Table Signs.

Hi again! I have an addition for today that I didn't have ready when I posted this afternoon. It is a new listing in my TpT Store. Sorry for the double post!

Glossybox and Classroom Behavior Lotto Freebie 2 Colors

Hi everyone. I have a case of the "tireds" the last couple of days. The "I don't think I can get off the couch" syndrome. Do you ever have that? Gosh, I hope it improves soon. LOL

We have done a lot of traveling lately so I think that is part of the problem. . .

My highlight this weekend was receiving my first Glossybox! 

I used to be a member of "Birchbox" but wanted to try something different just for fun. 

I have only received one "Glossybox" so far, but am really impressed with the quality and size of the products.

Now, I can't wait to see what the July box will feature. :)

I did manage to work on a small thing for school today even in my lazy state . . .which is pretty much a miracle!

I use one of these each year as a whole class incentive. I send mine to Costco.com Photo and have it enlarged to 11 X 14ish. When the kids do something as a class that I want to reward, I cover a box with a little sticky note. Once it is full, we have a special activity of some kind. They really love to watch the progress as it gradually gets filled up.

Greeting everyone. I hope you are enjoying June so far. I have been helping my husband organize and paint the garage the last few days. Big job!

Here are the labels I made.

Character/Lifeskill Posters Freebie

Happy Monday! Are you out of school for summer break yet? We have been out for 2 weeks. 

As I have mentioned we have a list of home projects we are working on. Next week, we are going to work on the garage. We are painting the walls, organizing and putting an epoxy coating on the floor. We will see how it goes. ;)

A couple of days ago we made a new batch of handmade soap. I LOVE how it turned out. It is Peppermint Mocha. We got the recipe from Offbeat and Inspired.

Here is Freebie 4. It is a set of 6 posters that address the 6 Pillars of Character. We are going to be using this program for our school this coming year.

Direction Signs Freebie and Mason Jar Mania

Hey everyone! Sorry Freebie #3 is so late. We have been so busy the last 2 days. We completely rearranged the kitchen. Took everything out of all cabinets and pantry, cleaned and put things back in a nice, orderly way. Big job! It is such a great feeling to have it done. We finished this afternoon and then had to go to Costco and Barnes and Noble. It is about a 45 minute drive to the community where they are located, so of course we HAD to eat dinner at Texas Roadhouse as well. ;)

I found a book that I am so excited about! Well, first off . . .I should explain that I have a thing for Mason Jars! I don't know why but I reeeaaalllyy like them. Imagine my excitement when I saw this book at Barnes and Noble today:

I picked it up and bought it without even opening it. They had me at "Mason Jars".

I am planning to look at it this evening while I watch my DVR'd episodes of The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show and drink my to go cup of Sweet Tea from Texas Roadhouse. YAY!!

Anyway, here is Freebie #3 . . .
