Fall Ideas and Treats!

Since Fall is approaching quickly, I wanted to share my Fall/Halloween line of Jumbo Rainbow Crayons in my shop for your viewing and shopping pleasure. There are sooo many people having Fall weddings, eco-friendly weddings, Halloween parties... you name it! These crayons make perfect favors or treats to hand out!

This year, I will be handing out my Mini Rainbow crayons instead of candy. It is more healthy and kids will get longer use out of them! I always do custom listings and Party Packs, but I will also be listing a Trick-or-Treat pack at a lower price to encourage people to shop handmade and be healthy! Do not get me wrong..... I LOVE candy. It is just something fun and different.

FALL JUMBO STYLES:

-Leaves

-Pumpkins

-Jack-O-Lanterns

-Ghosts

MINI STYLES:

-Mini Pumpkins

I am having two special offers for blog readers...

Kate Fitzpatrick - Life. Magic. Beauty. Love

Today I am sharing an AMAZING artist with you. I am so happy she has returned to Etsy.

Kate Fitzpatrick creates some of the most colorful and magical artwork I have ever seen. She is able to tell entire stories just by looking at one of her artworks. She has a very special collection of Artist Trading Cards available in her shop currently.

In the past, she has sold prints, paintings, jewelry, and cards. I cannot wait to see what else this shop and artist will bring to the handmade world! Please take some time to enjoy her shop and mark as a favorite if you love her or her work!

A Very Catchy Song

WOW! I love this song that I saw on another art teacher's Facebook and blog. I decided to purchase it to add to my Art Mix CD to play for my students. Check this video out!

Back to School and a Fresh Start!

After a short blogging break, I am back and feeling great!

Today marks Day#2 at my new school and I am having a blast! I spent all June cleaning out shelves and cabinets, organizing supplies, and setting up my room. This made for an easy start this past week for me. I think I have this back to school thing down to a science because I have had several classrooms to clean out and organize over the past years...

Here are some photos of what my room looked like to start...

By the end of the week, I will post what the room looks like now! I am happy with the "final" product and excited for a great school year!

Are your kids back to school? My husband is a teacher as well, but he started at the END OF JULY!!!!!! That is nuts! Many states do not go back to school until after Labor Day, but at least I will get out in May.
