Insta-Friday

December 28, 2012 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

Now that I have my new iPhone I’ve been all over Instagram! So today I’m linking up with Jeanette at Life Rearranged for
life rearranged

My vacation week so far…Christmas decorations are already packed up! 
I think it’s safe to say I have a mild obsession with shiny, sparkly, silver things…
My favorite new ornament (what teacher wouldn’t love this?)

For some reason, I keep getting free copies of ESPN magazine mailed to me…confusing because I’m really more of a Better Homes and Gardens/Glamour magazine kinda gal…
I think I’ll read them to expand my horizons!

 Vacation project/New Year’s resolution= Get organized!

As I was organizing, found this gem stashed in a drawer…
School pic 2012!

 We got lots of snow here in Maine yesterday…welcome Winter!

    Hello! I just found your blog and thought I'd comment on this post… love the whole blog! I'm a middle school teacher who used to be a para at the high school. One of my best friends is a social studies teacher, I'm the art teacher. I love arts and crafts too. Your blog is adorable and I wish mine was better looking like yours. I don't know how you have so much time! 🙂 Off to check out more of your blog… I came over for your home office, which is great, so I need to check out the rest of your house.

Absolutely gorgeous afternoon making memories with Absolutely gorgeous afternoon making memories with my sweet girl! We picked the best berries, then went home where my little sous chef practiced her fine motor skills by cutting the strawberries for homemade shortcake- my all time favorite dessert (and quickly becoming C’s favorite, too)! 🍓 

The last couple of months have been super challenging regarding some unexpected health challenges for me, resulting in an emergency surgery 4.5 weeks ago, and getting back to feeling good enough to go on outings like today was at the top of my priority-list! I felt good and had a wonderful time with my best little bud!! 🥰

Also shout out to @browdersfreshpickins for allowing us to pick all along the outside rows so that C could easily use her walker in the field!
Happy Easter from our (reluctant) Bunny Stanley 🐶 and our happy little Reese’s-loving gal!! 🥰
It’s always such a wonderful start to the weeken It’s always such a wonderful start to the weekend when a visit to @cafe_davina is on the agenda!! If you haven’t been, this adorable coffee house and crêperie is located within the beautiful grounds of the @thepinnerhouse, a boutique inn with cozy rooms and cottages! Both are a must visit in downtown Suffolk, VA!
Some adorable Valentine’s Day printable cards an Some adorable Valentine’s Day printable cards and decor from my @littlecpaperie Etsy shop! Head to my profile @craftyteacherlady OR @littlecpaperie for a link to download any of these cute items and spread some love! 🥰💗🥰💗🥰💗
I added some sweetness to C’s room for Valentine I added some sweetness to C’s room for Valentine’s Day! 💗 Even the little holidays are so much more fun with a little one here to celebrate! 

💗 This heart garland is easy to make using the printable I created for my Etsy shop @littlecpaperie…just print on card-stock, cut out the hearts, punch some holes, and thread onto some cute string! Make as many garlands as you wish, in any length! 🥰 Now go spread some love! 💗💗💗
And just like that, she’s 4!! ❤️🥰🍓❤️🥰❤️

We had a small family party while in Maine and I had so much fun putting together all the details! My favorite part of the decor was making the cake toppers to put onto a plain white bakery cake (I also added some fresh strawberries). I printed some strawberries and flowers on card stock and glued them to wood skewers. I made the pennant flags and bunting out of fabric from Joannes and used the same gingham for the table runners. It brings me so much joy to put together a little birthday party for my sweet little girl! Watching her grow and seeing her personality blossom is the greatest privilege of my life…she’s the best thing to ever happen to me! 

And on that note, Happy Birthday, C, and Happy New Year to all of you!
