Guess who I saw at the grocery store? one of my previous 2 year old students! oh, how darling was that. She's so cute and just grown up so much. I was just delighted.
Happy Wednesday. I can't believe we just hit a week into the school year. Already potential changes in the mix, I guess I will know soon enough what is going on. Keep your fingers crossed for me that something good happens. Thanks so much

Happy Saturday everyone. I hope you are looking forward to a nice weekend. I know I am. It's probably good that we start off the year with a four day week, so it's a tiny bit easier on the kiddos. This coming week will be five days and then labor day holiday will give us a four day week.

Day 3....we'll be counting the days for a little while, at least until things start to normalize and the kiddos seem to get the routine and understand what is going on. That's usually a week or two. They acclimate pretty well fairly quickly really.

OK, we all survived day 1 of school, so now we'll move on the day 2 of school. It's all still pretty overwhelming, but at least we have day one under our belts. Here's a great card that I made during a scrapbooking convention last march.

Happy First day to the kiddos! I hope they have a wonderful day, or at least a safe and not overly overwhelming first day. I know the first day jitters are real, for everyone from the teachers to the kiddos and parents. Let's all pull together and make sure everyone is safe, secure and happy today.

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have some fun plans this weekend. I am actually going to meet up with my sister and my mother and we are going to take a class in Turkish lampwork. Sounds like something I would do in Turkiye, huh? well, actually, I have done it in Turkiye, but I couldn't bring it home as it was too breakable and too large once wrapped up in bubble wrap.

Happy Thursday, three more days of training until the kiddos come. I am also doing lots of online training classes. I must confess these are the same exact classes that I take every year, so at year 8, they are hmmm...burned into my memory. Things like, Internet Security, Playground procedures, Campus Security, Bloodborne pathogens, Epilepsy,.....I know it's good that we do these trainings every year as a refresher, but it doesn't make it any easier or faster.

Happy Hump Day! I can't believe we are now less than a week until school "really" starts. That is, until my kiddos come. I am looking forward to seeing how much they have grown this summer. I know I will be shocked, because every year, I am just so suprised at how big that kids get in just two months of summer.

Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope this week has gotten off to a great start for all of you. Have you been watching my store? I am adding the gorgeous lace and embellishments that I got this summer in Turkiye. What fun that was! Be sure to check it out.
Sending prayers to all the schools that are starting up today and tomorrow! https://laceplacebyholley.etsy.com
First full week at the school, it will be a mix of trainings and teacher inservice days. The kids will come next week. I thought this card was too cute, I made it using a card making technique that I learned last year during a convention using paper pads from Echo Park.
Here's some sweet art from the kid's in Turkiye. They all did wonderful art for me. How nice is that. I thought it was just lovely that they gave me their art back, when I gave them craft supplies to enjoy. So sweet.
Day 2 of work, today we actually have training to do. I look forward to seeing my colleagues and meeting a BUNCH of new people this year. Teaching has had a huge turnover in my city. I don't know if it's just my district or the whole profession. It makes me feel sad though as we are losing so many great teachers.
Today is when the staff returns to the school. We usually don't have SO much time before the kids come back. This year we have to work 8 day (all next week and the following monday), Kids start on the 20th. Most of the time, it's three days and BAM the kids are there.....

Happy Hump Day, it's my last day off before school starts for the staff. I would say I am going to do something exciting, but the Texas heat is out in full force. I think I will do my best to relax and cut up some wonderful lace and relax before school starts.
just two more days off, I hope you have been checking out my lace store to see the new goodies that I got when I was in Turkiye. What fun. Be sure and go by the store (link in the bottom) and check it out.
Well, school for teachers starts at the end of this week. The kiddos won't start until the 20th. I am not sure why we have all this time before the kiddos start...8 days is a lot. Whatever. I am ready for the kiddos already. Of course, I have no idea if I have even have any kiddos and what is going on yet, lol, better enjoy my last three days. Welcome back to school, lol!
Wow, I can't believe school is about to start for us? how can this be? I spend my whole summer away in Turkiye and of course by the time I get home and get over Jet Lag, it's time for school....
Here's some wonderful creations from the kids a summer ago
woo hoo, it's Saturday. I am hoping you had a great week and are getting some lovely time off this weekend. Here's a cute card that I made for the DH. I am happy that we can spend a little special time together today.
Happy Friday everyone. I am sure everyone is happy for the weekend. I am glad to get some time with the DH. That's the one down thing about a long vacation, he is not with me.
Wow, I can't believe it is August. I have exactly one week now before I start back to school. we will be working from the 8th to the 19th before the kiddos come to us. I know I am going to be so surprised when i see how much my kids have grown. They will be almost three now. I don't know if I explained before, I do deaf and hard of hearing children. Only kids with that disability come at age 2 to my class, so my class is typically very small (like 2to as many as 5). Most children in the USA start Kindergarten at age 5, though Pre-K is more and more common at ages 3 and 4.
