In honor of school starting soon and my new position as an elementary school Librarian I created an ArtFire Collection this week. I am proud to say that it was featured in the ArtFire Daily Email Collection. I hope you enjoy!

Back to School...
School is in Session!
I can't believe that it has been "eight" months since I last wrote on my blog. Shame on me! The last time I visited here, I was just returning back to teaching after a year and a half. Where did that school year go?!?
Last year was a blur to say the least!
Finished the school year as a Read Intervention teacher which was one of the most awesome experiences I have ever had. Working with children from 1st grade - 6th grade who were a year or more behind their reading grade level was both rewarding and fun. The children I worked with came from all walks of life, but unfortunately most of them live in very poor conditions. But oh how they appreciated every day eager to learn. My days were filled with hugs after hugs.
I am returning this school year to a new position as an elementary school Librarian & new school within the same school district. I am so excited about the new school year and new challenges.
During the time I have been gone from my blog, I have managed to keep up with my Etsy shop. If you haven't visited for awhile, you will be pleasantly surprised. Lots and lots of colorful & fun snap hair clips have been added.
Cross my heart, I promise not to neglect my blog again! I have missed blogging and all of you.
Until then... take care and have an awesome remainder to the summer!

School Days, Wonderful School Days...
What will I miss now that I am returning to work? First and foremost not spending endless hours creating new goodies, attending to my two online shops throughout the day and checking my email several times a day (OK, maybe I won't miss that so much). But, I am super excited to be returning to teaching.
It's been a long year and a half looking for a teaching position. Because of cutbacks in the school districts, I sadly became unemployed. After hundreds of applications/resumes, I am blessed to have a gotten an awesome position. I have seriously missed being surrounded throughout the day with kids. Their jokes, their unbelievable sense of humor, their innocence. Having lunch with a table of Kinder kids is incredible! Or sitting with 6th graders who just want to talk.
Do you all remember the dance "Soldier Boy" from a couple of years ago? Well, let me tell you, Ms Vess learned that dance, oh yes I did! Now mind you, I am no youngster, so it was a challenge! *smile* At the time I was a Librarian at K-8th grade school. So, every afternoon four awesome 8th grade boys came into the Library and taught me the dance, insisting that Ms Vess would learn.
I attended all 7th/8th grade school dances as a chaperon. And guess who was drug out onto the dance floor to show off her greatness doing the "soldier boy"? Yuppers, the one and only Ms Vess. HA!
My new position will be as a reading interventionist. It is a Kinder-6th grade school. I am excited to be working with students having a difficult time reading. Reading is so important! It opens an endless world of possibilities. If you can read, anything is possible!
I will continue my Blog, I would miss all of you too much and I have to admit, I would miss my Blog. It has become an old friend. :)
I want to wish all of you the happiest and safest upcoming Holiday season!
