Well thank goodness that happened with just about everyone there! It is funny how much you learn from someone just by reading their posts.

These ladies were AMAZING!! They were so sweet and humble and down-to-earth… while the rest of us were sweatin’ just getting up the nerve to go introduce ourselves. Well… I was at least!
I am sure you follow all of them already… but if not just click their name and follow! Their blogs are seriously inspirational and many of them are the very reason I blog now!
We also won prizes!!
Me cheezin’ because I won this awesome Steve Harpster book!
This book is so cool and perfect for my low students who are still working on number identification at the beginning of the year. What a fun way to do it! Each page has a number (1-20) and a step-by-step drawing tutorial to make a cute sea animal!
Here is an example page:
The number 10 and you can turn it into a super cute sea turtle!
He has some other books too {here} including one where you can make letters into monsters! Caaahute!
I should’ve taken more pictures but I was way too busy chatting and staring.
Check out Kelley and Stephanie’s blogs as I am sure they have more pics!
One last thing… I was about to do some laundry when BOOM! look who I found… in my dryer.
This is my cat, Jarvis. A few things about him:
-He has a huge, flamboyant tail
-We call him “The Ruiner” because… well… he ruins everything
-He is gay (note the flamboyant tail above)
-We love every inch of this little rascal!
What a cat cutie….and in the dryer. Gotta love cat's hiding places.
