Saying Goodbye and HELLO!!!

Hello bloggy friends!!......I am sooo excited to start my blog journey.  I truly don't know what I would have done this year without ALL the A...MAZ...ING teacher bloggers out there.  You guys helped me survive my year of cscope implementation. ugh!  My sweet friend, Michelle, over at smittenwithfirst.blogspot.com has been so inspiring and encouraged me to start blogging........eeek!-still a little nervous, though. Oh well, here I go!


So today was the last day for the kiddos.  It's always so bitter sweet.  I'm gonna miss those guys.  One of the kids asked for my phone number :O before he left, ummmm.....I love you dear BUT I don't want you calling me.  I gave him my email address and told him to write me and I would love to write him back. (plus we could work on letter writing skills, right?!)

This was my end of year gift for my kids and their families.  I put them all in frames and attempted to make a ribbon on each.  They turned out sweet! I knew mommas would <3 them but the kids LOVED them!!  They melted my heart with all their thank-yous and hugs.

Well.....I am sure that I have broken some blogging rule out there for rambling too much, I'm sorry, I'll learn.

I Monday MADE IT!!

Hi Sweet and Sassy Friends!!  I have some fun pictures of some things that I have made just in time for school to start and Monday Made It.  {insert cheering and clapping} Okay, first.......I didn't actually make the bench BUT I did repaint it and get it classroom ready.  That should totally count and the fact that I nearly took out the neighbor's window during the process.  {if your my neighbor reading this--I'm sorry and it's okay} Here is the before: {donated by a dear friend-LOVE her} I need you to picture this:  I'm on my front porch with the lid of the bench resting nicely on the back of the bench (easier for sanding).  I'm using a handy-dandy electric sander.  Super powerful.  I place the sander on the lid and push the button..........OH. MY. WORD. the board shoots across the yard towards the neighbors window. YIKES!!  A little embarressing but no one saw, so I pick it up bring it back and this time I hang on to it....
