Who wants to buy some rain water?

We've got nothing but rain here. I'll be more than happy to bottle some of it and mail it out for the low, low price of only $9.99 or two bottles for $18.00. LOL! I'm ready for some sunshine!

The Cheesecake Factory lunch was awesome! After the girls got lunch back to school for us, they realized that none of the cheesecake slices that were ordered were in the bags. We called and they delivered the cheesecakes to us. It was a mistake on their part and they made it right. Way to go Cheesecake Factory!

I have no real plans for the weekend other than sleeping, doing some laundry, sleeping some more and going to a wine tasting. It's probably going to rain all weekend anyway. BUMMER!

Have you seen this cute mini kit that Shel Belle Scraps has given away?



I played with one of the pictures I took of Globie the other day. The girls in the picture are from Trump too. They had lots of energy and the kids really enjoyed the lesson on saving/protecting the environment. They even gave all the kids a beach ball!



The paper and shoe laces are from the May Miscellaneous Kit that Shel gave away. Make sure you go by her blog and pick it up!

I also made a fast layout using the Baby Girl Kit by April the Scrapaholic...



Don't you just love that prego mommy graphic? You can buy the kit at Scrap It Sassy.

Here's another wordart for you...

The last Friday of the school year!

Download wordart here

Only 4 days of school next week! Can you tell I'm excited?

The last Friday lunch is coming from The Cheesecake Factory. We all ordered lunch and cheesecake. The best part is that we all ordered different kinds of cheesecake so that we could share. I'm getting the Snickers Bar Chunk Cheesecake and I'm trying to figure out how to keep it all to myself while still getting a taste of what everyone else ordered. LOL!

We had a cute presentation today by the Kids Planet Club from the Trump International Beach Resort. I got some cute pictures to share with you later.

The teachers also have the opportunity to save about 50% on a room at the hotel until the end of September so that we can take a little "Stay-cation". That's pretty cool and the hotel is super nice so I just might have to allow myself the luxury before the summer is over.

Here's today's extra wordart...

Quick post tonight

Download wordart here

I'm just making a quick post tonight because I'm pretty tired. Today was a really busy day and there was lots more rain. Why is it that the short weeks always seem to tire me out more than the regular ones? Of course, I guess I shouldn't complain since I only have to work 6 more days this school year and 2 of those are half days.

Here's an extra goodie for you...

Rain and more rain

Download wordart here

We didn't get to go to the playground today because it started raining right at recess time. Then it stopped and the sun came out until it was time for me to come home and it started raining again.

It rained pretty hard too. There were people in Miami that had their power knocked out and some of the local roads flooded. One advantage of living on the beach is that we don't lose our power as often as they do in Miami and when we do lose it, it tends to come back on pretty quickly.

Flowerscraps has a new kit coming out called Night Out that is just awesome. Here's a preview for you...



I made two layouts with the kit and plan to do more. Here are my LOs...





You can get the kit at One Single Seed or at Stuff to Scrap.

Back to work

I woke up early this morning to the sound of thunder. Fell back asleep and woke up again when the phone rang. Sleeping late today just wasn't in the cards for me.

We had a nice cookout in between rain storms and stopped at 3 PM for a moment of silence in honor of all veterans. It was a wonderful day!

I took some time to play with April's Baby Boy Kit and here's the LO I made...



This really is a super kit and she's got one for baby girls too!

Sorry, I had to put it on 4shared. Mediafire wasn't playing nicely.

Happy Memorial Day!

We had another cloudy and rainy day so I spent almost an hour on the wii fit which is probably a good thing since I had key lime pie for breakfast. LOL!

We're having a big Memorial Day cookout/party where I live. I hope the sun shines long enough for it to be fun. Or at least long enough for me to get some free food. LOL!

We had rain today, but not as much as yesterday. I spent the morning hitting up some of the weekend sales before the clouds moved in during the afternoon. I took advantage of the cloud cover and napped. LOL!

I scrapped another picture from my London trip. This is a piece of the Berlin Wall that stands in front of the Imperial War Museum. The graphics are from April's Blushing Buttercups kit.



Here's a preview of the beautiful kit. It's available in April's store at Scrap it Sassy...



While you're checking out this kit, you should also look these other cute kits that April has just added to her store.





You should also visit April's blog to pick up this adorable QP she made using her Baby Girl Kit. It's free!



Carol's Rainbow Connection kit is so much fun to work with! Here's another layout I made today...



This kit has endless possibilities and I just love it!

While working on the end of year video I came across lots of pictures that I forgot I had even taken! I'm having fun catching up and scraping them all. Here's one I made using Shel Belle's Memorial Day Kit. The picture is of my Assistant Principal as she made her vote during our election day back in November. I have no idea if she voted for pizza or ice cream, but I know I voted for ice cream. LOL!



You can get the mini Memorial Day kit on Shel's blog along with some beautiful quick and brag book pages. Make sure you check them out!

Man, did we ever have a rainy day! I'm really hoping it clears up and we have a beautiful weekend like the weatherman promised we would. But then again, I will probably get a lot more done if it does rain all weekend. LOL!

I showed the finished movie I made to the other teachers and got their seal of approval. We also wanted the kids to see it and of course they think they're movie stars now. I thought it was cute the first time I watched it through and was proud of the job I did, but after viewing it for what seems like a gazillion times it's not so cute to me anymore. LOL!

I've been lucky enough to join another CT! On top of the wonderful graphics I get to work with for April, Deanna, and Shel, I also get to work with Carol Marion's graphics. I must be the luckiest girl in the world!

I've been using Carol's Rainbow Connection kit to play with Chrissy's prom pictures. Chrissy is my friend's daughter and she is a nice as she is beautiful. She graduates from high school this year and has decided to go to the University of South Florida in Tampa. She also got accepted at the University of Miami and the University of Hawaii. She decided that Hawaii was too far away and that UM was a no go because her sister goes there. LOL! Anyway, here's one of the LOs I made...



Here's a preview of the kit...



Carol sells her kits at Moo Two Designs and Desired Designs ~n~ Scraps.

I've also been using parts of her Aloha Kit for some of my end of year projects since we decided to go with a luau theme. The kit is awesome and Carol gave away some add-on freebies to it on her blog. Here's the preview...



I've got another share for you today from the I Hope You Dance song...

I crossed one more thing off the to do list!

Download wordart here

I've been working on the little video for our end of year program using Microsoft's Movie Maker. Instead of doing it at home, I've only worked on it at school. BIG MISTAKE! I promise that I saved it as I worked, but the computer had a mind of it's own. I would go in and find big red X's where I had pictures the day before. I guess that's what I get for working on it in my spare time.

Anyway, today I decided that I wasn't leaving school until it was completed with at least one copy burned onto a CD or I had thrown the computer out the window. I told everyone that if they found me in my room wearing the same clothes tomorrow not to be surprised. LOL!

There was one time that I got a message that the computer wasn't responding and then all the pictures I had imported turned to red X's and more then once I tried to add pictures to find the files I had uploaded the pictures to were empty. When I went into my documents the pictures were there. The computer just didn't know what it was talking about. LOL!

Anyway, long story short, once I was able to sit down without interruption it didn't take all that long to finish. The computer survived and I didn't have to spend the night at school. Thank goodness!

I used two songs on the movie, Rod Stewart's Forever Young and Lee Ann Womack's I Hope You Dance. The songs made me want to make some more wordart to share so here's an extra one for you today...

I've got more to share so watch for extras the next couple of days. Now, I'm going to sleep. Enjoy your day!

It's all about food!

I guess I went to bed still craving something sweet since the blueberry muffins were a little less than spectacular. LOL! I dreamed I was at some kind of meeting and there were donuts. I was waiting in line to get one of the donuts and just as I was about get one the alarm went off and woke me up. I hit the snooze button so that I could go back to sleep and get the stupid donut----5 times! LOL! I wish I were joking, but I'm not. I don't know why I didn't just get up then stop for a real donut on my way to work cause the going back to sleep thing didn't work. I didn't fall back into the same dream. Story of my life....LOL!

On a brighter note, We've finally decided where Friday's lunch is coming from---Pasha's. I'm ordering the Filet Mignon Shish Kebab. It's no donut, but it will do. LOL!

Go by Shel Belle Scraps and pick up her cute Memorial Day Mini Kit. I haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but I've got a preview for you to see...



It's bedtime for me. Enjoy your day!

Another Cooking Experience

Apparently I slept through some serious rain last night! The lower lobby of my building was flooded this morning and I got my new flip flops wet. BUMMER! There was even standing water in the parking garage. Glad I slept through the storms!

Tonight I was craving something and I just couldn't figure out what I wanted so I started searching through the cabinets. I found a packet of blueberry muffin mix that had been part of a Christmas basket I received. It was the kind that you only have to add water to and I thought that maybe I could handle that. LOL! Well, I mixed the powder and water and went to turn on the oven. It only took me a moment to figure out that I had turned on the stove instead of the oven. No kidding!

Then I went digging through the unused pots and pans for the muffin pan only to remember that I had taken it to school years ago to be used in one of the centers. The little muffin sections make it perfect for the kids to use when sorting things. LOL!

So, I found a bundtlette pan that must have been a present from my mother so many years ago that I can't even remember getting it. It's used to make mini bundt cakes and I've never made one of those so it was still sitting unopened and unused in the box.

I poured the mix into the bundtlette pan, popped it into the oven and set the oven timer. Well, they looked cute when I took them out of the oven. They weren't cooked in the middle but the top and bottom parts didn't taste too bad. LOL! Next time, I think I'll just stick with the cookies!

I have one more layout using Flowerscraps The Old Swing Kit to show you. If you haven't gone by her blog to pick it up make sure you get it soon!



My buddy April has returned from vacation and posted an adorable QP freebie on her blog for you. Here's a preview for you to see...



She used her Dainty Dandelions Kit to make the QP. I played with it tonight to and this is what I came up with...



You can have my layout as a QP too. So go here to pick up April's QP and go here to pick up mine.

I'm tired and going to bed now. Enjoy your day!

Earlier tonight I decided to get comfortable on the bed and do some things while I watched TV. That way if I fell asleep I would already be in bed. Well, the phone rang and I wasn't close enough to the nightstand to just pick it up so I rolled over to get it. However, I kept rolling and rolled off the bed and onto the floor. I didn't get get hurt or anything but it took me a minute or two to get back up because I was laughing at myself. I never did answer the phone. LOL!

It looks like we're going to have a rainy week. YUCK! Hurricane season doesn't even start until June 1st and they're already watching a system. I just love how the local channels always make it seem much worse than it is. But....maybe we can get out for the summer even earlier....LOL!

Here's another layout I made using Flowerscraps The Old Swing Kit. I played with the transparency on three of the background papers to put this together.



OK,I'm off to bed now. Enjoy your day!

The last full week of school!

Well, another day has gone by and once again I wasted most of it. LOL! My mind is already on summer vacation!

Earlier today my computer picked up one of those nasty spyware viruses that cause pop-ups. It took an hour and a half, but I got it off. Thank goodness! So, I guess I didn't waste the whole day---I saved my computer. Just call me Wonder Woman. LOL!

This is the last full week of school. Next week there are only 4 school days and the week after that has 2 full days and 2 half days. I am so looking forward to having the time off to relax and regroup.

The big decision for this week is where to get lunch on Friday. LOL! We've already decided that next weeks lunch will come from the Cheese Cake Factory! We are saving the best for last and yes, I will be ordering dessert that day!

Today you have the chance to get the first part of the cutest kit ever from Deanna at Flowerscraps! Just look at this preview...



It's perfect for outdoor and/or playground photos. Here's a layout I made using the kit...



That's some of the kids in my class trying to cool off in the shade on the playground.

OK, it's time for me to go to bed. Enjoy your day.

I am so bad!

I won't even tell you how late in the day it was before I finally got dressed. Let's just say, it was after lunch and before dinner. LOL!

I should be telling you how I was busy completing things on my "to do" list, but I can't because I wasn't. Most of the day was wasted and I enjoyed every second of it! I'll be sorry tomorrow, but today I have no regrets. LOL!

Now, I'm off to bed because a day of doing nothing so exhausting. Enjoy your day!

I was kidnapped!

I've had so much to do lately that I haven't been any fun. Tonight my friends decided to force me to go out to dinner. I just wanted to stay home and go to sleep early, but they had me at "We're paying". LOL! Thank goodness I have such wonderful friends!

Now, I am going to sleep and I plan on sleeping as late as I can. Enjoy your day!
