A Whole Mess of Stuff While the Sirens Blare Away... Eeekkk!!

Okay, I'm about to pass out, so if there are misspelled words and mistakes all over this post, don't yell at me!! I felt it was my Bloggy duty to post for you though because I've neglected all my Bloggy people, and all of a sudden I'm 1 follower away from 300. I can.not.believe this. Like seriously people, I just play around on my computer and make stuff because I'm sooooo OCD about everything. I heart all of you to the max. I made a lot of stuff, fixed a few things, and posted a few things in my store. Things that took me a while got posted in my store, a few other things are here as freebies. I'm going to the Chalkboard (a teacher's store in Northern Illinois) tomorrow... it could get ugly. We'll just see what kind of haul I come back with. Anyway here are some things that are finished. Other's still need some finishing touches.

On Google Docs, for those of you looking for other ones!

If you need something customized, please, please, please e-mail me with specifics. Some things are really quick and easy to customize (many I've already done for others), other things take much more time and I'll set up a special listing on Teacher's Notebook for an extra fee. Especially with all the craziness with school coming soon. On another note, thank you to the suggestions for mosquito bites... I can only imagine the boy's face as I go to bed with tape and unheard of concoctions all over my mosquito bites!! Alrighty my loves, as I go to bed and listen to the storm rolling through, I'll try to think of my 300 followers giveaway!! :)


Side Note: As I was just about to hit send, the TORNADO sirens went off. It's like midnight... I've never heard them go off at night, SCARY!! Matter of fact though I've had the sirens go off more in the past month than probably in my 26 years of life!! Eeek!!

I could get used to this...

I haven't much moved from the couch today. I saw someone post something on ProTeacher about getting the motivation to get up from the computer. I have an excuse though... I have no way to leave today, because my car is at the car place getting his checkup. So there, take that. I have successfully made it through the morning, busy creating away from the help of this guy blasting from Napster:

{love him}

It actually all started because the kept advertising his special on CMT, which then forced me to venture to the closet to take out my boots which haven't been worn in far too long. So anyway I'm midway through his 3rd CD and I'm taking a break to get emotional while I watch my Cubbies lose [yet] again. Wah.

So here's what I've created, most of them based off request, some based off need to be redone to match my room. I'm still looking for new ideas to create stuff, but I think I'll take a break, and I dunno... take a shower? do some laundry? put away dishes? Probably not :)

Alright, time to eat my words already. My Cubbies took the lead... let's just hope it can last through 3 more innings. I think I'm getting the itch to take the Cricut out... let's see what comes from this :)

6 Traits Writing Posters

We use the series Good Habits, Great Readers. In 1st grade the writing program was very... I dunno, dry? Not really dry, but it stretched things out WAY too long for firsties! I'm excited to see what 3rd grade's consists of, or maybe I'm dreading it? No really, I'm keep an open mind! Anyway I still think the 6 Traits are a key of writing so here are my posters... I spiced them up a bit from what they used to look like. I have a polka dot version and a zebra version. I started to do a primary colors one, but everything wouldn't edit well, so I didn't continue... Sorry all my primary color friends!! I also posted polka dot library labels in the post below that talked about how I sorted my library.
