I know that as a teacher I love getting little gifts from my students. Teacher’s appreciation week is in the first part of May. It is different in different districts, so call the school office to find the best date. Find these cute magnets in my Etsy shop.

Rufus is my dog. I had fifty cents to by some DMC 702 (Leaf Green embroidery floss) and when I walked out of the door he stared and me with a longing in his eyes. I’ve never taken him anywhere without a carrier, and I’ve never taken him anywhere in the station wagon. [...]

First I’ll explain briefly what a BnR is. It is a list on the Etsy forums where you buy from an Etsy seller, and get your name on the list. When someone buys from you, you get kicked off. There are, of course, many variations on the game.

Plaidfuzz did such a good job restating the questions I asked, that I am going to leave them out and let you just enjoy her writing.
