What a wonderful life!

 Happy Tuesday to all!  I  hope your September is going well so far.  I can't believe we are already on the second week.  I just love the colors of this card.  This paper pad comes from Echo Park and I made some fun cards with it.

Home Sweet Home

 Happy Monday everyone!  Time to go see my little kiddos at school.  I hope they are ready for a wonderful day.  One thing we do on Mondays is take a walk to the Texas Capital.  It's directly across the street from our school and we often play in the park there.  Mondays we take a walk on the capitol grounds.

Flower for you....

 It's the weekend!  yay.  Let's all take a nap.  Or, let's all play with some lace!  Those would be my two favorite things to do.  I am enjoying going through all the amazing stuff I got while in Turkiye this summer and adding it to the store. Here's a lovely dimensional floral card that I made at the Scrapbook Stamp convention last year in Irving, Texas.

Everything with Love

 Happy Friday!  Looking forward to seeing the kiddos today and then enjoying the weekend with my husband.  I can't think of any real plans, but I'm just happy to hang out at home, maybe even sit through a couple football games while cutting lace.

Stay Cool!

 Here's a sweet card today, I am off and working on my lace store. I must say it's about the hottest time of the year for Texas.  It was unseasonably cooler this july due to the crazy rains that many of you may have heard about on the news.  Of course, I was in Turkiye at that time.  Now we are still in a situation where we will hit upper 90s to 100 degree days still.  UGH

Life is good!

 Happy Labor Day to all my American friends who are celebrating the holiday today.  School is closed so I am happy for a day off.  Miss the kiddos though, it's my first year of being assigned to a class so I am enjoying being with the same kids all week.

Grateful

 Happy Saturday.  Ahhh, a time to relax and take lots of naps.   I am so thankful that I can just enjoy that time and take a nap. I know a lot of people don't even have that luxury.  So much to be thankful for....

End of month 1 of school

 Happy Friday!  Yay! time for the weekend.  I can't believe we are at the end of the first month of school already.  Well, it's more like the first half month of school, but still, it's over.  Just nine months to go, lol, Seems like so long when I say it that way, huh? Here's a little tribute to the teachers...

So hot!

Good day!  I hope you are all doing well.  Happy wednesday.  Is it super hot where you are?  It's just blistering here in Texas.  I mean SUPER HOT.  40+C  and often hitting well over 100F UGH.  Sadly it will stay this hot through most of September.  How hot is it where you live?

Sanity

Time to start a new week, so it's MONDAY,  I don't know if that's good or not.  I guess it's supposed to be good. I think a cup of coffee is in order today....man do I miss the joys of Turkish Coffee.  I have a new class at school now, Instead of being a floater I am assigned to the three year old class.  9 smiling faces greet me MWF.

Merhaba, Y'all

 Happy Friday Y'all.  That makes me think of this fun shirt i bought that says, Merhaba, Y'all!  that means Hello (in Turkish) Y'all.  It was a big hit when I went to the Turkish festival here in  Austin.  I will occasionally wear it and sometimes Turkish people will come up to me.  Thought I would add a card today that also says Merhaba, Y'all!
