Personalized Stamps

I am beyond excited about the personalized stamps that I created on Vistaprint.com.  I can not wait to use them on my student's papers!  I really hope they love them too. 

All this started last year when I was on Pinterest and came across two pins that made me think, "Hmmm... I could do that!"  Isn't that how it always starts?  Lol...Thankfully this time I was oh so right!  The first pin that I pinned was a tutorial by Kindercraze on how to create stamps on Vistaprint.

 

Click the picture above to pin the video tutorial.  It'll make you wonder why you didn't already know how to create these stamps!  It really is that easy.  I also pinned this pin by 2 Crazy Texas Teachers.

They run that same special every so often.

 



I'll have to let you know what my students think once I get to use them on their papers.  My goal is to use the stamps on graded papers, station assignments, homework, and other things like that.

I'm linking up with Farley over at Oh Boy 4th Grade for the August Currently.  I can not believe it is already August.  YIKES! 

 

I was searching for something new to watch on Netflix, when my sister reminded me that I wanted to watch Blacklist.  I was hesitant, but didn't really have anything else to watch.  Oh.My.Word.  I'm hooked!  I'm almost done with season 1 and just realized that season 2 is not on Netflix.  Say What?!!?  I checked Hulu and they only have season two episodes 18-22.  I must find season 2 and watch it before B2S.

 

I am loving my personalized stamps!  Last summer I pinned a pin on Pinterest about creating your own stamps at Vistaprint.  Well, I gave it a try and it worked!  I LOVE them!  I plan to blog about them sometime next week, but here's a sneak peak.

 

 

I blogged last week about my job change.  I not only changed from primary to intermediate, but I changed school districts!  I have so much left to do in my classroom.  I have been lucky because I have been able to get into my room the past week and a half, and the air conditioner is on as well!  I've only really worked about 2-3 hour each day, because my girls have been tagging along.  You know how it is when you move into a different room.  You have to organize what's there before you can unpack.

 

My goal is to only work in my room 2 days next week and then enjoy about a week until New Employee Orientation.  I really, really want some time to read a "fun" book before school starts!  I know once school starts it will be all about learning a new grade level and trying to keep my head above water.

 

I really need someone to come spray paint some things for me.  I spend quite a bit of time spray painting a book shelf last week and although it turned out fine some other things I spray painted did NOT!  I really need some HELP in this area.

 

 

 

For a B2S RAK, I was planning to either bake some homemade treats for my team or put together a small goodie bag.  It will all come down to how much time and money I have left by then!

 

I can't believe I'm actually posting my currently on the first of them month!  I think that is the first time ever!  Woot, Woot!

 

That's all I got!  I'll see you around the blogging world!
