So, I left there tickled PINK with my two pink items! Can't wait to start on that! While I was in town, I ran in the $ Tree and was thrilled to find team caddies and some cute baskets to use for trash when the kiddos are working in their interactive science notebooks. I made some cute labels for the caddies to number them. I'm sharing them if anyone is interested. Just leave me a comment or e-mail me! (I have tried and tried to figure out how to put an image of my labels on here but nothing is working. If you have any advice....please help!) They are super cute and I wanted to show them to you all! I also got my Vista Print order in today. This one was only two items.....there are still a few things I need to order. Here is my banner (which I heart) and a notebook I made for my bills and budget at home! The last picture shows my growing mountain of school stuff! (ook closely and you can see my cat Cruella jumping from the quilt rack to the bed!)I am so ready to get it in my new classroom! I have much more still stored at the high school that I need to move to my new school as well! 
I'm tired just thinking about it!





This isn't teaching related, but I had a blast watching my nephew Jake play lacrosse today! He is really good! His middle school age team won 14-10 and Jake scored 4 of those points!  If you've never watched lacrosse, it is really fun. I would probably end up in a fight though with people trying to steal the ball from me and hitting me with their stick!!! LOL! Here's a pic of him....he's a cutie under the helmet and pads...:)



Before I go, I want to give a shout-out to a couple of awesome ladies....Kathy from Kathy's Coordinated Class is giving away a $20 gift certificate to TPT....WOW! You can get lots of goodies with that! Angie from Timeouts & Tootsie Rolls is giving away a $10 Target gift card to one lucky winner and a second winner will receive a Back to School pack by Ginger Snaps and Angie's own Wild About Learning Take Home Folder covers. Click on their links above to enter! These are some awesome giveaways! I am trying to decide what to do for my 100 follower giveaway....hopefully it won't be long! I'm up to 78 followers!!!!! Not bad after only 3 weeks blogging....:) 

Be blessed!

  1. If some lovely, smart sharing person lets you in on the secret of uploading documents, could you pass it on??? I am like you and can only upload photos (though I am proud of this small accomplishment). looks like you have a mini classroom set up in your spare room...

    Hi Vicky,
    I love your VP banner. I can't wait to see your room when you are done!! I thought I was bad with the shopping and the mounds of back to school purchases!! The joys of being a teacher!!! That would be so sweet of you to give me that Western Theme packet if you won!! If you need help with your 100 follower blog giveaway just let me know!! I would be like to support/help you. I need to start thinking about what I want to do, I have 41 more to go.

  4. Absolutely Judith! I am hoping to figure out a way. I thought I had found a way, but it didn't work. I will be playing around with it some more later today! Crystal....thanks so much for offering to help with my giveaway! I'll keep that in mind! Jessica....let me figure out how to do that, and I will be happy to share...:)I'm off to get ready for Sunday School! Time for me to be the student....not the teacher!

  9. I usually hit the print screen button, which copies a picture of your page, go to PAINT, click paste, and cut out what I am wanting to show. I save it as a JPG file, and upload it as a picture.

    Then I upload the document to google docs, and post the link below the picture. Hope that helps! Email me if you have more questions!
