Wishing Fence

Download word art here:  https://app.box.com/s/iqh4q0sq32dbl7gjo1qs

I read a blog post awhile back about a lady who had turned one of the trees in her yard into a wishing tree.  She talked about how everyone loved the tree and I fell in love with it too.

I knew right away I wanted to do something similar at school.  For the safety of everyone involved we decided to go with a wishing fence.  Today, my class placed the first wishes on the fence.

There are typical kid wishes, wishes that you agree with, wishes that make you proud and wishes that break your heart....

I wish my parents loved me

I wish I had  Ms. Brown had a lot of money

I wish everyone's wish could come true

I wish we didn't have to go to school

I wish I had an Xbox

I wish that my family always stays happy

There are extra tags outside for others to write down their wishes. So, if you're in the area, drop by and add your wish to our wishing fence.

I'm wishing for our wishing fence to be a big success.

Hopefully, I'll have more wishes to share with you.

Bucket List

I know you've probably seen this list before, it's been floating around Facebook for awhile.  I love it!  How much fun would it be to actually do some of these things?

I am all about wearing the life t-shirt and handing out lemons!  Of course, it would also be fun to be Dracula....excuse me, I mean...Dr. acula.  Lol!

Which one would you like to do?

Who's stealing my weekend?

I spent most of Saturday doing something I didn't want to do in a place I didn't want to be.  I felt bad about it because everyone was so great and told me how glad they were I was there.

 Seriously, why do people have to be so nice when all you want to do is be miserable?  Then you feel really bad about being unhappy and miserable which makes you even more unhappy and miserable.

I put on a fake smile and struggled through cause there was no reason to make everyone else as unhappy and miserable as I was.  It was still a really long day and because of a commitment I've made there are going to be more days just like this one.

Today I woke up a little after 9, left to run errands a little 12, got home again a little after 2 and then the next thing I knew it was 8 pm.

That means I either spent 6 hours lying around, watching TV, eating junk food and playing on the
computer or aliens took possession of my body causing me to lose 6 hours.

I'm kind of hoping there were aliens!

If you're like me, you're inside hiding from the cold weather.  It was 47 here this morning!  At this point, I know some of you think that 47 would feel like a heat wave, but this is Miami and I'm a wimp.  So, I'm inside wrapped up under a blanket watching TV.  I've got a margarita and some chips, so I think I'll survive. Lol!

Shel Belle Scraps has released a fun, beautiful kit for everyone who had been stuck inside for so long they've got a case of Cabin Fever.  Check it out...

Cabin Fever has 23 papers, 49 elements and an alpha.  There's also a set of matching sweater papers...

Here are a couple of layouts I made using Cabin Fever...

Sugared Lemons

One of my students gave me a sugared lemons candle from Bath & Body Works.

BEST CANDLE EVER!!!

I burned it for a little while last night after I got my crazy fire alarm sorted out.

Seriously, who else does that?  You know, come home to a fire alarm that thinks it is supposed to beep every two minutes and think, "Hey, maybe I'll light that new candle I got!"  Lol!

Anyway, the candle was great.  Not too strong or too sweet, but the best part about it is that I could still smell it when I got home from work today.  It smelled like someone had been in my house baking cookies.  Really good cookies!

Seriously, I could bring in someone who doesn't know me and convince them that I had been baking....from scratch!

Anyone who knows me would be looking for the cookie scented air freshener, but a total stranger would be completely fooled!

BEST CANDLE EVER!!!
