Little Things

Back at the beginning of August I got to order $100 worth of free classroom supplies for being a first year teacher. I bought a couple of practical things that I would never want to spend my own money on and I filled in the remainder with office supplies.

I LOVE office supplies. Have I mentioned that before?

After that I forgot all about my free stuff. Until yesterday, when the office called me and told me I had three boxes of things!

YAY!! I can't use most of it until next year now. But YAY!

I opened up one of the boxes and found all kinds of post-it notes and a pop-up holder. It was a sight for sore eyes. I can't tell you how obsessed with post-its that I am.

How beautiful are they?! My early August self really knew how to give my November self a pick-me-up.

Still not quite as cool as these:

But that's okay because I save those for very special occasions. They're too beautiful to write on. I have a little collection of the ones that I have actually written on stuck to my desk. They are all old but I can't bring myself to throw them away. :(

Back to my goodies from yesterday. Know what else I found in my little box?

That's right, these puppies:

These are the most durable, beautiful cap erasers that I think I have ever seen. I had no idea that I had ordered 500 of these back in August. The cheap ones that I bought at Target a few weeks ago are almost hideous to me now. Perhaps I will just put all of the junky ones on my student pencils. I don't even care if they get stolen or broken anymore!

Oh, how far I have come.

But THESE beautiful babies... just look at them!

I won't be donating sharing these with the kiddos. I just might keep them in my drawer forever. Cap eraser love.




P.S. I'm so disappointed in myself for using my camera phone again. But it's just so much more simple. I wonder if there is such thing as a real camera that lets you email the pictures to yourself directly from the camera. I hate plugging my camera into my computer to upload pictures. Sarah, are you out there? Does that exist?
