Sistine Chapel update and Positive thought day 7

I do love Christmas ornaments so I decided to take some ornaments to Disney with me to have the  characters autograph them.  I got this idea from Cheapskateprincess whose blog is all about Disney.   I loved finding the characters and getting their autographs.  The characters had a ball signing them.  Several of them added special touches.  I am trying to hard not to leave one tree up all year with these on them.  This is just a sampling of my signatures. 

I have been working on Sistine Chapel over my Christmas break and my snow days. My goal is to have finished 12 scenes this year...this scene is 15 pages.  I have 1.5 pages left to go until it is complete.  

 Here is a close up of what I been working on these past few days.  The lower section of beige...lots of beige...

Positive thought Day 7:
I get to go back to work tomorrow!!!  I am so happy!!!  We have missed 7 days this year...2 we can make up during the school year,  so that leaves 5 days so far that is added to the end of the school calendar. Right now we are going into June.  So I am happy to go back to work!

Another snow day and positive thought day 6

I had another snow day today and will have one again tomorrow. As of now, we have to make up 7 snow days. I am hoping to have a summer break but it isn't looking good!

Positive thought for the day: there is nothing like a good cup of hot tea and a murder mystery to help pass the time on a snow day!

Snowy Sunday and positive thought day 6

Woke up this morning to a winter wonderland.  It snowed almost all day.  I spent my day stitching, drinking hot tea and watching Law and Order with my Dear Husband. I did finish a page of Sistine Chapel which I will post tomorrow.  I am a point that I can't take it out of the q-snaps.

Positive thought:

I am very thankful that I have a warm house to live.  Brigen is thankful too....he loves his blanket!

Small finish and positive thought day 4

Today started out as a wonderful day!   The furry babies and I slept in this morning.  The weather man said to expect 2-5 inches of snow so this meant a trip to Walmart today.  Wow!  Talk about a busy place!!!  It seems that if snow is in the forecast, then everyone is rushing to buy milk and bread.   Which are 2 of the items I needed after being out of town for a week.   

Here is a small finish for the start of the year.  I stitched most of Chip on the plane.  He is just so cute.

Around 2:00 pm this afternoon, I received some very bad news.  One of my former principal and friend passed away today.  We do not know the details but she will be greatly missed.  My favorite memory of her is my first year at BHS, she came into my room to observe me for my evaluation.  One of my students asked me a question and I didn't know the answer.  I told them I would have to do a little research but, I would have an answer for them during our afternoon class.  Kathy, my principal, raised her hand and said, "I can answer that for you."  She then proceeded to get up and teach part of my lesson.  She gave me a great evaluation telling me it takes a great teacher to admit they don't know something and to let someone else step up to help them.  Memory always makes me laugh.    She will be greatly missed!!!

Positive thought day 4:

I think that it is very important to remember the good times when you lose someone close to you.  That is what I am taking from my day today.  Even though you have lost a friend, you will always have the memories you shared.  

Positive thought day 3

A few delays at the airport but I made it home safe and sound.  I am back home with my DH and furry babies!!!

Positive thought day 2

When we booked our Disney vacation in April 2013, our airline flew Thursdays and Saturdays to Orlando.  When we booked our airline tickets, they changed their days to fly to Orlando to Fridays and Saturdays which meant, we had to add another night to our trip.  We decided to move down to a value resort since they are cheaper than where we were staying.

Today I am thankful that our luggage made it from our previous hotel to our new hotel on time and with nothing broken!
