Winter Library Tree

winter library tree 1I finished the winter library tree today. I love it, I think the snowflakes are a huge improvement over last year’s mittens. I used more of my stock of papers to make the snowflakes with a die cutter.

It’s great and wintry. Two of the 5th grade girls who are in our after school care program made the snow on the ground for me before Thanksgiving. During parent/teacher conferences week, when the kids had half days, they were at school for an extra long time. So I let them come into the library and go nuts with the glitter, and they made me enough snow for the library tree and the front library display.

I also finished all the December library displays, but that’s for another post.

Now it’s on to more party prep and holiday planning. I’m waiting for the dough to rise on some homemade soft pretzel bites I’m making.

    I am worried about your headaches; have you dealt with the hormonal part which used to drive me cray right thru menopause and now they are nearly gone? What are you taking for them? Ice helps but you can’t do that in school and I always found a real coke and 4 advil kept things at bay. Puking helps too, but who wants to?

    I’m still on a really high dose of prednisone from the headaches last week, and it’s been having wacky side effects. I’m going back to the doctor after school tomorrow to get checked out, I’ve had trouble sleeping and all kinds of muscle problems. So I don’t know if the headaches I’ve had are connected to that or something else. Hopefully she’ll tell me tomorrow.
