He Leadeth Me

I don't know about you, but I LOVE Dollar Tree. I can find the greatest things there. Recently I was traveling to do 4 different presentations in one week. I had to have a way to keep all of the books and supplies for each presentation separated in my suitcase. I thought I would use those BIG Ziplock bags, but before I could purchase them I happened to be in my local Dollar Tree. Low and behold (is that a southern expression or what?) they had some zipper bags that looked like they would be just right. Wala!! All the supplies for Presentation #1 nicely stored away. You can't tell in the photo, but they even have a handle for carrying. Here's what the bags look like. They come in a couple of sizes, are a great weight, and best of all the entire box of 2 or 3 (depending on the size) are only $1. HAPPY SHOPPING!

I am a TEACHER! Always have been, always will be! You can ask my brothers and sisters who were tortured into playing school with me when I was just a little girl. One of the things I miss most about teaching children is getting to "smell" the school supplies. You read that right--smell them. There is just something that says "School is starting soon" when you walk down the aisles of Target and smell the school supplies. So today I indulged myself. I walked the Target aisles and took a big whiff. And then, I found these 3 delightful binders and bought them. What am I going to do with them you ask? Why recipe files of course! Guess that means I have to COOK! Oh, well, it will be worth it to have cute school supplies in my kitchen year round to look at--or to smell!! Happy Start of the 2010-2011 School Year!
