What I have been up to & SOME FREEBIES

I think my left eye is beginning to boycott!! hehehe Look at those dark circles...!! My goal for this upcoming week: Get some rest & GO TO BED by midnight. I think it is a reasonable goal, but my brain often takes the lead and everything else is forced to follow suite. I hope my brain is processing the dark circles in this picture...LOL! Onto FUN NEWS!! Look what I got in the mail this week!!!! Thank you Hadar!!!

You can order a sign from Hadar at her cute Etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ILoveTeaching

I was so excited that I hung them up right behind my desk on the wall (next to my glass dry-erase board)! I am really good at knowing how to pose for pictures (hahaha) and I think the picture on the right adequately  represents 3AM.....LOL!! I wanted to take a picture of myself  with the cute sign Hadar made, and in doing so, I suddenly realized that I am beginning to LOOK like The 3AM Teacher!!! Holy cow! I look so old and the dark circles under my eyes are definitely proof that I need to sleep a bit more - I could also use a tan...LOL... Whenever I have a difficult choice to make, I create a pros and cons list.  Here is my Pros and Cons List of a very tough decision that I have to make before it's too late... Aging                                                  Not Aging Forgetful                                                    Hmm? Can't really think of anything yet Wrinkles Getting called, Ma'm Age spots  & "EVERY new spot must be cancer" thinking Well, I know this is not a thorough list; however, based on the information I have come up with, I believe that I can make a sound decision. I have chosen not to age! I really think it will be the best decision for my life. I just need to add enough supporting details so that I can present my case to God. I think I have a VERY good argument.....I will let you all know what He says...

Well, I did not get these dark circles sun tanning and hanging out at the fitness center.... Here is what I have been working on...

I created a set of Multicultural hands after receiving a request from Deanna Jump & these are selling like Hot Cakes. I also need to thank her for purchasing my new Trace Me A-Z letter set and then blogging about her purchase!! She is so sweet!!  Plus also (in my best Junie B. voice), I am now determined to have black desks when (if) I go back to the classroom! Her hubby painted the black desks in the pictures she posted to show off her cute classroom & they look Fabulous!! Well, not sure if you read my blog Deanna, but in case you do, THANK YOU and I am sending you a GIANT Cyber-Hug!! Hehehehe!! 

I can't even begin to tell all of you how many great people I have met and connected with through blogging!! I have such a huge family of friends now and I feel very blessed! I have learned so much from all of you & this bloggy business has had it perks....While on this topic,

I have a VERY FUNNY story to tell you!!

Actually, maybe not so funny - just a bit exciting and unexpected!! I was dropping off my son last week and I always park next to the park by the school and while I was parked a woman came up to me (she had parked behind me) and excitedly said,

 "Oh MY GOSH! Are you The 3AM Teacher that does clip art? I follow and LOVE your blog!!"

I was totally embarrassed, yet excited because I felt like I had my 10 seconds of fame...hehehehe!! I was just glad I had showered that day..LOL. I think she saw my license plate on my car - How funny!!

Here are some of my new sets that I have been working on (-;

I also finished the first part of my Ancient Greece series!!!! I have about 10 more characters and several accents to complete for the 2nd part to the set. I really like how they turned out, but I did need to price this set higher. I have them marked down right now from $12.50 to $8.60. I was going to have them marked down for 24 hours, but I have kept the discount up for a little while longer.

$12.50 is such a high amount to swallow, but there is so much detail in these images & they took me so long, that I just can't force myself to put a lower price on these. I know that there are many people who pay thousands for custom designs and graphics, but I do want to have sales...LOL! What do you think about the price? I would love to get your feedback. Keep in mind that each character took me anywhere from 6-18 hours to complete. At $12.50, each graphic image is .50 cents. I really would like some feedback. I actually decided to break up the characters and sell them in single sets for those that may just need one or two characters. I only have Pandora up as a single set right now, but here are some screenshots of the graphics that are included in the complete set.

I am really excited to start seeing these used & to see what everyone comes up with!!

Here are a couple more sets that I have recently added:

I have more styles for the Palettes finished, but I have not made them available yet (-; Please feel free to Pin these as many times as you would like (-;

Well, now you can see why I have dark circles under my eyes...hehehe!! This is all I will share with you for now. I know I had so many things that I wanted to share with you, but my mind is pulling up blanks!! I am going to have a guest post on the 30th of this month by an author of a REALLY great book, but I am going to post about that tomorrow. I will need 3-5 questions to ask her for the guest post, so please come back and visit tomorrow to find out who the guest blogger is.

I will not make this post longer than it has to be! To show my appreciation to everyone for all of your support & loveliness, here are some FREEBIES...ENJOY!!

FREEBIES from The 3AM Teacher!!

Be CReAtiVe!!
