Mia....., giveaways and misc!!

I have been MIA!! Now that school is finished for the summer I took a few days to relax and let me head unwind from the crazy year I have had. We are going camping this weekend and staying for a week! I am excited! We are lucky enough to have WIFI at the campground we are staying at!  I have been cleaning the house, catching up on laundry, getting my son ready for boy scout camp out this weekend at Sleeping Bear Dunes! And I have just been completely WIPED out!

We also had a our pool fixed this week. It needed some new plumbing to work better. Now it is just a disgusting shade of green that I can't get rid of. So we are off to the pool store to have the water tested and get some more chemicals. Hopefully that will fix it!

Here are some things that I am obsessed with............

1. New Fonts!!! I am always on the look out for new fonts!! I have over 1000 on my home computer! 

2. Clip-art! I have been purchasing a ton of clip-art lately so I can use it in the things I make here in my classroom and will be making for my TPT store. 

3. Photography- This has always been important to me but I FINALLY want to learn how to get out of my comfort zone (auto mode) and shoot in manual mode! 

4. Teacher Blogs!! I have been blog-stalking for a long time now and I finally jumped in with 2 feet and started my own!

What are you obsessed with? There has to be something!!
