Hello All! Popping in to let you know that I am taking part in a blog challenge. For the month of April I will be posting everyday except on Sundays. My theme will be Educational related. Imagine that. :) I will cover a variety of topics relating to the field of Special Education plus I'll throw in some songs, art and books. My goal is that my readers will learn something that they didn't know and pick up ideas that can be passed on to those they know that might be able to use them. I promise that we will have fun!!! First post will be on April 1st--stay tuned. ~Keep on Dreaming~
Good Evening my friends! I hope everyone has had a nice Good Friday.
I can't believe that Easter week- end has arrived! It just doesn't seem time for it. I am not big on Easter in March. When it is in April there is a bit longer to plan for the big day. What about you?
Mr. Ken and I would like to wish everyone a blessed Easter. May it be filled with the blessings of the the day and filled with family, friends, food, fun and fellowship. ~Keep on Dreaming~
So, while I have been on Spring Break I got a bit crafty. I wanted some St. Patty's plates but could not find any so I made my own from plates from the Dollar Tree.
I just used a Sharpie to write each saying on the plate. I added gold dots in the shamrock for some bling.
For this plate, I found an Irish saying. I was very pleased with these.
Found this cute garland at JoAnn's. Thought I could just hang it up but noooo, I had to string the darn thing first. Pretty cute huh?
So, if you remember my yarn heart from Valentine's, this will look familiar. I cut out my version of an egg (it got squished) bought some variegated yarn in spring colors and started wrapping it around my cutout. I added some eggs for bling and a ribbon then hung it on the front door. Cutting out eggs from card- board is not easy. ~~~~ Here is the Misc. I am so happy with it. For those who did not see this on Facebook, one of the gals that I work with is beginning to down size her home and she was giving away several pieces of furniture. Yes, I said giving away. I am the happy recipient of this little beauty.
Above is a daytime shot. On top I have a poured sand sculpture from Arizona and a statue from New Mexico. The other item is a flower ball that my Mom gave me years ago.I am not really sure what it is made from though.
This is a nighttime shot, love the light on the inside. On the top shelf I have two tea sets from my Mom and one from a friend plus a teacup. I collected them along time ago but have since stopped. The second shelf has two figurines from when Mr. Ken and I got married, a quartz rock from a vacation and my "Welcome" house blocks. The "floor" of the cabinet holds a picture of Mr. Ken's parents, one of us and one of my Mom. So happy to have this fun addition to our living room and to think I got it for FREE!! ~Keep on Dreaming~
Happy St. Patrick's Day! (a wee bit early) Wear green--so you don't get pinched. Watch a parade. Dance a jig Enjoy the day!! And of course, cannot leave without some St. Pat's humor... 1. What do you get when you cross poison ivy with a four leaf clover? 2. What do you get when you do the Irish jig at McDonald's? 3. What is Irish and stays out all night? 4. How did the Irish jig get started? 5. Are people jealous of the Irish? Answers... 1. A rash of good luck. 2. A Shamrock shake. 3. Paddy O'furniture. 4. Too much drink and not enough restrooms! 5. Sure, they're green with envy! ~Keep on Dreaming~
Hello Everyone! Spring Break is here and over the weekend we went to one of our favorite stores for garden goodies. Potato seedlings and onion sets. Plus some dried spices. This store has everything a gardener would want and then some.
Down the street from Planters Seed is as the picture shows--- City Market, in the summer this is a rock'n place. Lots of vendors with fresh veggies and fruits.
Back at Planters Seed, customers can get a start on their flower gardens too.
Some of the Spring fun in their windows.
Bessie is ready for the Easter parade with her bunny ears on her head.
And that guy is Dr. Seuss! A favorite from my childhood and today. All sorts of celebrating went on today is schools and libraries and many are learning who this fabulous man was and what he did for the world of reading.
I could not have said it better myself.
Did you enjoy these books as a child? have you read them to your grandchildren, nieces and nephews? Which ones did you enjoy?? Some of mine are: Hop on Pop Greens Eggs and Ham One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Such fun memories from childhood. ~Keep on Dreaming~
