It's official. I'm graduating in December. I'm currently looking for jobs and hopefully one day I can move out and have some space to breathe. Living with several other people is difficult for me, especially when I can't swap or have hobbies! (cue violin) We'll see though because I picked a field that pays in hugs and glitter.

I'm considering going all "one red paperclip" and attempting to trade a paperclip for a house. If you don't know, a fellow started with a red paperclip and kept trading for better things until he eventually ended up with a house. Maximum santzgaut! I may not be ambitious enough.

In 23 hours I'll be 23 years old! AGHHH

Since the beginning of the semester, I've stopped having hobbies! My Etsy stores are in a perpetual vacation mode and all my stuff is boxed up. All my time goes into school work since I've taken too many classes, but there is definitely a creative aspect to early childhood education. And there is a light at the end of the tunnel considering this is my last semester. Hopefully I can get a job and stop being a poor person! Das is all maximum santzgaut!

Preschool Newsletter:

I used photoshop to create a fictional newsletter for my center "Sweet Peas". It turned out incredibly cute.

Felt Pizzas for the dramatic play center:

I cut cardboard boxes into two circles and covered them with off-white felt to create a pizza crust. Then I used felt to create the sauce and pizza toppings. Children can create their own pizzas in the dramatic play area and use the small pizza boxes to play restaurant. My preschoolers (ages 3-5) loved it.

Caterpillar ABC/Numbers felt game:

I bought several pieces of colored felt and cut them into circles. I added felt stick-on letters and numbers. I made a caterpillar head and children can create an entire caterpillar by using the pieces. Believe it or not, felt boards are a big subject in early childhood.

I'm not good with goodbyes so...Later.

Key to my Heart Necklace (Brass) by plasticouture

I love this so much! It's romantic but more than that I really like it layered like in the picture. You could also give it the key to someone if you want, but I'd keep them together. TOO CUTE.

New Additions part 100

Later this week I'll be adding a few totally new items to my shop, which will all be vegan lip balms made by yours truly. Here is a sneak peak at my favorite two:

Polyjuice Potion inspired lip balm. Other than "goblin piss" HP gives no clues as to what Polyjuice Potion tastes like. So I gave this lip balm a soothing eucalyptus flavor.

Buttbeer flavored lip balm, which I am most excited about. It definitely tastes like a "less sickly butterscotch". Very true to HP! Lily has already eaten an entire tube of this.

I have a lot more concocting to do (more flavors!), not to mention label tweeking, and finally shrink wrapping! Later dudes.
