I'm baaaack! I'd almost given up on my blogging venture, but have decided, with summer almost here, to put forth the effort to add a post every now and then. See, with January came the busiest time of the year for me . . . TESTING SEASON. Here in Texas, public education is driven relentlessly by the annual standardized testing monster -- the TAKS test. At my school, I am the testing coordinator, meaning I make sure every one of the 1000 students at my school has the proper test, the proper accommodations, and a place to take the test. Not just for the TAKS test, but for every practice run/test we have to prepare for it. It's the public school equivalent of being a wedding coordinator, but with about 4 weddings in one week. It's exhausting.
And once the tests are finished, the results come back, and then those have to be filed (again . . . 1000 students) and delivered to students. Tomorrow is the official last day of school for the kids, and I just finished filing all the results today . . . Just in time to receive another batch of scores. Work is never dull, that's for sure!
HOWEVER, summer IS almost here, and I can clear my head of all the data mush that's clogging it up and focus on more important matters: my craft, my Etsy shop ( www.tyvm.etsy.com ), my blog, and most importantly, my FAMILY!!
I don't have a lot of fancy pictures today, but stay posted! I've done a project for a friend's daughter that is absolutely adorable, I learned how to take better pictures (soooo much better!), and have a few things I'll be sharing (think craft-area remodel - actually, it's not a remodel if it never existed, huh?) Anywho, stay posted for pictures of the progress :-).
For now, all I have is a new widget of my shop items - Check it out!! I feel so tech-savvy!!===>
