This summer I've enjoyed Pinterest. I've gained a lot of ideas and pinned to an ever-increasing number of boards on my homepage there. Through this addiction, I've discovered the connected community of bloggers out there. And now I've decided to jump in with you all and get interactive on my own site.
I'm a teacher. Like teachers everywhere I love the blessing of collaboration. Sharing ideas. Sharpening my own tools on the sharp blades of others. Like you. Sharing makes the great ideas go farther. More students benefit. Win/win!
I'm also an artist at heart. Though I must confess I get too little time to really work at it during the school year except through the craftiness I can bring into the classroom. But that doesn't stop me from gathering ideas...my heart beats crayon, paint, cutting and COLOR!
I'm a writer and have a poet's soul, but again it all gets funneled through inspiring third graders in their own writers' craft! This blog may be all the time I get to write during teaching season...so don't be too hard on me!
I love animals and children and everything about learning. In the past few years (comes with aging) I've been learning how not to take myself and living on this planet too seriously. But as it says in the Bible's book of Proverbs, a woman can laugh at the days to come when she's prepared enough.
So... getting organized toward "less is more," sharing from my own half century of collecting ideas, dreams, supplies, and a little wisdom-- I begin my blogging journey among so many talented women. I desire to know you and to laugh with you at the days to come!

P. S. I've especially been blessed this summer by two of my favorite blog stops and want to "thank" them by recommending them to you here:
Christina's Adventures
The Organized Classroom
Eventually I will figure out how to copy their grab buttons and post them for you to link to. Tomorrow.
