Five for Friday!

Hi everyone, it's been such a long time since I have linked up for Five for Friday!

 My friend Wendy found tiny solo cups at the 99 cent store and sent me pictures and I just had to share these with you.  Look at how tiny they are!!  I've used the big solo cups for my students to build a 100th day tower, but I think switching to these small ones would be awesome too.

The weather has been really nice in Vegas, so we have been going to the Red Rock Canyon just about every single week. It's been really fun going on different trails each time.

Little did I know that the 'La Madre Spring Trail' was all uphill...I had to take a lot of little breaks but when we finally got up there I had to spell out our name to take a picture to remind me to never come back to this trail again, JK.  It was worth it and I will definitely go on this trail again.:)

Last week we went hiking on the Calico Tanks trail and it was a bit more complicated for me...I'm pretty much afraid of heights, but my husband encouraged me to try and finish it.  All I can remember is him telling me 'be the rock,' as I climbed and tried really hard not to look down.  Seriously, the things my husband tells me, lol.  Anyhoo, I'm so glad that he did push me to continue because at the end of the trail we saw nothing but water!  It looked amazing!!  I'm hoping that we can continue doing this every week.:)

I found this huge panda at Hallmark.  When I saw it, it reminded me of the Valentine craft that I made.  So cute, I really wanted it but I had to get back to reality...where would I put it.  It's huge!:)

You might think, why is she posting a picture of her planting some seeds...well I've been inspired to try to grow a little garden.  I bought a basil plant about a month ago and it's still alive!  If you know me, plants do not seem to last.  But for some reason my basil plant has lasted this long and I really want to grow cilantro!  So I'm going to try out this Salsa Garden kit that I found at Target and I hope that the seeds grow.  Wish me luck!

I've been working on a St. Patrick's Day hat template and so far they have turned out looking pretty cute!  I'm so happy that they are done and ready for March.  

I have created not only one, but seven different templates.  What can I say I like to have different options for the kids to pick.  I have posted it to my TpT store.

I don't know about you but I just love it when March comes around and the kids gets to make leprechaun traps.  For a whole week my students setup their traps in our classroom to try to catch him.  Every single day the leprechaun would leave us different surprises and one of them would be lucky pennies.  They get so excited when he leaves tiny notes and treats.  So to end this blog post, I am sharing these with you.  Click on the picture to download the file.

Happy Friday!:)

Rainy Day Duckling Craft

Hi Everyone!  So I'm here to share one of the crafts that I have been working on.  Right after I finished making the Valentine crafts, I couldn't help but want to make some more.  I don't know why but I jumped right into thinking of all the crafts I could make for Spring. 

Two crafts came in mind but today I am sharing one of them.  I've been working on a cute duckling and this is what I made.  

Here's are before and after pictures.  As you can see the left one is a pic of a text...of course I had to ask a friend or two about what they thought about the pattern and I quickly sent them a text for some feedback. Can you see my dog up in the corner of the text.;)

I changed a few things here and there until I used my colored card stock.  The boots definitely changed from having a little heel to no heel, lol. 

Then I thought 'Yeay, I'm almost done' and I saw my polka dotted scrapbook paper and it shouted, 'Use me for the rain boots!'  

Then there came the title...wasn't sure what I wanted to call it exactly, I went from 'April Showers Duckling' to 'Spring Showers Duckling' and then finally I called it 'Rainy Day Duckling Craft.'  The endless possibilities of the titles that can be used.

This craft is now available at my TpT store.
