Happy Holidays

 Happy December!  WOW, how did this year get to December already?  it's just 24 days to Christmas, 177 days to TURKIYE!!  (and if I go 108 days to the March convention in Irving Texas).  So much to do, so much counting, lol.  WHich makes me chuckle a little because at school I am constantly counting to the number of kids in the class (9), making sure I know where everyone is ALL the time.


this card has doors that open up to see the inside of the card, Happy Holidays!!

Holiday Cheer

 Happy Friday, or in American this day is often referred to as "Black Friday" it's considered a big sale day for many stores in preparation for the Christmas Holiday.  The name Black Friday comes from the fact that a lot of businesses go from the "red" to "black" (i,e, not yet profitable for the year to profitable for the year) on the Friday following thanksgiving.  Nowadays, esp with computers and sales running 24-7 worldwide, I have to wonder if that is really true anymore.

Thanks

 Happy Monday everyone!  I am so happy to be off this week and have a little extra time to see family and add some goodies to my store and take orders.  Here's a little Thanks card for the occasion.  Do other countries have a celebration day such as Thanksgiving?  probably some other time of the year?

Bless this house

 Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you are having a great day.  I am happy to be home from the convention. I got lots of wonderful cards made, over 200 and had a lovely time. I can't wait to share with you all the great things I made.  I am happy to be home though, I get very little sleep in strange beds.

Lemon today?

 Happy Friday everyone.  It's Foodie Friday at school and we'll be discovering something delicious for the kiddos today.  I can't wait to see if they love it or not.  I hope that at least they give it a try.  The other week we have dragonfruit and papaya.  I think both were a hit.  At least more kids than not liked them.

Tree Card

Wishing you all a great day. Since it's Monday we will go for a walk at the Texas Capitol grounds with the kids.  As you can imagine, it's a huge area, so there's much to see (statues and memorials) plus just general things that three year olds can learn about  like local vegetation and insects...)  One of their favorite places is what we call the "climbing tree" which is a tree that is low enough to the ground that we can climb on it.

Bloom and Grow

 Hope you are having a lovely weekend.  I am at training, not in Austin, but in a city just north of us called Round Rock.  It's at Kalahari Resorts.  Not looking forward to paying Uber to take me there and back everyday. But I am looking for some personal growth as a teacher.
