More Templates and Character Clouds

The day is gorgeous outside.  The kids are practicing their rock climbing skills with daddy, and the house is nice and silent.  I decided that while I think of what to do with my 'mommy-free' time, I'd like to share two quick things with you.

Last night I worked on adding 10 more desktop templates.  After I posted it, I received a few ideas, and I got around to adding them last night.  I added fruits, watermelon, owls, dogs, baseball and superheroes...keep sending me your ideas.

Find them HERE.

42 Templates as of right now :)

Let's move on to today... school... painful, but quick :)  

Beautiful morning. 73 degrees right now. I really need to get out!

Then came the clouds.... 

My student teacher finished teaching about character traits. First, she read this super cute book.  She created a trait anchor chart as a review.  The kids traced a cloud to make and describe the main character in the book.  

Then came the traits...

They added character traits about Cloudette.  She created a chart of inside traits and outside traits.  I wish I had taken a picture of her chart. The kids are coming up with amazing descriptions.

Check out the lightning! 

Lastly... the one thins I dislike to do right before track out. 

Wish me luck,

Desktop Organizers....Editable!

I must show you the latest thing I finished a few days back.



I found my inspiration HERE, and even though I would love the Mac from this picture, I had to do my best using my nine year dinosaur PC.

I started making one template, then another, checking my clip art and paper collection, and by the time I was ready to call it done, I had 33 templates (and growing).  I am planning on adding more for sure.

Fin them HERE! 

I also decided to make them editable so the titles can be 'personalized'.

Let me show you the before and after pictures of my desktop.

Looks better, right?

I used to have my ThistleGirl calendar on my desktop. I never used it as a calendar. When I found this new idea...it was time to let it go.  I am using my Dr. Seuss desktop template right now.  I LOVE it. 

I asked a few friends to download them using their precious Macs (hear the envy?), and after including step by step tutorial, it is ready to go :)

I began a new list of ideas. I will be adding more templates to this collection. Let me know if you have any ideas to share.

Soooo... who wants to try them out?  Leave me a comment with a new idea, theme, or 'wish'. Comment with your idea and help me out by pinning it.  Don't forget your e-mail. I will pick two winners this weekend. 

*Thanks for the ideas ladies!  I will be uploading some more. I hope you are enjoying your new templates :)

Here's to organization!  Salud :)
