This may prove to be a very lazy Sunday for me. My must do list isn't complicated and only one of those things actually requires me to do school work. I got home late last night and woke up early so I may be taking a nap later. Teacher Appreciation week is in two weeks and I have everything planned out for my bestest teacher homies. I work with some amazing women and I love celebrating them each chance I get. I can't tell you all that I have planned because there's always the slight possibility they may read my blog so I'll be posting more during the actual week. I will tell you that I've ordered the all famous ACOOKIEJAR cookies. My friends love them, well my friends who are not gluten free and vegan love them!

| Crayon Cookies from ACOOKIEJAR |
Speaking of Sunday... in exactly one week I'll be 33 years old! I've been doing some birthday shopping for myself. I was able to get a pedicure last week and buy a new maxi skirt from Target but I got some other cool things as well...

Got these babies from Sam's Club. I think I spent about $14 for them. It was love at first sight!

| Erin Condren Deluxe Notebook |
I used the Erin Condren Teacher Planner this year (by the way, they are 25% off right now if you want one, code TEACHER25) but going forward I intend to do my lesson plans on the computer. That's where the Deluxe Notebook comes in. I bought the 8 1/2 by 11in notebook and added a yearly calendar. I'm going to use it to store dates for the school year and keep notes throughout the year. I also cut out the two sheet protectors from my teacher planner and popped them in my calendar and I'll use that to keep my long range plans and school calendar.

| Creative Paper Box |
I love Krista Wallden's clip art and use it almost exclusively on my documents. Once she launched her paper collection I knew I had to have taste! I got it in the mail yesterday and I am in love. 2 large notepads, 3 small notepads, 30 postcards... well really you could use them as notecards too, 20 notecards with envelopes.
So as you can see... if I don't receive another birthday gift, all is well. I've pretty much purchased everything I wanted... all except the Honey Baked Ham. I told all my friends and family I wanted a Honey Baked Ham for my birthday and they thought I was joking... I was so serious!
I think we're sisters. I am IN LOVE with Papermate Flairs, Erin Condren, Krista Wallden, and Honey Baked Ham. :) I actually just purchased my next year's teacher planner from Erin Condren - I've got the life planner, but this is my first teacher planner - and I'm going from computer-based to planner-based plans. Just curious about why you're changing this year? Was there something about the EC planner you didn't like?
ReplyDeleteI didn't use all the parts... the checklists, graph paper, I loved the calendar part though. Because the boxes were small I noticed I got real skimpy with what I would write down. I loved it though. Hoping to try planbook.com since it has the standards and all you do is click a drop down box. All of that would never fit in my plan book.
DeleteMy birthday is next week, too, and I like how you celebrate ;-) All of my favorite colors and some great, fun things going on in this post--I love it. I think I might have to celebrate a little more like you (minus the ham...I'm more of an ice cream cake kinda girl). Enjoy and have a wonderful birthday!
