I am a little sad that Christmas has come and gone. It’s truly a magical time and I enjoyed every minute of the Christmas season including the 2 week break. 

We had several family Christmas gatherings and enjoyed the time spent together. The gifts were generous and I always feel extremely blessed. And, the gift of time to slow down, rest and catch up on sleep {and my DVR shows} is the icing on the cake. It’s going to be mighty hard to get back in the swing of work next week.

I did manage to get dressed one day this week and venture out to hit the after Christmas sales. I literally walked into Hobby Lobby an hour after they opened and all their Christmas goodies were 80% off. Which is more or less .. FREE! HA! And to sweeten the deal I received a gift card for Christmas so it really was FREE! Sweet!

I finished up my newest product.. Winter Clip Cards.

      

It includes 12 sets of cards that are super simple to prep, store and use! These will be put to use in my classroom next week.

   

I have also been working on these two products.

The first is a 2015 Calendar Activity that I will share as a freebie.  The other is my next set of Cut and Paste Printables- the Valentine’s Day edition. I use these as morning work each morning with my first graders. I will let you know when both are ready!

This folder and “pile” of work has been sitting on my kitchen counter for a few days. I keep moving it around but just cannot muster up the motivation to actually plan for next week. I did pull and prep some things before school was out in December so I am not that far behind. I will be heading to my classroom this morning to make some copies and get organized for my little ones to walk in the door Monday morning.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy your last few days before Monday! Happy, Happy New Year! I ate my black eyed peas yesterday for good luck!
