I mean who isn't listening to the Olympics...mine's going on in the background....I was on pins and needles watching the gymnastics all around last night!
I love being on vacation; I love being with my in-laws even more! I mean seriously, I get to come to Texas every year for a week and a half and get pampered. I got to go to the Yacht Club last night! I can tell you, I definitely don't belong to a Yacht Club at home. Here's a picture from the deck of the club.
Anyway, I'm getting very excited listening to some teachers talk about getting their room ready! I still have a month to go. We start very late, after Labor Day late. I know, some one you guys are probably cursing me, but I bet you get to get out way earlier than I do.
Must have caffeine...if I don't, Mike asks if I've coffee as soon as I start grumbling. Gotta love husbands!
Okay, I know a bunch of people like owls, but this is getting out of hand! I plan to do an owl theme for my class this year; I'm pretty sure I'll be the only one at me school doing, it so it'll be okay. If not, it's all good because I didn't go and buy the ready made kind! I made my own, thank you very much! Check them out!
Then I figured out how to make them in Photoshop , and this is what happened:
I made 25 of them; one for each student (I hope I don't have 25, but just in case). I'm contemplating selling them in my store. What do you guys think?
Flair Pens..that's just obvious.
Crate Seats! I keep seeing them everywhere and I had wanted to do them last year. I got a bunch of MILK CRATES instead of the file crates. So my crates do not have that lip to put the seat on! If anyone can figure out how to make a milk crate into a seat please, pretty please, with a cherry on top, message me!
That's all for now. Go link up with Farley!
Sounds like you're enjoying your time in Texas! I'm a proud Texan so I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. Where exactly are you visiting? Hope you're staying cool...it's been around 107 degrees up here in Dallas!!!
ReplyDeleteI was just at your blog! I'm in Houston :) I'm staying cool or trying to at least!
