Happy Memorial Day to all my friends in the USA, especially those with family members who are deceased military. Huge thanks to all they gave and all you gave as family of those who served. We salute all of you.
Thankful to be arriving in Istanbul today. I will get there at 5:30pm Istanbul time.
Happy Saturday. Time to work on packing and making a final check list. I am also going through some travel websites and looking at tours or classes that would be fun to take while in Istanbul. Any recommendations? things that have caught my eye on this trip--making Turkish Delights, jewelry workshop, cooking.

Happy Thursday, just 6 more days of school for me. 6 Geese a laying--lol I'll take GOLD eggs or chocolate eggs. Mind you I said Chocolate, not chocolate looking. (are y'all sick of the 12 days of Christmas theme yet?) I sure am going to miss these kids. I will have to take some extra photos to upload into the classroom cloud for everyone to see. I wish I could share them here, but it's strictly forbidden. I love the hot air balloon here; it makes me think of Cappadocia.
The store will close in just about a week, so please put in those last minute orders. Then I will reopen in August will lots of new wonderful laces :) check out the store here, https://laceplacebyholley.etsy.com
It's time for another Foodie Friday for the kiddos. I wonder what goodie we will have for this today. How about some oranges? Well, now that I think about it we may still be having parent conferences so perhaps no kiddos today. Awe, actually gonna miss them. This makes day 4, 4 calling doves, no please, how about 4 of my favorite fruit.
The store will close soon, just two weeks, so please put in those last minute orders. Then I will reopen in August will lots of new wonderful laces :) check out the store here, https://laceplacebyholley.etsy.com

Happy Wednesday. I am excited to go and see the kiddos today. I'm continuing on with my Spring themed cards, I love this one from American Crafts, Lets BLOOM this spring and all be happy. I have to say I got two amaryllis plants this christmas from my kiddos at school and they were such a delight to watch bloom.
Hello all! First day of the week that I will be in school. Hope the kids missed me since it has been 11 days since they have seen me, I look forward to seeing them, even in just 11 days sometimes you can see them GROW. It's amazing.
Special thanks to Suzanne h, Sue T, Audrey, Gaye and Becca Y for some lovely cards. I will plan on sharing them later s guest designer projects.

All you need is LOVE. I totally remember last year while working with the 1-year-olds that I would be sitting with them during naptime and the teacher would always play the Beatles in Muzak form (so piano or just wordless). I listened to the same set of music, everyday for months. Lucky that I can enjoy it. I listened to it A LOT.
Question of the day: What colors do you not like?
Happy Friday the 13th! Ooo, that sounds ominous. Do other countries have an evil type connotation associated with Friday the 13th? is that just in the USA? I have no idea where that idea came from or if it just developed due to the movies. Hmmm, inquiring minds.

Question of the day: what embellishment do you NOT ever use?
Good Morning and Happy Tuesday. I hope your week is off to a good start. I am sharing this LOVE theme card today from American Crafts. I love the bold colors on it. Let's just say, I {heart} you times three. Off to work today to see my kiddos, only 8 today compared to 12 tomorrow. Should be a little quieter, lol. Just kidding 8 kids (3years old) make a lot of noise.

Question of the day: do you have a die cut machine? can you use thin dies and thick dies?
As the Celebration Month approaches, I just wanted all of you to know that I really appreciate you. Back when it was surgery time, all the people in the blog world and the crafting world were such an enormous support and uplifting help. Now every year since surgery I give back to all my crafting friends.
Thank you all so very much
