Holy cow what a week I had...
I am sooooo sooooo glad I was off this week... more about that in the CURRENTLY...
Now let me introduce you to our sponsor...
The FABULOUS STACY
she is the fabulous Georgia Peach behind the ever so clever blog....
as always with CURRENTLY sponsors... they are asked to feature 3 things...
why 3...
because that is my favorite number...
good reason right???
alrighty mc muffin... it is time for Stacy's picks...
NUMBER ONE...
I love it... it is WONDERFUL... can you tell I {puffy} heart LOVE it... here is what Stacy has to say about it....
1) My 8 Famous African Americans pack... perfect for anytime really but super helpful in February for Black History Month. For each historical figure, you will find 1 graphic organizer, 1 page in the coloring book, a reading passage, comprehension questions AND a mini-foldable book that only needs 1 piece of paper! http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/8-Famous-African-Americans-Unit-515208
NUMBER TWO
HOLY COW this is so stinkin cute...
look at those reindeer faces...
CAH_UTE
I do-NOT own this one... but believe me it is on my wishlist for the BIG sale tomorrow!!!
here is what the Stacy says about this....
2) Rudolph's Crazy Cousin Craftivity... this combines a craft with creative writing. "Rudolph's crazy cousin wants to help Santa. Do you think Santa should let him help out? Why or why not?"
NUMBER THREE
so sweet just like a PEACH...
Stacy's number three was to just provide a link for her blog or store...

thanks so much for sponsoring the December Currently!!!
***************************************
and now for what you have been waiting on...
THE CURRENTLY winner...
I opened up a contest to mail me your template design for December's CURRENTLY...
my mama was the judge...
so the entries were mailed to me and then I forwarded them to Mama ...
she was so cute...
she set up her own little folder to store all the entries in...
Mama was stuck between two...
and it all came down to the last minute...
she knew if there was a tie
my co-workers were gonna get to pick...
being the fair and creative person she is...
and probably not wanting my co-workers to pick the winner
she decided that there would be 2 winners....
one for DECEMBER and ONE for January...
and what Mama says GOES....
so here is the December winner...
and you will have to wait for the January one...
most of my stuff is self explanatory...
BUT the eggnog thing...
well my Grandpa makes homemade eggnog...
it is STRONG STUFF..
I mean the liquor has to be poured into the mix so SLOOOOOOOOWWWWWW
as to not COOK the eggs...
WHAT!!!!
most times I DON'T drink it...
but I like the tradition of all of my fam
standing around the mixing bowl... watching and helping making the NOG...
NOG you off your ARse...is what it is...
the fun begins after the Eggnog is served...
ha ha ha...
here are my grandparents with BUB
on Turkey Day...
he always wants to do a silly pic...
and of course they did it... they love BUB
and this is a NON NOG pic... so imagine the Christmas Funny Face Pic... with NOG...
can't wait
I LOVE THEM!!!
oh one more thing...
Bub has been sleeping in his bed...
YAY...
if you know me...
you know this is HUGe...
let's just say he has been with us since he was tiny...
DON'T JUDGE...
it was a win win situation and I have a HUGE BED...
are you judging???
well anyways...
he got a new bed and a new room...
so he was super excited and now he is sleeping in his own room and bed...
I think this is harder on me and hubs more than BUBS...
it makes it a little easier to know that Rita sleeps in there with him...
and that blanket is a blanket his Nana made before she passed away last Jan.
... and as a matter of fact...
Rita was Nana's too...
OK now your turn...
BUT the eggnog thing...

Awww he is growing so fast. Rita is so pretty! I don't remember seeing pics of her! Am I blind? I'm especially digging the skull bandana. Very cool. I miss you BUNNNNCCCHHHEEEESSSSSS Give lots of hugs to my long lost friends. I hope my lil princesses you got in your class this year are behaving themselves! If I ever climb out from under this pile of paperwork, I hope to come visit everyone.
ReplyDeleteLove this month's Currently template! Your mom made a great choice. Looking forward to seeing January's!

ReplyDeleteI'd like to thank you for hosting a great linky party. I have found so many wonderful blogs thanks to Currently. It's funny how something so little, can be so fun & rewarding. :)
Merry Christmas!
The 1st of the month seems to fly by without me even noticing that it's time to make a CURRENTLY post. Luckily, December 1st falls on the weekend and a holiday weekend at that, so more time for blogging and pinning! I'm so glad that you help connect us with this monthly linky party!
ReplyDeleteAlso, how cute is your son in his Buzz Lightyear pj's?
Best Wishes on a Wonderful Week!
:) Antonia @ forkin4th
It is a pleasure and a privilege to participate in my first CURRENTLY linky! I am proud to be participant #155!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't read your blog before tonight, but I'll be back! I LOVE your style and am sending high fives to your big guy sleeping in his big boy bed! My son, who is 23 now, used to have the same Buzz Lightyear pajamas! Cherish this precious time with him!

ReplyDeleteButterflying Through Teaching
I'm about to do my Currently. Have to tell you that I look forward to it each month. I hope you never stop!!!! And, about the judging of the family bed...we had our daughter in family bed until she was around 6 and (don't judge me) she still often crawled in with me (hubs would be kicked out by her little feet kicking him!) in the middle of the night until she was 10!!!!! Happy to say that she is now a very well adjusted, capable, awesome 17 year old who just got accepted to university! So, if anyone ever tries to judge you on family bed just say "pshaw" to them and keep doing what has worked for your family. That said, I love, love, love the quilt on your little guys bed. Reminds me of one I made my daughter out of my dad's old shirts after he passed away. Anywho, happy holidays!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the grandma and grandpa silly picture!

Thanks so much for another awesome Currently. Your mom did a good job picking out a winner, can't wait to see what she picked for January as well!
ReplyDeleteAwww, great blog this month. And I do like the Currently filled out....totally works. LOVE IT! Now, my folks doing that "crazy" picture cracked me up too...will you put a pic of ALL of us when the rest of the family comes in for a quick holiday visit? Our silly pic could be CrAzY! SHHHHHHH, don't give away the family secret of homemade egg nog. LOL That is a family tradition that has been going on since I was a little girl....brings back happy memories of my grandparents. YAY for my sweet Bub and his big boy bed and YAY to my sweet Rita for guarding him through the night.
ReplyDeleteAND WHO IS THAT PUTTING A MICHAEL KORS LINK ON HERE? REALLY? smh
