Vday

Hopefully everyone had a wonderful Valentine's day!  I've been away for a few days.  The husband and I went to Barcelona for a weekend trip.  It was our joint birthday & valentine's day gift to each other.  It was about twenty degrees warmer than Geneva, so it was welcomed even though it was still just 45 degrees. I didn't have to wear gloves though!  Beautiful city.  I think I could live there and eat tapas for the rest of my life.  Soooo yum.

Our Valentine's day wasn't overly exciting yesterday.  We made pizza together and cuddled up on the couch.  We've never been huge vday people.  It's kind of weird... cute... but weird.  We try to show our love, eat chocolate, drink wine, and buy flowers weekly.  No sense in waiting all year for only one day of it.  I always love reading the posts on Facebook from the Valentine's Day haters.  It's so entertaining.

Anyway, I just posted another FREE Bingo set to TPT... it's St. Patrick's Day!  I'm getting excited.  It's such a fun holiday!  You can click the picture to download here or go to TPT and snag it.  I should mention that green beer is not one of the images despite being an integral part of any St. Patty's Day celebration. I have a St. Patrick's Day post coming soon with more fun ideas.



I'm also working on some fun adaptable labels & sign sets with cute borders.  I currently use them for word wall words, vocabulary sets, and a ton of other stuff.  I should be done this week (with two patterns).  I will post a Freebie for you to check out and the whole pack on TPT.  I've got a ton of cute border patterns and colors!!!  So exciting! 


Happy hump day!

Adaptable Labels... Giveaway!

I've posted a few sets of adaptable labels over the past few days.  I use these guys for everything!

Labeling...

  • supplies
  • student cubbies
  • notebooks
  • word wall words
  • card games
  • little mini vocabulary lists for students
  • little notes 
  • center signs
  • steps in a series of directions
  • library tub labels
  • ... and more.
Here's an example of what you can do with them.  (This is just one of the styles)

You open the document, customize the labels, and print.  There's none of that 'shifting box' mess that I hate. The boxes stay the same size and you can edit whatever is inside of them.  Pretty easy and quick.  You can 'Save As' each set you make to use again if you need to.    

Here are the ones I've posted so far.  Click the picture to get them on TPT for $1.50 each.
Style A: 6 per page, 2x4.5 inches

Style A: 6 per page, 3.1x3.3 inches

Style A: 12 per page, 2.3x2.3 inches

Style B: 6 per page, 2x4.5 inches 

 
Style B: 6 per page, 3x3 inches 

Style B: 12 per page, 2x2 inches 


Style C: 6 per page, 2x4.5 inches 


Style C: 6 per page, 3x3 inches 


Style C: 12 per page, 2x2 inches


Style C: 3 per page, 2x9.5 inches


Style C: 4 per page, 3.5x4.5 inches

Did you like how I did that?  Used my own labels?  So tricky.

Ok.  That is all.

Also, if your interested in winning a Build-A-Board-Game set... click here.  That ends tomorrow too.

Ok.  This is the end.  Seriously.  Happy Thursday!


Update:  Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner... Melissa!!!  Woohoo!

I Have, Who Has... a cold.

Well, I'm officially sick.  I've been in denial.  We went to Verbier this weekend to ski and I finally accepted it on the way home when I found that I was 'mouth breathing' and wiping snot from my upper lip every thirty seconds.  Turns out it wasn't the skiing or altitude.  :(

That's me in the hot 'lemon' pants.

I'm excited that I've reached the 6 follower mark!  Woohoo!  I might throw myself a wine party when I hit double digits.  I'm really enjoying having this blog.  It's fun and I'm making some new connections in the process.


Onto business...

You know the ' I have, who has' game?  Hopefully.  I love it and it's a great activity for vocabulary, reviews, math... basically anything.  I have found that this game even works well with my EFL kids.  It tackles the listening, speaking, and reading components I work into each lesson.  

I've had this template for a few years and just adapt it to whatever I've need.  I went ahead and made it TPT/follower friendly.  I also took pictures of my own sets, included directions, ideas, sample cards, and 32 adaptable cards. This template is so easy to use.  You click on the boxes, type text, enter pictures, and print.  The boxes don't shift and the pictures will re-size themselves to fit... no giant clipart overtaking the document when you insert it.  

I'm going to post some free PDF sets (various content) on here in the next couple of days, so be on the look out.  In the meantime, here is the set you can customize yourself.  I've posted to TPT.  It's $2.00 and you can 'Save As' to keep each set you create.  Make as many as you want!      

Hopefully you find it useful!  Also, don't forget to enter the 'giveaway' for the 'Build-A-Board-Game' in my last post.  The deadline is this Friday (2.3.12).   

Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Calendar Crazy

So, I'm sort of a calendar nut.  I love having a large one (whether printed or in a book form) that I can write all over.  I love my iPad calendar, but after recently losing it in Chicago (at the airport) and waiting an agonizing 14 days to retrieve it, I've decided to just do the paper one and add to the iPad if needed.  I think I'll eventually be in the 21st century again.  I used to do everything by Outlook, but I don't have it anymore with this new computer... too cheap to spend $100 on just Outlook.  

Here are some calendars I've had on my computer for a while... I didn't just decide to make a bunch of calendars.  That's been done before... but I do love the cute colors.  :)  I use this one pictured below (picture of June because the months prior are already written all over and you don't need to know my birthday or travel plans).  I love Monday start calendars because it makes the weekend more exciting for some reason... gray boxes together give the illusion of a longer break?  I don't know.


Anyway, I've tweaked the calendar a bit to offer six different versions.  Click the pictures to download (for Free) in my TPT store!

1.  Blank, Color, Sunday Start                   
  

2.  Blank, Color, Monday Start        
     

 3.  2012, Color, Monday Start

4.  Blank, BW, Sunday Start            

  5.  Blank, BW, Monday start        

6.  2012, BW, Monday Start

Hopefully they come in handy!  Happy Monday!  Or is it?
