It's Winter Break!!
Teaching has kept me so busy that I don't feel like I've been able to fully enjoy the Christmas season.
So, I'm doing that now.
One of my students gave me the most creative gift: a mason jar filled with Sharpies and topped with Kisses and a Starbucks card.
Speaking of gifts, I did almost all of my Christmas shopping on Saturday.
Yes...I know I'm behind, but I'm still amazed at how smooth my shopping day was and how I was able to find almost everything I was looking for, considering it was the last Saturday before Christmas!
Hmm...I wonder who this gift is for. ;-)
This year, I made myself a mini flamingo tree.
Have I mentioned how much I love these birds?
It feels good to have a little break and enjoy the season!

Are you ready for Christmas?

That gift is great
Sheri, what a lovely and creative gift from your student! I love gifts like that, as I feel that they come from the heart! :) Your photos are lovely.
Jess, I love your decorations. Especially the big owl. :) I know you will love your break. Blessings to you and your family for a wonderful Christmas week. xoxo,Susie
Jess, that flamingo tree is so cute. And the scarf that you draped around it looks just like a tree skirt. It like the sea shell star too. And a Starbucks gift card, you love those! : )
Jess, your home is looking lovely all dressed for Christmas. What a cute flamingo tree. I have a bird tree in our dining room as I just love birds. Enjoy your break and have a very Merry Christmas! ♥
Dear Jess,

Dear Sheri,
How sweet of you to visit. I am so happy you enjoyed the poem and photo.
Yes, I think of Mom everyday. She was very special, in so many ways.
Thank you so much for your friendship. You have brought joy into my world.
Love and blessings,
Penny
I bought an owl this year that looks like a sibling of your owl, aren't they darling? Also your flamingo tree is fun.
Jess what a sweet share and how pretty all your Christmas touches look. Love the shell star oh and the jar with markers? I'd be delighted.
Have an amazing blessed Christmas.
HI JESS! As a 13 year "veteran" (not really, I still feel like a student teacher sometimes!), I hear what you're saying. I started my two week vacation yesterday and does it ever feel good. The school year and its demands allow for NO time.
Wishing you the best Christmas ever! Anita
the christmas vibes, the pictures looks amazing. Hope you have a wonderful time with your dear ones
Have a lovely week
Stay in touch
