My first Linky Party presents....... 

Listening: To a mixture of sounds! Mainly the thoughts I have shooting around my head! I swear sometimes the thoughts I have ZINGS! or  ZAP! ...and ZOOM! Its like mental spin ball in there. If you ask my best friend, I am "always on". I just have so many ideas and things I want to do or create, and my mind wants me to start them all at once. Sometimes this is distracting when I want to FOCUS on one thing but I have found it an AWESOME ADVANTAGE in the classroom :-)

Oh....and my Pandora Stations rock!! I typed in #Beyonce at the gym last week and since then I have gotten some random mix of mostly Soulful Christian Singers ( Mary Mary, Hezekiah Walker, Byron Cage etc.) and some random R&B/Soul artists (mainly Beyonce, Jhene Aiko, Erykah Badu, etc). BEST. STATION. EVER.

Loving: So I created a project on #DONORSCHOOSE in December. I am a SPED teacher of 3rd and 4th grade Mathematics, so I mainly requested games that reinforce number sense/fluency and some intervention materials. Well thanks to an awesome bunch of my friends from youth and college and fellow teacher friends it was funded in like 10 hrs...Now the swag has started to trickle in! My lil sweeties love it all!

Practicing "counting on" using our new
Hip Hoppin Hundreds Mat!

Thinking: I am soo in love with how my first customers Monogrammed Art turned out! She is not only a first customer, she is also my mentor for my first year with this new school district! It came out super awesome and I am excited for her to see it. 

To inquire about a purchase see my "Cute & Crafty " section of my blog. Details,samples and email info are available there!

She wanted a beach theme and 
her favorite quote is LIVE LAUGH LOVE!

Wanting: To improve my finances in order to purchase my dream house in 2015. I am working on it! My move to MD was short notice and it hit me kind of hard. The cost of living is nothing like my hometown (Hampton, VA). I have hit a few blips, but God has gotten me through them. I am beginning the 52-Week Money Challenge. Hopefully this will keep me motivated to become more financially savvy as I countdown to my 30th year dream house goal!! 

Needing: To organize my condo and conquer Dirty Dish Mountain! There are crafts and crayons and doodads EVERYWHERE. When I have a lot on my mind (see above)my friends and smily always know by how my condo looks. It is not disgusting...just slightly disorganized. I got it covered though. As for Dish Mountain....no one can say they love doing dishes. I will save you the boring explanation and just say, my sink is temperamental. 

Memory/Tradition: Just reflecting on how far I have come....and where I am going. I am extremely blessed and have learned a lot from ALL the things I have experienced! God is not through with me yet...and that makes me smile :-)
