My Etsy Shop

I just realized that I haven't blogged in a while.  I've been really busy setting up my new Etsy shop.  I have always loved creating teacher resources and printables, so its been fun doing something a little different.

Chalkboard Birthday Printables

These Printable Chalkboard Posters are a great way to celebrate your child's birthday and a wonderful keepsake.  The chalkboard poster will measure 12x18, 16x20, 20x30, or 24x36 and be high resolution (300 dpi). You can either print from home or any printing station. Current expected turnaround time for proof is 1-2 days from receipt of payment and stats. Check out some of my recent projects.

It's February Already!

Does anyone else feel like this school year is FLYING by?  I know that I say it every year, but this one seems faster than ever.  I am linking up with Meghan at Oh' Boy Fourth Grade for Currently February.

Listening- I am loving the new season of Shameless.  It's always a great end to the weekend. 
Loving-  Today was my sister's gender reveal party.  She has known the sex for two weeks and I've been DYING to know.  We were so excited to find out that IT'S A GIRL!

Thinking- I am in desperate need of a vacation.  I am thinking about planning something for Spring Break this year.  Although I love these snow days, I'm ready for some sunshine and warmth.
Wanting- We are expected to get 4-6 inches tomorrow, but it's not starting til morning.  I would love another snow day to catch up on some sleep and work.  We only have one more snow day left, so we'll see...
Needing- I am pretty good at keeping my room organized, but I could use a whole day in my class to go through everything.  My piles keep stacking up and my bins are starting to look like junk drawers.
2 Truths and a Fib-  

1. I have a minor in French- Fib. I definitely did not minor in French, although it would be very helpful right now.  I have a new student from France and I am having a really hard time communicating with her. Google Translator has been my life savor.
2. I have 11 nieces and nephews- Truth.  I am one of six kids and they all have kids. I love having a big family and hope to do the same one day. 
3. I have 5 tattoos- Truth.  They are all small and pretty hidden.  You would never know.  I guess it was a phase in college, lol.
