Christmas in July!

Christmas has come early this year my friends.  Seriously, I was in a store yesterday and saw one of the employees putting Santa Claus decorations out on the shelf.  Really?!?  Of course, there was NO patio furniture to be found, which is what I was looking for.  It's July!

Blog Hoppin is celebrating Christmas in July too!  But this is way more fun.  The button below will take you to my store where all my seasonal products will be 20% for 1 day only!  July 25th is your only chance to get these items on sale!  Stock up now! 

Hop on over to Blog Hoppin to check out the sales in the other stores:

P.S. ~ yes this is my second day in a row of posting twice in one day.  I'm going to be kicked out of the blogosphere for sure now.

I'm Not Here Today!

Find me over at Tori's Teaching Tips

Tell Me More!

Ok, I know I'm not supposed to post twice in one day.  But I've been gone for 2 weeks and I'm making up for lost time!  And I found a really fun linky party.

Mrs. Lemons is having a Tell Me More Linky Party!

Ok, here's some more about me:

1.  I'm the oldest of four, but the shortest (even with heels on!)  I love, love my siblings.  We are very close.

2.  I am a huge Red Sox fan!  My bridesmaids took me to a game for my bachelorette party!

3. I grew up in a pet-less house.  We have a lot of allergies in my family, so the only animals we ever had were fish.  My friends used to make fun of me because I had absolutely no interest in animals.  Not sure when  or why my feelings changed, but now I am a proud mommy of a cute little puppy!

4.  They always say that girls marry someone just like their dad.  I definitely did!

5. The beach is my favorite place to be!  I just got home from Hawaii, where we went to many, many beaches but my beach at home will always be my favorite!

6. Friends is my all-time favorite show.  I can quote every episode.  I watch re-runs every day!

7.  I played soccer for years.  I decided to join my husband's co-ed adult team.  I broke my wrist in the first game.  I now watch from the bleachers!

Well there you have it.  Some interesting facts about me!

Aloha! And a Freebie!

I'm back!  Back on the mainland, that is.  My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful time on our honeymoon in Hawaii.  Here are a few pics:

I got some shell necklaces :)

Those are the only pictures I have right now.  The rest are on my husband's computer.  Which is with him.  At work.  Poor thing did not want to go back to work today!

But don't worry, I'm back at work too!  Okay, technically, I'm sitting at home, with my puppy, watching The Today Show.  But!  But I am also working on stuff for my TpT Store!  I updated my Monthly Teacher Calendars.  I added monthly blank calendars that include full weeks (Sun-Sat) as well as blank calendars with school weeks (M-F).  Click the picture to see more!

I created a freebie for you too!  Here is the September versions of the calendars and calendar covers.

I added it to Manic Monday at Classroom Freebies

Check it out for lots more freebies!

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July!!  This is my absolute favorite holiday of the whole year!  Here's a picture of my brother and my cousin (kinda) from last year:

I received a request yesterday to make some blank calendars for teachers, students and even TpT sellers to use.  I was excited - I like getting requests!  I got started right away and here's the finished product:

They are available in both of my stores:

Next up, check out Luckeyfrog's Lilypad Giveaway!

She's giving away a lot of great stuff this week!!  Hop on over and check it out!

Ok.  That's it.  I'm out.  For 2 whole weeks.  I'm headed to Hawaii bright and early tomorrow morning - woohoo!!  As much as I love blogging and TpTing (is that a word?), I've promised myself a whole two weeks off.  Completely.  Except maybe the plane ride.  It's 9 hours.  I'm deathly afraid.  I'm not scared of planes.  I'm scared of sitting still.  Eeek!

Have a great holiday and I can't wait to see you all when I get back!

I'm Not Crafty...but I Monday Made It!

 Like the title says, I'm not crafty at all.  I just don't have that creativity gene.  Somehow I was put in charge of making a board for memories for my dad's Surprise 50th Birthday Party.  At the last minute.  I quickly rushed out to get supplies and get started.  Hoping for the best!  (sorry for the awful pictures, I was in a hurry!)

I started with a bulletin board, wrapping paper, ribbon and flags I created with clipart from Lettering Delights: 

I put the wrapping paper on the bulletin board and arranged the letters across the top.

Then I decided that they looked better like this:

And wa-la!  A bulletin board for memories.

So that's the extent of making things so far this year.  I'm definitely considering this a Monday Made It!

Currently...

Hellooo July!!  Here is my Currently for this month:

Thanks Farley!  I love to look back at my Currently's to see what I was doing during each month.  Kinda like a mini-diary.

Anyways, my favorite food in July is ice cream!  Which inspired this:

There are over 300 fact cards and there are some games and center activities as well!  Love me some ice cream!
