The 3AM Teacher is back in the atmosphere!!
Here is a little freebie to set the tone of my post this morning. This is my crow from my Crow with a Bow set.

There is nothing better that waking up happy on a BEAUTIFUL Saturday morning, turning on Pandora and the look on my kids' faces when we tell them that we are cleaning the house today......PRICELESS...hahaha
Actually, I can think of many things that are better..hahaha

Okay, so I kept seeing this summer bucket list linky and I could not resist the temptation to join in the fun! I have so many things that I would love to do, but for your sake, I will only list a few...so here goes...

I am going to be HAPPY all the time...hahaha...and even if I'm not...I'll fake it...you can too if you want - I don't judge (okay maybe sometimes...like the Walmart pics..I like to think of it as psychoanalysis). P.S. I am NOT a fan of Frued & I never thought my "defining moment" of development and self-worth might be due to my realization of NOT having a penis (am I allowed to say penis???Well, there might be an exception since I AM writing and not technically saying it). I ALSO do not think that a man would have anxiety if he found out that I didn't have one...I think there would be anxiety if they found out that I did!..Oh my.....this is not the direction I was going for at all! Here is a FREEBIE to change the topic...hehehe

Meet The VOWEL-ETTES!

WINNER, OH Boy, a sale, Many thanks & free frames

WINNER WINNER WINNER!!!

Just a VERY short post tonight. I have been reading the FB challenge questions on my FB page and they are flipping HILARIOUS!!! I love it. The challenge ends at midnight tonight AZ time...so you still have about an hour (if it is wake time on your end of the world).

I've been working on a few custom graphic orders today, but I had a really bad day! Thank you to those of you who sent some sugar my way. You may not have known how much I needed it! I just feel trapped without a car right now and I am going stir crazy..and to top it off, the hubs is being...well...I will just say he hurt my feelings, which causes my to hide myself even deeper in my office chair )-; Reading blogs, emails & comments is a great way to lift ones spirits I tell you!! I feel like I have a whole other family I can connect with.

I am also trying to think of a great craft for the Pinteresting Linky...I am so excited I signed up in time ..this time around!! I wonder who I will get. I have tons of yarn and tons of sewing/embroidery stuff, but I just can't seem to be able to make a solid decision...maybe tomorrow. I would love to know what everyone else is planning on making...maybe I can get some inspiration!!

Well, before I was about to close things down for the night, I checked my emails and noticed a comment that I couldn't ignore. We all remember what it was like to get your first few followers...I remember when some of you were helping me reach 20 - well, you all are totally awesome!! I want to introduce a newbie blog called First Upon a Time Please visit Mr. (Mike) Jones - he is shooting for 5 followers, but I think we can def. do better than that!! He also has a really cute freebie posted that you might want to check out.

Oh, I forgot to tell you that I actually WON a Giveaway!!! So, for my very FIRST win, I got a really cute POETRY LAPBOOK created by Elizabeth over at Fun in Room 4B!! She is also having a giveaway (I won the pre-giveaway...giveaway...LOL) in a few days so be on the lookout (-;

Also, don't forget that tomorrow is the LAST day to sign up for my giveaway!! Better hurry, this one is a good one (-; You can find the post by clicking HERE.
Well, I think that's all folks...hehehe. Thank you for following!

New Sets, Shout Outs & Some Freebies of Course!

Hold on folks...this may be a long ride....I was on time-out yesterday and I am exploding with news...hehehe

I have FINALLY completed the food and shopping sets..woo hoo!! I was grounded from the office yesterday; including any technology because my hubs was feeling neglected. I had major blog and computer withdrawals. So for those of you who tried to contact me yesterday...sorry...I was put on a TIME-OUT! LOL!!

Click HERE to check out this new set! Ye-Haw!!

Here is a FULL...Yes...I said a FULL Preview of the clip art that is in this collection. If you haven't noticed, I have been making sure to place all of the graphics in the collection within the preview file (I am sure I have a run on sentence...hahaha). I think the cart took me the longest to draw, but the kiddos took the longest to color. I always have the hardest time picking out color combinations & can sometimes spend more time trying to think of colors than I do drawing...LOL! I know...it's the OCD.. (don't tell anyone - it's a secret).

One Last Business Doozy before moving on...I have FINALLY revised the "you know who-inspired" graphics collection as well!! I removed any characters related to the Dr. and I combined all the black&white with the colored graphics into one file (they all fit this time...YEAH!!). My new set is called...

WAIT FOR IT...
It's a Silly World!!

Let the sales begin!!

News!!

Tara over at 4th Grade Frolics (one of my many fav's) is having a really fun lunch linky & Giveaway. She is almost at 1000 followers, so get on over there, follower her and join in on the lunchy fun! I helped her create a grab button for the linky & I got a chance to chat with her quite a bit on Sunday! I have to tell ya...she is quite the awesome-est!

NEXT!!

A couple of days ago I received the sweetest email & I asked if it was alright to share her email and her resource with all of you and she was super excited...She does not have a blog...yet, but I am sure she will succumb to the peer pressure very soon (-;

Michelle,

Thank you so so much for making such amazing graphics for teachers to use! I'm a student teacher finishing up my placement (graduating in May with my M.T. -- hooray!), and have found all of your graphics such an amazing resource for me in making manipulatives, worksheets, anchor charts -- you name it! I was scratching my brain trying to think of a way to help my third graders with elapsed time (in VA, the standard for third grade is to the hour; not to cross over A.M. and P.M.), and it dawned on me that with them having just learned measurement, a ruler-type manipulative would work.

So I made the attached elapsed-time ruler for students. It can either be used with just hourly increments, or two pages can be printed and four strips strung together to make half-hour increments. I'm having my kiddos draw in the hands, the time, and write the time in words (another third grade standard). We'll use it to help us with our elapsed time activities (measuring the elapsed time *just* like with a ruler).

Anyway, I don't have a blog or a TPT store (so I can't post it myself), but I thought you'd get a kick out of it and could either use it or distribute it in the future.

Thanks so so much for all that you do!

- Sarah Plum

Just sooo sweet! Here is a picture she sent me of how she used the elapsed time worksheet in her classroom
