The attention span of a ...

So I was suppose to be reading over a teacher's manual for a training day on monday.
Instead i found myself making this!!!

I've seen them all over splitcoast, and even though i have tons of these a school, I've never decorated one.

This will come in handy during my training.

It's the best time of the year...

Remember that ad that Staples did about back to school time? by this time in the summer i really am ready to go back to work/school and start a new year of teaching.
I know I might not feel that way by october LOL!
Teaching Heart is hosting a week of give aways starting on the 10th. I'll be checking in daily to see what goodies are to be had. I won a give away from them last year and got some awesome stuff!!!

Christmas in July

I've been trying to get a headstart on my Christmas card this summer. I had cut the Joy and Noel last year with my Slice but hadn't made a card with them, they just sat lonely like all my other wonderful Christmas stuff in a tub waiting for me to get of my butt and start creating!!

the background papers came from a cardstock stack i got at Joann's last year after christmas too!

I have no idea why the computer decided to put the one card sideways!!
