Oh my goodness.  It's almost been a whole month since I've blogged!!!  Geez!!!  Let me tell you where my time went...

1. Finishing my first semester of grad school (9 hours = torture during the last week)
   
2. We went home for 2 and a half weeks for Christmas.  It was WONDERFUL!!!  We got to spend lots of time with family and friends... and I may or may not have gained 10 pounds.
   
3. Finishing a lot of clip art orders... still working on about 5 sets right now.  :)
4. Snuggling with our fur children.  We missed them terribly while we were gone.  Thankfully they're obsessed with the kennel over here.  They have their own suite with an indoor and outdoor area, lots of room to play, and even a roommate (sometimes).  

 I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year, etc.  I hope you haven't been on here in the past week or so.  Something has been going wacko with my site.  I logged on today and it looked like some ugly corporation site.  :(  I think I have it figured out now.  HTML is a foreign language to me, so I really have to focus to figure out the problem.  

I wanted to share two things with you today (besides letting you know I'm still around).  

1.  I met THE Katie King.  Yes, the one from Queen of the First Grade Jungle.  She's a KY girl, I'm a KY girl, and we've become great blog buddies over the past 6 months.  We met up to hang at the Cheesecake Factory and shop afterwards.  She brought along her little diva... who I'm in LOVE with.  We'll call her Mini Queen.  Mini Queen and I quickly became BFF's.  We shared bread, butter (which she loves), and cheesecake together.  She is a hoot!  

Katie and I chatted for about 2 hours over dinner... maybe longer... I lost track of time.  It was so fun getting to meet her in person and she is just as sweet as you would imagine.  It felt like we were old friends.  After dinner, we tried hitting the mall up, but it was New Year's day.  No luck.  Target was our only option, so we headed there to do some damage... and watch Mini Queen wear a pink glitter bucket on her head the entire time.  We had such a great time and I can't wait until we can meet again!  

Today, I also have a freebie for ya... digital papers.  Some of you may have already seen the ones I've posted so far.  I thought I'd make this set a freebie.  I almost called it "70's Rainbow", but I like chocolate more.  Haha.  I'm terrible at coming up with creative names.  

Just click the image below to download for FREE on TPT!  If you download, then I'd LOVE your feedback.  I've made my own papers for a while to use in products and on here, but thought I'd see how they'd do if I made them available.  I hope you love them.  :)

Here are some other versions I've posted in the past week.  Each set is $2.  Click the images below to check them out or purchase.  

I always post my new sets to the Facebook page, but in case you don't follow that, here are the sets I've posted since I've last blogged.  

I've finally come to the conclusion that I'll probably be doing mostly clip art (with a few other projects) between now and August.  I teach 3 different levels of EFL and my classroom materials are so focused (and in British English) that it's not worth spending the extra time to put it on here or TPT.  I'll always try to share things that I think a lot of people could use though.  :)  We'll be moving back to the US this summer and I'll hopefully (fingers crossed) be in a K-5 classroom where I can do (and make) more fun and "share-able" stuff.  Until then, looks like I'll be sticking with mostly clip art... for you to make your fun things with.  It hasn't gotten old yet!  I still LOVE doing it.  

Have a wonderful weekend!
