All you need is LOVE!

Whoaaaaa!!!
I have not posted anything since November my friends! I am so sorry about that! Truth be told, I have been out of the country for a whole month! We decided to spend Christmas in Peru with my family (I am originally from there, in case you didn't know). My husband stayed with us for two and a half weeks, and I stayed for a month with the kids. My Grandma's 78th birthday was on January 11th so many relatives came from overseas and from other parts of Peru to celebrate HER. I was so blessed that my mom offered me to fly over to Texas with the kids and me; otherwise, I don't think I could have been able to come back on my own with two little kids (cheers for all those brave and strong moms who do that!).

Anyways! After giving my whole reason of why I have been absent for so long, I would like to do a little reminder of things I have for FREE and paid products for Valentine's!!!

First, I wanted to share one of my favorite Valentine's freebies. I think Mr. Heart came out really cute! Your students could write a letter to another friend in the classroom, or write about what they like about Valentine's or write about a favorite part of a valentine's story! Your options are endless!!! PLUS, I think they would look so cute on a bulletin board, don't you think?? Click HERE to download it :)

So after Mr. Heart, I felt pretty cool, but then I found these AMAZING pattern paper that I HAD to buy!!!! Don't you agree with me???

So after a few hours thinking what cute things I could do with these papers, I thought about a real envelope that kids can do! I'm HORRIBLE with origami, so I hope you are not expecting that awesome and complicated method level of origami! HA!

I looked on Google for EASY ways to make an envelope, and I found soooo many options! Most of them were too hard for this teacher :| 

I found this great website where there are many different templates, but I didn't want to go that far at this time, I just wanted simple steps and not having to make copies of the pattern and cut and so on... HOWEVER, if you would like to check it out, please DO! She really has great ideas different websites for different types of envelopes! Click HERE to take you there :)

I also found this picture with steps on how to do an envelope from a heart shape. So I thought it would be cute for students to write a short note on the back of the heart (the blank side), make the envelope, and just glue it with a foam sticker or something that when you open it, you would open the whole letter at once!

I got this picture from The Crafty Blog Stalker

Here are my pictures and how my envelope came up :) Not so perfect, but I think it would do the trick...

Then, I found this picture, I thought it was pretty simple and the steps were pretty clear, so I gave it a try.. I am NOT good at any of these things, so believe me when I tell you: "If I can do it, so can you!" I got this picture from Making Friends

I personally skipped the pattern and I tried to skip steps that I saw they were not a big deal. Mine didn't come up as perfect as it shows on the picture (of course, that happens when you skip steps on the instructions! Lol). However, I think for students and the purpose of it, it was pretty good! :)

These are my pictures on how my envelope came up :)

So along with this cute envelope, I created a Free letter pattern for kids to write a letter to a friend.... I think the best way to do this (so everyone gets a letter and no one gets more than anyone else), might be for them to choose a partner or you can even choose partners randomly!

This freebie comes in both English and Spanish with two different styles! Hope you like it as much as I do :) Click HERE to download this letter for FREE :)

Now I would like to show you what I have in my store!

Do you still feel the love??? Part II Linky Party with Freebies!

As I promised my friends, I am back with some goodies for Valentine's day!! :)

First, I wanted to share a freebie I posted last year. I think Mr. Heart came out really cute! Your students could write a letter to another friend in the classroom, or write about what they like about Valentine's or write about a favorite part of a valentine's story! Your choice, the options are endless!!! PLUS, I think they would look so cute on a bulletin board, don't you think??

Come by my store and get it for FREE!!! Click HERE to download it :)

So after Mr. Heart, I felt pretty cool, but this year I made a HUGE mistake... wait for it, you'll understand what I mean.... 

Everything started with my husband and I reorganizing our home office, it needed A LOT of organization. We had great and new furniture, but we still had so much stuff that needed to be put away and even thrown away... So our goal for this new year and before baby boy comes, was to finish this home office. So we went to Ikea (another huge mistake) and I'm happy to say we are almost done with it! We are so happy we are almost there in less than a month! Sooooo with all these ideas from Ikea and Pinterest, I decided to go to Hobby Lobby (for those that don't have one, this is like a Michael's store or a craft store if you must know), you see now what I meannnnn??? I just went to get some mini jars to storage small erasers and small items that needed to be away from my "Pollita" (did I mention my desk drawers are completely empty because she likes pulling everything out??).

But then I said to myself, "why don't you stop by the scrapbooking papers to see what's new? You are JUST GONNA SEE!" YEAH RIGHT!!!!

I found these AMAZING pattern paper that I HAD to buy!!!! Don't you agree with me???

So after a few hours thinking what cute things I can do with these papers, I thought about a real envelope that kids can do! I'm HORRIBLE with origami, so I hope you are not expecting that! HA!

Hello everyone!!!
So I know we are in the middle of January and you should be still thinking about snowmen and penguins in your class! HOWEVER, Valentine's is coming and you can feel the loveeeee that comes with chocolate!! lol (you it's true!!!)
This year I will not be coming home with bags of chocolates (thanks to my students who eagerly come with big hearts full of sweets inside) and I am sure my husband will not be happy about that (he would eat most of the chocolates, stating that I take too long in eating them, lol). On the other hand, I think my body and cavities would appreciate it ;)

Love is in the air!! Let's have a giveaway!! :)

Hi everyone!!!
How was your week? Did you get to have a snow day yesterday?? The weather here in Central Texas has been crazyyyy!! I know you probably have seen me saying this A LOT.. but seriously.. we were on the high 60s at the beginning of the week, and we ended up having snow on Friday! Now, don't tell me that is not crazyyy!! lol
We never close school, but this time we got to have a "snow day"... I say it like that because I compare this kind of snow day with Maryland... I am telling you, I kinda laugh at Texas.. HOWEVER, I DO appreciate having an extra day off  :) PLUS, I have to admit that my driving winter skills are not as good as seven years ago, so I DO appreciate not having to drive on icy roads, and hours of traffic; especially when I have to drive about 30 minutes to get to school and pass by at least three bridges...
