6 more days and a Giveaway!

 

 There he is, lurking in the shadows...

What made it worse, was that my 1/2 became a whole day. So after I went in this morning and got a new temp- we were alone! Yes, alone...

But I had such restraint! 

{actually, I went to the back to take a nap, so I didn't even think about him....too much}

Truman and I cuddled up....we were warm and cozy...

And then I woke up and went cuckoo crazy on Tpt....

{If you know the MR....please refrain from sharing that tidbit with him}

We will be making a trip to Office Depot to purchase  more of the ink this weekend!

Since you are all done shopping the big sale- you are probably all wanting to feel a little better.

What makes us feel better than seeing our name and  comment and the random number generator in the same post with the words "WINNER!!!"?

There isn't much that tops it...

I have it on great authority that there is a HUGE giveaway coming.....

it is big

Big!

"I Can't Think of a Title"-Title

#1. getting lots of response to my giveaway......yippee!

#2. Good Job, Kristin- now I have to DVR TWO MORE SHOWS!!! :)  I already have my guilty pleasures (Mob Wives is one- Go Drita!) Uh-ho. looks like there's more time with the puppy and the snuggie on the couch!- Darn it!

#3 Up until this past December, I had never heard of OLW. It is a blessing! This is how our OLW project is going.

So we have really talked about this. I am loving my OLW and I have gotten my family involved.

Our class had a big discussion about choosing your OLW..blah, blah, blah- you know how this part works.
Our words our on our desks. They are under their seating chart on the board.
We made the hats for outside of our room (like the wonderful ones I have seen online). Here are a few of my favorites:

Confidence

Practice

AND I used the 7mil ID laminating pouches to make them "official-card-carrying-owners of OLW":

I just love my girls! I told them to cover their eyes so I didn't have to change the picture online! There is another picture where the card is under their chins, but it is on the "password-protected-class site".

Today we wrote about our OLW- and they shared out- and I cried. They really are a great group of genuinely kind and compassionate children- (when they aren't pinching someone or pulling their hair  or pushing in line or....)

Going with MY OLW : PRIORITY...., I must log off~ We are going in for bloodwork tomorrow (daughter)- the "medicine" isn't working like it should and her levels are low- the MR took her today and she has to go back tomorrow- we may be looking at another stay in Vanderbilt!

Don't forget to enter if you haven't- Entries are due by midnight Thursday! Enter Here!

Currently- January- Giveaway Reminder!

Farley's Currently is making the rounds!
Here is mine:

FYI- I just located a plastic candy cane full of Candy Cane Mint Kisses....never had one before and I thought I broke my freakin' tooth!!! There should be  a warning that the bits of candy cane are so hard!!!! call it Karma- 'cause I totally "stole" it out of a child's room....my mom always said it "wasn't stealing bc it was her house"...whatever  makes me sleep better, right??

Speaking of sleeping better-  I was totally obsessed with peeked at my comments on my giveaway today-
It ends at midnight on the 12th- really, it will be over, and your chances will be gone- you don't want to be upset with yourself bc you didn't try....so I will wait while you comment and enter!! HERE!

(Who was the Lucky Duck who won the 40 and Fabulous giveaway?)

It's My First Giveaway!

Yeah!
I am so excited!
My Giveaway is overdue- I wanted to have one when I hit 100. I had so much support with the stand against the MR and the non kitchen thing- so you all deserve a chance to win something great! (I had "kitchen" today.....bleck!)

So here it is.

 

(Fonts are from Kevin and Amanda and Font Garden)

But it isn't JUST The First 100- It's the also the Second 100 AND the Third 100!!!

Yep, that' right- 300 Fry Phrases in this format!

I am at a school where we do not have access to color printers (and I use my color printer for centers and posters) and I am too scared to use clip art (and post it) until I am Uber-sure I am doing that the right way- I don't want the Clip Art Police at my door! So B&W for things that I make multiple copies of is the key!

Ways I use them (and the possibilities are E.N.D.L.E.S.S)!

Print one class copy on cardstock and laminate- this copy gets used when we are waiting in line some where...(Flashcards), my moms have them in their caddies at times, I use the ppt and  an hour glass timer- they try to read as many slides as they can, sentence enhancers and my fav- They are on my class website for those parents who want to have a copy at home (and will use them)- and they don't have to print them if they choose not to!

What- not enough to make a "non-follower" become a "squirrel-a-holic"?

Ok, how about three winners?

Still not biting???

Ok, you twisted my tail... I'm throwing in  (and I feel a little like Oprah)....

TOTALLY NON-RELATED:

Earlier, Kerrie at Teacher Bits and Bobs posted about her Target find and as soon as I saw it, I squealed! She found the cutest little take-out box -treat-holder-thingys so I yelled to the Mr, 

"MR!- WE HAVE TO GO TO TARGET- STAT!"

and so we did and I bought all of them!!! Plus the ice cube tray for "making" crayons.

I LOVE THEM! I will fill them with Candy and write something like "I'm Nuts about you!"

Have a great week this week!
