Confessions of a Middle School Teacher

My little loves :)

Just a few of my newest creations :)

:) #teacheroftheyear

This happened earlier tonight :) I'm so thankful to everyone that came out to help celebrate tonight and those who have helped me along the way. :) #teacheroftheyear #teachersofinstagram #teachersofinstagram #grateful

FOSTER NEEDED!!! A rescue is willing to pull Princess from the shelter if they have a foster for her. If no foster is found, she will most likely be euthanized. Please share this post and help us find a place for this sweet girl before it is too late. She shouldn't have to suffer the consequences of someone else's irresponsibility. My heart is breaking that we cannot pull her ourselves, but it would be impossible for us to properly contain/support five dogs until our new fence is built. She is currently located at the Ascension Parish Animal Shelter. Her file number is 1490. #fosterneeded #dogrescues #labmix #labmixesofinstagram #louisianadogrescue (at Gonzales, Louisiana)

I have to keep reminding myself that just like my art, it's okay if things don't always turn out exactly the way you had it planned in your head. The important thing is to hold on tight and enjoy the unplanned adventures. #arttherapy #craftyteacher #doctorwho

My amazing fiancé has been painting our pups' portraits to hang in the dog room in our new house. I am in love with their realistic portraits and the pop culture portraits! Google is Harry Pugger Gadget is Batdog Bea is the 11th Doctor (my personal favorite) Sammi is a Cyberdog

Someone dumped these sweet Lab mix puppies on the street outside our house last night. I will never understand how some people can be so cruel to such sweet puppies. We would keep them in a heartbeat if we didn't already have four dogs. Meet Amelia and Melody Pond who are both looking for a great home! :)

Y’all! Check out my Awesome new blog design! I absolutely LOVE it!

Just a little last minute art before I go back to reality tomorrow. I'm still not sure where Winter Break went...

One thing I am definitely going to miss when I go back to school next week is spending all day with my babies.

Just a little late night painting :)

I may not be the best artist ever, but they aren't too bad considering I can't draw a straight line with a ruler. I can't wait to hang these in my classroom! :)

Just a little something I threw together tonight. Now I just have to decide where to put this in my classroom. 

Designing my end of the year rewards for my students...we only have 9 school days left! Where did this year go?
