Feeling Crafty

I am obsessed with flag garland.  My love inspired these little note cards.  I can't wait to write messages on them like....
CELEBRATE 
or 
BE HAPPY 
or 
YAY YOU 

My new classroom has lots of metal doors and trim.  I figure I will take advantage of it and use it as a place to hang photos or display children's work.  I wanted some funky magnets to hang stuff with.  I saw these at a street market recently and decided to try making them myself.  They turned out so fun, I want to make more!  Maybe even as gifts to go along with the flag garland cards.

Squeezing It In


 Here is my list of happy I am planning for the last weeks of summer.

Swimming at Walden Pond
Making pesto
Seeing this exhibit at the DeCordova
Going on a bike ride
Kayaking
Catching these movies
Getting away one more time

I Love New York Trips

Walked the Brooklyn Bridge.  In the rain.  Waiting on the other side was Grimaldi's Pizza.
Waited in line for Jimmy Fallon tickets.  Twice.
Visited the Guggenheim for the first time.  Enjoyed the Frank Lloyd Wright Exhibit.
Biked in Central Park.  This is my cruiser.
Came home with 3 pairs.  Come to find out Miz Mooz has stores.  Only in NYC.  Probably a good thing.
