Reading about someone putting it into action -- and feeling it's successful -- really gets me excited to do the same. The bit about the gift-giving as ceremony really resonated with me, too.

There will probably be some frilly girls among your students who will think you are the best thing ever if you let them do your bulletin boards. Find them & recruit them to do it. Second, pinterest has cute pictures of library displays that you can steal & show to the aforementioned bulletin board crew. Search for library displays or bulletin boards. Third, fabric instead of butcher paper is worth the investment as a backing. You can leave it up forever & it doesnt show staple marks as badly.Rebecca Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00654336860415775969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1545086505358831750.post-38087129052097414202012-07-28T21:29:45.400-05:002012-07-28T21:29:45.400-05:00Congratulations on your new position, Wendy!Congratulations on your new position, Wendy!Jane Loftonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220406251710676077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1545086505358831750.post-73453311371257221232012-06-14T11:45:17.258-05:002012-06-14T11:45:17.258-05:00Yay, glad you got a kitten!!!Yay, glad you got a kitten!!!darlingchatter123https://www.blogger.com/profile/04060571922251726802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1545086505358831750.post-30465023684898176682012-05-29T09:32:44.117-05:002012-05-29T09:32:44.117-05:00Wow.

If you copy and paste the title, long as it is, into the homepage universal search space, you'll find it. If you click on View Page, be sure to scroll to the section called MODELS AND PLANS FOR VARIOUS LETTERS AND NOTES PERTAINING TO DOMESTIC MATTERS, FRIENDSHIP,LOVE, MARRIAGE, ENTERTAINMENTS, ETC.
