Hugs Kids
WOW, just two days left at work. I can hardly wait. I must say being in just one place this year was so nice. I saw so much growth in these kids across the school year. I will totally miss them. I hope at least some of them will be coming back to the school next year so I can see them in their next class. Hugs kids, you are my sunshine.

Teacher conferences
Happy Thursday everyone! I hope you are having a great end to the week. I think today we are having parent conferences. I am not sure what that will mean for my class. Usually parents will either choose to do it online or by phone. Occasionally they will bring their kids in, then that's when they need me to watch the child while the parents meet with the teacher.
The store will close in about two weeks, so please put in those last minute orders. Then I will reopen in August will lots of new wonderful laces :) check out the store here, https://laceplacebyholley.etsy.com

Foodie Friday
Happy May. I am sharing a food theme card today since it is FOODie Friday. I don't think we will be able to have watermelon since that is not in season, but I can't wait to see what we will have for the kiddos. The other week we had cherries and only about 2/3 of the class liked them. In fairness I didn't taste them, so I don't know it they were ripe or not, but I was surprised by that. I think the topic for the week is called "SMOOTHIE" friday and all the kids will get a blend of something.

Spread your wings and Soar!
Happy Monday everyone! It's time to start a new week. I am glad that I am off today. Before I used to take off the Monday after Spring Break so I would be able to catch up my store and recoup from a severe lack of sleep (I have a super hard time sleeping in a strange place). Thankful for this day off

You stole my Heart!
Good Morning and Happy Hump Day! It's time to go and see my kiddos and play and have fun. I look forward to a good day (and exhausting, lol). What are y'all up to today? Making plans for Valentine's day this weekend? Today is the actual day of my surgery, so this is the REAL anniversary of the 2nd surgery.
NOTE: someone send me a card yesterday for the contest and I literally can't find it or any copy of the email....even in the deleted folder in my email. Was it YOU? if you don't see your card in the card contest page, please resend it to me....thank you so much. I really don't know what I did.

Question of the day: what types of die cuts do you like?
Monday, February 9, 2026
Love You
Happy Monday everyone! Here's a CAS (clean and simple card) using some great die cuts from Simple Stories. I love their kits, you can make the eight cards that they design and usually you have so many leftovers that you can make your own cards (esp mini sized cards too).

Capture the love
Here's a fun card I made using Simple Stories papers, It says "Capture the love; It was always YOU!" I think I made this cute card out of a kit that was meant for Weddings, but of course I have been married a long time, and I am not going to be making any scrapbook or wedding theme cards, so I turned the supplies into cards like this one here.

It's celebration time! WOO HOO.
Can you believe we are in FEBRUARY AGAIN? this makes it 16 years since 2 brain surgeries in 2010. WOW. I never believed I would be alive at this point. What a time to celebrate. Let me first thank God and a second and million thank yous to Dr Aboumatar who tested, qualified me and arranged and set up my surgeries. Third a giant hug and kiss to my DH who stuck with me through all this. And of course, huge thanks to all of you, the crafters who sent cards, prayed, texted, and gave so much love and support.
