Love Is In The Air

I just have to share some cute and loving things I heard this week in kindergarten!

Conner said, "Mrs. S., I love you so much, tonight I'm going to write you a love note!"

While we made paper snowmen for our bulletin board, one child said, "I'm going to put my snowman's hands up so he can praise Jesus!"

A little boy said while praying, "thank you for our loving school and for giving us faith in You. Help us to do our best work today."

A 4th grade girl came to my classroom and said she had a present for me. A little box with cherry earrings inside, "because you love cherries, Mrs. S." She's right, I do!

Working in a Christian school is a sweet blessing that I can hardly express in words. No, it's not money. Or, a retirement plan. And, sometimes fear for the future does set in. But, it's being surrounded by something I do HOPE in.

This month, as you think of True Love, would you be willing to put a little goodie bag together for a teacher you know? Teachers give so much love away! I believe they would appreciate it!

Maybe even a donation to a local Christian school?

As a kinder teacher, a goodie bag with valentine supplies and maybe a Starbucks card, would be greatly appreciated. I know! It happened to me!

May your week be blessed!

Happy Making Valentines!

I have spent some time in my craftroom making a few new valentines. It's fun to bring out my doo-dads and create something cute.

You see these pink roses? They were given to me by a kinder kid one year. There were 100 little roses glued to her 100th Day Hat! She said, "You can have my hat! I know you think it is so cute, Mrs. S." she was right! I did!

It's fun to remember the gals that gifted me such cuteness.

Little gifts are everywhere around my home, and this little one too.

Thank you sweet friends!

Joy to the World!

It's Christmas Morning!

Santa arrived in the wee hours when Hubs and I were nestled in our cozy bed.

 

May your Christmas be Merry and Bright!

*********

My children are not with us on this special day. They are grown, and live too far for hot chocolate visits. I almost didn't decorate this year. Do you know the feeling? Hubs lugged in 25+ bins and I sorted and smiled at Christmas memories. I have so many cute things. I do love Santa...especially the bright vintage red Santa of my youth.

Merry Christmas everyone. The Lord has blessed us.

Merry Christmas One And All!

A Savior is Born!

A Baby born to save the world.

This vintage nativity belonged to my mom when I was a little girl. It brings very good memories to me when I set it up. Simple and sweet.

The nativity was such a mystery to me when I was little. We didn't go to church and I was so curious about God. My mother told me the story of that special night. I remember playing with this nativity and begging to set it up each year. I loved to unwrap the little figurines and arrange them again and again.

My hutch is filled to the brim with pink and green depression glass. My sweet sister-in-law gave me lots of the green a few months ago. I love to play with it.

Let it snow, tiny village. I'm hoping for snow too.

My mother's glittered deer.

Jesus is our Good Shepherd.

Tomorrow I will post my Santa Claus room.

Hugs, Patti
