Long Time No Blog...

Yes, it's been a while.  Either my life is boring and I have nothing to blog about OR I've been very busy.  So, if you know me...you know I'm NOT boring..right?  So, here's a few tidbits on the last month....


Dear Sweet Cindy was my Secret Pal for the past year in Pink Flamingos! 

Extra!  Extra!  Read All About It!  Producing a school newspaper...LJHS Keeping Track of the Wampus Cats! 
I won a grant back in December from the Louisiana Council for Exceptional Children.  This is the presentation board I had to create and I went to Lafayette to receive the $$.  I won $500 for the technology to produce a school newspaper.  I teach gifted 7th and 8th graders and the board shows pictures of them hard at work on the newspaper.  The paper went on sale February 1...we sold 150 copies so far.  The kids are amazing and I'm so proud of them.

This is Mike Artell in MY classroom working with my 7th grade gifted class.  What???  You don't know who that is???
Well, he is the author of "The Three Little Cajun Pigs"  "Petite Rouge" and "Jacques and the Beanstalk"

Drawing a cartoon for our school newpaper!  I'm going to have it framed for my classroom!

Talking to my students about thinking outside the box!  Oh boy!  Do we do that on a daily basis!
Gotta love the gifted!

My daughter, Rachel, and husband Chris...and baby girl Henry!

Hey Baby Girl Henry....Lily??

Sarah bought me a giant cupcake maker!  Whoot Whoot!
I made a birthday cake for Rachel...so cute...don't know what happened to the pictures!  Boo!

Cuteness with a capital C!
I made this cute creation with my Cricut!  My bestie saw one back in October at a craft show and said, Friend, make me one.
SO, I did!  One for her...and one for me!

Z for Zandra!

M for Melissa!

See, I told you I wasn't boring...just busy!
