out like a lamb

Well, I was thinking all day about writing a funny April Fool’s Day post, but I couldn’t think of anything creative. I did try to tell my second graders that I would no longer be their teacher, but they didn’t believe me. (Some may have actually been happy about it :/) Anyway, today I will be introducing a new series on this blog, which will wrap up each month. It’s “the Best of”!

Just a few images to wrap up March! I certainly hope the spring weather is coming. There’s lots to look forward to this April.

And a very BIG Congrats to D & K on their engagement!! ♡

wood.

Delivery!! I love that the package says “Elementally Bound” on it!! I recently placed an order with Woodworks, Ltd and it arrived in the mail today! I ordered some wooden discs to make earrings, wooden gift tags and some little men and women to make wedding toppers. I can’t wait to start painting and decorating them!

in honor of pebbles.

When I was about nine or ten years old, I got my first pet for about $10.00. I was at sleep-away camp at the time and we went to a flea market. There was a man selling turtles out of a little swimming pool. When I got her, I named her Pebbles. I made this sign at camp and it’s been under her tank for the last 17 years. So this post is in honor of Pebs, who is no longer with us. She will certainly be missed! <3

a birthday’s a birthday…

no matter how small! Hello! Happy Read Across America Day! In case you don’t already know, Read Across America Day is a fun day at school where we get to celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday. I love spending the day reading Seuss books; especially The Lorax. And, it’s the only day of the year that I can wear a “Thing One/Thing Two” shirt! I just had to take a picture using my chalkboard speech bubble (soon to be available for sale)! Anyway, in honor of today, I decided to make some cake pops for my class (of 26 students).
My friend Diana, owner of  Cake Popperie, does some amazing work with cake!Her cake pops are all hand decorated and are simply adorable! You almost feel guilty eating them! Well, she inspired me to make some of my own!! I didn’t really know what I was getting into when I decided to take on this project. They are a lot of work! Even though they didn’t come out perfectly, like Cake Popperie’s, my second graders didn’t seem to notice. I’m not sure if there will be a next time, but I certainly had fun learning how to make them! Here are some of Diana’s creations that she made for Christmas…I especially love the reindeer with the pretzel antlers!
