Oh....the places you will go

 Happy Monday everyone!  just one more day.  I am so ready to go, or am I?  i might be spending the day stressing about what I have and what I have forgotten....making lists of what I need to remember to bring at the last minute lol;  then again, I have all of tuesday morning and afternoon to be doing that too.  Maybe I should just go out somewhere today to try and stay busy.

I am so looking forward to going a few places this summer, mostly I hope to get a chance to visit a city called Eskisehir as well as a city called Konya.

Guest Designer Kids of Turkiye

 Thought I would share a project from the school kids in Turkiye.  Usually i take art supplies that we do together OR I show up and kids surprise me with art that they did for me. It's so very sweet.  They are lovely, well behaved, bright-eyed, and so friendly to the guests.  I really appreciate that.  They have a good teacher, one of my dear friends from a LONG time ago now, back in 90....wow, doesn't that make me feel old.

Love you Most!

 Happy Saturday all!  so happy to be done with school for the year and looking forward to traveling in just THREE days now.  I can't believe so much changed this year.  I am so very thankful for that.   Most especially for my DH who made most of the changes possible and was super supportive (and bought me tickets to Turkiye).

Celebrate, it's the last day!

 Happy Friday everyone. It's the last day at FUMP today.  We are having a teacher in-service day. I don't really know what we will be doing. Like AISD, it's supposed to be a training day, but usually involves a lot of clean up and readiness for summer.  Though I know our classrooms get used in the summer time for several classes.  I am getting pretty excited...just FOUR days to go.

Last call for lace before summer....

 Hi all, it's the last week before I go to Turkiye so I am closing the lace store for the summer, please if you want anything, grab it now, else I won't be able to fill orders until August when I return.  I look forward to seeing what they have in the lace stores in Turkiye this year.

Heart card

 Happy Tuesday.  Sharing this simply sweet card today. I actually used this card when I got an order at my etsy store that asked for a GIFT NOTE to be added to the order.  I put the gift note with the purchase inside this card and sent the lace order to the receipient.

Memorial Day

Happy Memorial day.  The last several years school has been ending before this holiday but for some strange reason this year we are dragging on two whole days after today off.  WHAT? well, it's fine, it cost me an extra week of vacation in Türkiye and of course, pushed me into June of buying a ticket which made the ticket cost more.  

Here's a thinking of you card in honor of Memorial Day.

 Sharing a couple wonderful journals from Shannon Arrington using gorgeous laces that she gets.  She has a great store on Etsy and you can find her on Facebook.

All you need is....Love

 Here's a cute mini card today that I made with extra goodies in a Simple stories kit.  They usually have enough parts to make the 8 cards they show with lots of cute leftovers to make extra cards as well.  I highly recommend them *(this is NOT PAID recommendation just my honest opinion)

Love you DH

 Happy Friday!  I hope you all have great plans for the weekend.  I was really hoping to get some special time with my DH this weekend.  We just have two weekends left, but then he got tickets to a concert in California so he will be traveling.  WHOOPS.  I would say that makes me sad, but really I am happy for him.  I can't really criticize him for going when I turn around and leave for two months lol. SO I guess I will already share a LOVE YOU card to him, Love you from afar, lol

Piglet

 Happy HUMP day, it's my usual work day today, just three of those left this year.  I can't believe it I will miss all my kiddos.  Usually my job has me going from class to class, I don't spend this much time dedicated to a single class as I have for the last several months.  So I have gotten way more attached to the kiddos.

Hello Friend

 Here's the cutest little mini card using scraps leftover from cardmaking during the convention.  The base is a cardstock from JoAnns.  The text is part of a 12x12 pattern paper and the blue is also part of a pattern paper.  I have learned to use all the scraps I get to make little mini cards .

Teachers change the world

 I had to sneak in one more Teacher card for Teacher appreciation week, all the teachers in my school are so nice and so diligent in their work.  They care so much about their students and work very hard at what they do.  People think preschools are day cares but that is NOT at all true.  These teachers do lesson plans, actually teach the kids things everyday, have class schedules, meetings, just like other teachers.  Little kids before the age of 5 LEARN SO MUCH SO QUICKLY it's critical time for them,
