It's been a while

Today was a great day! Friday at last.  it seemed like a long week for me at work, there are several students who are quite a handful.  But yesterday it only took one of them to remind me of the challenging year we have.  Yesterday was the longest day of the week.  This one student was all over the place bothering, hitting, just all over the place in a blink of an eye.
I also found out that our special student has been evaluated and will be transferred to another school, it makes me really happy for her to have the opportunity to be placed in a more adequate class room setting and a teacher who has the experience working with students like her.  It saddens me because she is kind of attached to me and me too her, so I am going to miss her.  From last year to the present she has improved so much and I am so happy for that.  Thanks to her she has made me realize I want to work with students with special needs, it is so rewarding.  And I know not all students are going to have the same need, there will be more challenging ones, but it is with great patience, understanding, and taking a day at a time how it will make it all work.
Have a beautiful weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey everyone!  I'm on vacation and enjoying my free first day!  My daughters are at school and I get to stay here at home and clean all by my self yeah!  Ok I know what your saying but I had a long weekend with my daughters being a handful.  So it is nice to have a few hours of silence and relaxation once in a while, even if I am cleaning.  So I don't really have to cook a big meal for Thanksgiving only a ham, since we are going over to my father in-law's house.  Check back this week I will be posting my new scarfs I made last week.  I am currently working on a blanket and some curtains so I will be busy during the week but I will load the pictures soon.  Have a great day!

Hello Everyone!

Do you know what a swap means and I am not talking like a wife swap.  A card, recipe, scrap page, idea, treat, or anything you know how to do you trade it in for some thing else.  For example if you have a recipe you want to share you make it in a nice decorative recipe size card.  If there are ten people who want to do the same then you make ten of the same recipe card and send it to me or who ever is in charge of that swap.  That person will make sure you get ten different recipes back.  I though since the holidays are just around the corner maybe some of you would like to do this.  So here is my Pink Idea: Christmas cards, Halloween scrap page, holiday favorite recipe, Halloween treat or Christmas treat,any Crafty Idea.  Let me know and we'll get started!  Have a wonderful day tomorrow Tuesday! Check this site they have pretty cool Ideas! @ www.splitcoaststampers.com
By the way if you would like to buy some Mexican leather shoes check out this site or ask me to see a catalog.
www.andrea.com  The prices are reasonable and it's a good product.

This is what I made Yesterday!

I knitted a headband with a flower, it was very easy and it is beautiful!
http://s835.photobucket.com/albums/zz278/flowerqeen1/Knit%20and%20Crochet/?albumview=slideshow

What A Day!

Hey everyone, Hello!  Today was my daughters first day of school and they came home so excited and so happy with their teachers and to be back at school.  I am so happy for them!  Well hopefully everyone had a great time this long holiday weekend.  Enjoy your day tomorrow!

First Day at Work

Today was the first official day of work with the children.  The morning went by quick.  We got a few criers, but it is normal.  What we didn't expect was a handful little girl, she was everywhere around the classroom.  So we'll see what happens tomorrow.  Besides work, today was great, I am not exhausted at all I'm just ready for tomorrow.  I am glad to be back to work, I hope we have a great school year!  So don't forget to click on the picture below it will take you to my album of diaper cakes!

How to make recycled crayons!

Today is my last vacation day so I realized I had these old crayons in the garage I brought from school, the teachers usually throw them away.  So I said why not recycle them.  I had forgotten all about them until I saw the bag while I was going through my stuff..  And so here are the results and easy steps.  It is a very simple thing to do just spare some time and do it.  If you have your kids help you it's wonderful because peeling the paper off is the most time consuming.  But other than that they are fast to make.  Have fun and don't forget to post your stuff too!  If you do get to do this make sure you let me know how they turned out.  Have a great day!  

 
1.First you peel off the paper from the old broken crayons.

2. Then you break them into one inch pieces.

 

3. Insert them in a cupcake container make sure you put some veggie oil or oil cooking spray.  If you use silicone cupcake containers will work best the crayons are easier to come out. 

4. Next put them in the oven at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.  Wait for them to cool down.

 5. Color your day away!

How to Make Salsa Fresca with Mango!

Ingridients

3 Jalapeno peppers
1 Small onion
Cilantro
1 Mango   
1Tomato (medium size)
Half a lemon
 
You start by cutting all the ingredients into tiny little squares.  The jalapenos is best if you take out the seeds and white veins, just be careful not to get it on your eyes or skin.  After you cut all the ingredients into tiny squares, you combined them all together in a bowl add the lemon juice, salt, and if you want to add some pepper.  This salsa can be enjoyed with tortilla chips.  You can serve it at any type of gathering.  It is best to make during the summer time because of the availability of the Mango, but you can always alternate the fruit instead of Mango you can substitute it with Apples.  Hope you enjoy!  Please post your salsa making results!  Prep time: 15 minutes

If by any chance you do get spicy on your hands make sure to rub some butter on the area and wait a couple of minutes and then wash it off.  The butter tends to ease the burning of the Chile on the skin.  
If that doesn't work run you hands through your hair, or affected area with your hair.  The natural oils of your hair cools and takes down the burning on your skin.

Today at Training

Today was a long morning at work since it was training day and the speaker was a bit boring.  One of our  Supervisors who monitor the training was great, she is always so cheerful and happy to be around us.  On the other hand what made it fun was to see all of my coworkers, we were able to exchange our summer vacation details and experiences.  I am waiting for my pictures to be downloaded so I can post them.  Well that's all for today I am trying to finish a scarf I am working on so see you all!

Last Summer Vacation Tuesday

Today I tried to do as much as I could before I go back to work next week.  Tomorrow there is a training at my job an all day thing.  So I will try to have fun there!  I can't complain this Summer I really enjoyed spending time with my daughters, cleaning, and crafting.  We were home most of the time but enjoyed it!  I was able to look at all of my crafting supplies and boy do I have alot of stuff.  There's many scrapbook pages I have collected through the years I will be posting them as soon as I get batteries on my camera.  I was also able to enhance my crochet skills and made several scarfs.  Well I got to go, I will let you know how it went at training tomorrow.
