mycutegraphics.com Welcome to my first linky party! Please submit a link to your favorite blog post. There is a wealth of information out there. I would love for everyone to share their best work/ideas in one place. Please link up to make this a valuable resource to reference. On a side note, I sell on eBay and promote other sellers. If interested check out my eBay Store: Lowery's Loft . My username on eBay is GroovyEducator (just like this blog).

This is when the children can choose one thing they want to share about after being away for the weekend. It takes about fifteen minutes but it saves so much time later in the day.

Okay...perhaps it is because I am still sick with this flu/cold/sinus/thing-a-ma-bob OR perhaps it's because I am enjoying My First Linky Party so much that I am starting another one !
