FUN FALL PAPERS!

I had so much fun making these.  I hope you like them just as much as I do.  They have some wonderful texture to them.  

They are made at 300 DPI, which basically means you can expand them and they will still look good.

Enjoy!

ARROW PAPER AND FENCE BORDERS

So I've had these sitting on my computer for a while now.  Arrow digital paper - in 34 variations.  This would be great for scrapbooking or product covers, don't ya think?  Just click on the picture and it will take you to the product in my store.

Here are 84 borders and frames (frames have a white center).  Just think of all the fun things you can do with these.

Enjoy!

50% off in my store for the next 24 hours! So if you are liking this, don't hesitate.  Hop on over and buy it.  Just click on the picture.  Now go, go, go.

All these little guys are included in the pack, just in case you were wondering.

29 READING GENRE POSTERS

This is a fun item I've posted in my shop.  I really like it because each poster has a definition plus pictures of books that are under that genre.  AND... in the PDF file I've included Amazon links to those books, just in case you want to, you know, add to your copious collection. I love these posters because after I put one of them up I had a few kiddos go searching through my library looking for the "Poster Books".  It made me so happy to see their enthusiasm.

Are you the type of person that likes to put several posters up on a board?  I've included the colorful letters that you see up above in the PDF too.  So that way you can make a colorful title for your board!

CHOOSING A FONT

Okay, this post is more for me than anyone else.  I don't want to forget this site. I have a giant collection of fonts.  It's huge actually. Huge, huge, huge. I'm kind of addicted.
BUT...! I can never decide which one to use.  Until now ... Ta-da!

This site allows me to type in a word and then allows me to preview how a word looks using the various fonts on my computer.  Brilliant!   

WORD OF WISDOM FROM MY SON

"Remember, veggies are your friends," I said.
"No" replied my son.  "Corn dogs are like the friends you have that you talk to a lot.  Veggies are like the SMART friends that you like to have, but you don't really talk to too much."

New Clipart

Here are some of the new clipart packages that I have published.

This first one is a Freebie, just because sometimes you need a header, and regular frames always seem to squish down and loose some details.

I'm rather proud of these little kids.  They took me forever to draw, and I never seem to know what color clothes to put on them. {Suggestions are ALWAYS welcome}.

These little guys I drew on a whim.  They are blank templates (but white filled).  I can think of a ton of things that you might use these for.

Enjoy!

THE TRUE SIZE GEOGRAPHY WEBSITE

So here is a lovely geography website I just found out about.  Why didn't I find this sooner? thetruesize.com

Ever want to compare the size of one country to another?  How big is Greenland to compared to California or Australia?  Not as big as you might suppose.
Here's how it works: simply enter the name of the country into the search bar at the top left.  The country is then highlighted.  Next drag that country on top of another country and you've got your comparison.  Simple.  Easy.  And enlightening.
Some countries are much larger, or smaller, than I was given to believe.  The Mercator maps tend to skew size a bit.
As for Greenland - it looks huge on the map, but it's really only about the size of Mexico, or India. The wonders I could share with my kids!  What fun.

TURTLES AND TURTLE SHELL PIECES CLIPART

Have you ever been incredibly behind, and just hope that if you do nothing things will sort themselves out?  Yes?  No?  Is it only me then? Well here is something that I made a couple of weeks ago and posted to my store.  It was a brilliant request by Robin at https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/A-Kentucky-Kindergarten.  

The shell labels would be great for math or language arts activities - match the shapes to the shell pieces, put a question (say 1+1) on the turtle shell and the answer on the shell piece.  Then match  the pieces together.  How Fun!

Robin, thanks so much for the request and I wish you well in all your endeavors.
