 Happy tuesday everyone.  It's a workday but I am off on tuesdays so I am happy to be cuttting lace and working on my store this week.  Have you seen all the new stuff I got this year.  Last year I had maybe 80-90 items in the store, this year I have over 200 items.  Here's a cute mini card for you all today.

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!

You are sweet!

 Happy Friday everyone!  Here's a little card for the DH.  What a sweetie.  So thankful for him giving me the ticket that paid for that amazing summer.  I wish I had all the honey in the world to give to him.  Then again, he might not want all that honey.

Happy Thoughts

 Happy Hump day, I will again be at work today prepping the school for the upcoming school year.  I should find out my assignment, I am assuming I will again be a floater going from class to class and helping out everyone.  That's been my favorite lately as it lets me meet each kid in all the different classes.
