Favorite Pins Friday!

I am so excited to be linking up with the fabulous Cara from The First Grade Parade for her Favorite Pins Friday!

I am OBSESSED with Pinterest and if you are constantly pinning like me, you need to link up!

1.  I'm loving these adorable idea for beginning of the year.  It's a cute treat bag to give your favorite teachers, or just all of them. =)  Who doesn't need extra of these.  I got this idea from a sweet blogger Dream Girl Lisa, who has some great ideas and cute crafts!

2.  I love this next pin.  I got this from Chicka Bug and it's such a great idea for the class.  

I don't know about you, but when we have a birthday party, I am always scrambling around and looking for forks and spoons for the cupcakes.  This would be great to set up at the beginning of the year and keep refilling it as you go.  I love the bright colors too!

3.  This next pin is one of my faves and can't wait to get started!  I have been obsessed lately with chalkboard EVERYTHING!  So when I saw this, I knew I had to make one as well.  This pin comes from the very creative Second Grade Nest.  It's so easy to make and after reading the post, I have all of the things needed for it!  Can't wait 

I was thinking of putting the Spelling/Vocabulary words for the week on the board since I am trying to have some more space on the bulletin boards for visuals. =)

4.  Non school related!  Our engagement party is July 20th and we are trying to get things done for it.  One of my favorite things that I ordered was originally taken from a pin!  I got SWEET idea from Mutludukkan.  I ordered them from someone I know who bakes.  Can't wait to see how they look. So cute!

5.  This last pin is also something I plan to make for our engagement party.  It seems easy and cheap enough too with a lot of elegance! 

This would be great for centerpieces.  Don't you love?

Can't wait to get started on all of my pins!!  

What do you have on your Pin-List 2 do?

Link Up!

Linking Up With Love!

Happy Sunday all!  Hope everyone had a great weekend.  I caught up on a lot of rest! 

I am so glad to be linking up with a fabulous blogger!  I am hookin up with Tessa from Tales from Outside the Classroom.

I love this linky because Tessa wants us to include things we love right now not just products!  

First, I want to say I love this man so much!

He's my best friend, my own personal comedian, ugh just everything!  I'd be lost with out him!

Which leads me to my next love...

 I love the ring he got me August 23, 2012!  It's so special and I always unconsciously find myself looking at it and giving it a kiss.  Weird right? LoL It's just amazing!

I love love love....

My beautiful most amazing best friends!  They are my maid's of honors and my other half.  When people first meet us they ask if we are sisters! LoL  They say we act the same and even talk alike...so we go along with it. =)  I love the picture on the left because we were in highschool then and my gosh are we just scary. LoL  I love how my one friend has a paper on her hand, I have a calculator (Ti-83 remember those) and pens in my pocket and my other friend has her skirt hiked up!  We always giggle and say things have not changed. =) Oh to have great friends.

Now on to my favorite products.  Well first I love my very own

Valentine's Day Craftivity!

  

It's full of fun printables the kiddies can work on for the day of love. =)

  Hop on over to my { TpT } store to see what's included!

Another one of my favorite treats going around Pinterest is

I plan on making these for my little ones on Valentine's Day.  It originally comes from Diana from Secret Life of Paper

What an adorable goodie bag to give to my little ones.  I am sure they will love it...and so will I. 

Finally I am so very thankful for...

and my bloggy world.  I have met so many awesome bloggers these past 8 months on here.  I love sharing my ideas and also learning from other great teachers.  Everyone is so supportive and welcoming to newbies like myself, it's so refreshing!  

What are some things you love?

12 in 12 Linky!

Hey everyone.  So far I have a post everyday this week!  Talk about being with it. =)  I am so excited to do this 12 in 12 linky!  Sounds like such a fun way to get to know some fabulous teachers!  I am linking up with the one and only Hadar !

 

 

12. Favorite movie you watched:

 

I would like to say that I did see some terrible movies. And as much as I want to say "Magic Mike" was my favorite...I'd feel awful because it didn't have a good story line just some fabulous eye candy !  So  here is mine..

 

 

 

Well let me explain this movie... It's about Denzel ( awesome actor) who's a pilot and the plane unfortuantely crashes.  However because he was such a great pilot he was able to save the plane from killing anyoone.  After some investigation they find that he had been doing somethings before the flight that are ...let's just say illegal!  My fiance says it's a true story.  Not sure if he's lying or not but it just definitely gets you thinking!  If you are already afraid of planes...Do NOT watch this. =)

 

11. Favorite TV series:

 

Is it bad if I say any "Housewives" I am obsessed with?

 

 

 

Please don't judge me for absolutely loving these ladies!  They are not my idols by any means.  But boy do I just laugh and giggle when I see them.  They are well beyond their 30's and the drama never ends.  It's always fun to see the new characters and see the different spin they give they show.  If you haven't watched it, just watch one episode!  It sure will make you laugh. =)

 

 

10. Favorite restaurant:

 

 

Okay seriously I just love this restaurant.  Yes it can be a tad over my budget but whenever my honey and I had a fun day or even getting over a tiff.. we are always like...let's go to Franco's for dinner.  Yum.  I want some now.  My favorite dish is called "Chicken Danielle" : Chicken w prosciutto, mozz and roasted red peppers. Ahh Now I want some!

 

 

9. Favorite new thing you tried:

 

Obviously my TpT Store and my Blog!  I am forever grateful to my buddie/bridesmaid Teri for introducing me to it.  It's so weird. I go home and either blog or craft and I can't seem to remember what I used to do before TpT or my Blog ever existed. So thanks girl! =)

 

8. Favorite gift you got:

 

Wellllll......

 

 

I got engaged. I love this picture.  I look so truly happy! =)

 

 

 

I just love it so much!!  People are always saying how gorgeous it is and they could see it shine from across the room. <3

 

 

 

7. Favorite thing you pinned:

 

 

 

No, I am not married yet nor do I live with my honey, but I can't wait until I do.  And I know I will feel this way. 

 

 

 I also know I feel this way for sure. =)

 

 

How true is this? At least I know for my fiance and I it is.  I think when we are bored we just annoy each other. =) Ah it makes me smile.

 

 

 

 

6. Favorite blog post:

 

Definitely my post on how to make crates!  It was so much fun making it and I loved the end result:

 

 

Can I just say my kids absolutely are obsessed with these crates and always want to sit in them.  And can I say my chair is the most comfortable thing ever!

 

 

 

 

5. Best accomplishment:

 

Definitely finising my Master's in Reading.  It's such a great feeling to know I futhered my education and have learned so much through the process.  I completed my master's at

 

 

 

Great program for us teachers with some awesome professors!

 

 

 

3. Favorite memory

 

Definitely getting engaged!

This is us the following day at our mini "engagement party"

 

 

 

 

One of my best bridesmaids made this for me and I just loveeeee it. <3

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Goals for 2013:

 

Be more organized!

Spend less on silly things.

Enjoy life and truly enjoy every minute you spend with your family. 

 

1. One Little Word:
