Books can be an awesome tool for addressing certain classroom behaviors. Here are some fun readalouds for every behavior from tattling to lying to picking your nose – check out this fun list! I provided the links for you to see them directly on Amazon if you want to check them out – some links are affiliate links which means I get commission if you buy from the links, it’s no extra cost for you but I just wanted to let you know! TATTLING Tattling can be a huge issue in elementary school. These books are wonderful for teaching students tattling vs. reporting to cut down on the silly, “He keeps looking at me!” type tattles. A Bad Case of Tattle Tongue is a favorite of mine for teaching kids not to tattle. Josh tattles so much that he wakes up with a tattle tongue! It’s a great book for lessons on when it’s important to tell to help others vs. tell to get others in trouble. I also love Don’t Squeal Unless It’s a Big Deal: A Tale of Tattletales for teaching students the correct way to handle solutions with their peers before tattling. …

It can be hard trying to figure out what to buy friends and family as wedding gifts. You want to show them that you care, but you also don’t want to break the bank, and there are some pitfalls to avoid too. Some people end up getting eight toasters as wedding gifts as they haven’t organized a list that people can buy things from.It’s not that the bride and groom are ungrateful, it’s just that they really don’t need eight toasters in their lives. Some wedding guests have a dilemma as they don’t want to insult their hosts, but the price of a gift can often be too much. While some brides and grooms don’t ask for any gifts because of this, others can accept that people haven’t spent their lives saving for someone else’s wedding.Others are very demanding over their wedding presents and only expect the best. This bride was very happy with her wedding, but she was shocked when one of her guests asked for their gift back months after the ceremony.

Golden Tears by Gustav Klimt, also reffered to as Golden Tears, art deco era, Goddess of sex & love. 11x14" Cotton Canvas Print, 1900 art print, Heartbroken woman, tears of gold, art deco art print Freya, of Norse mythology was is a goddess associated with love, sex, beauty, fertility, gold, seiðr, war, and death. NOTE: Our watermark will not appear on your print Free ship US You frame it! This art print was taken from a vintage painting, print, postcard or digital source. It is in the public domain in the US because the copyrights (if any) have expired. NOTE: Our prints are taken from an antique/vintage paintings, greeting cards, post cards etc.. Much of the time, these were originally printed on a soft and porous paper, which softened the images. They didn't have the technology back then to photo-shop and fix these images. That is why I chose to reproduce only antique art in it's original content (no photo-shop). I love the old school art. These are also paintings and drawings, and so the styles vary. The papers we use today, have special coatings so that they attract the inks or dyes well, and stop much of the seeping of the inks. Our new technologies print exactly what is on the scan of the original image. If you purchase canvas, it is made of cotton, and even though it also has this special coating, it is textured, and softens the look of the final result. It is archival, and of the highest quality, but is best for paintings since they were mostly created on artist canvas. It is important to note that if you are buying on your phone or tablet, the images you see are only tiny thumbnails, and so you can't really see the detail in the scan on the listing. If you can look on a computer, you can then see the depth and detail of the image you want. Artwork is not created equal, and sometimes there are clear and distinct lines, and other times the style is less detailed. Lastly, Colors will vary slightly, due to the difference in your monitor settings. Please zoom in on the image to see the detail. All quoted shipping costs are USA only. Buyers are responsible for all Vat and import taxes in their country. I will ship to your country, via first class intl. USPS, but please contact me for a quote before you buy. All art prints are custom designed to fit into a standard, modern frame. The openings on these frames are smaller than the listed size. Your print will be slightly larger than the opening. You can carefully trim it to fit your frame, and pop it in, with or without a mat. Each print is made as it is ordered. Please convo me if you need a specific size. I use real cotton artist's canvas, and the newest technology to enlarge the images, pixel x pixel. There is no stretching or skewing, Cotton canvas is textured in tiny squares, and produces a soft finish like a painting. Since it is fabric, it grabs the color for an extraordinary presentation. I use archival canvas, and special dyes to print each image. They will last 100 years under normal circumstances. Your monitor settings will vary from mine, so colors may look different to you than they really are. Color match technology produces exact colors to the image file used. Satin canvas is also textured, but it not as dense. It has a semi-gloss light and moisture proof finish. It is great for posters, too. NO stretching or mounting is needed. No need for expensive, custom framing. I use special, secure packing materials, to insure that your item arrives safely. I have been collecting and selling art prints for many years. I may have just what you are searching for. Just ask, and I will create a special listing, just for you. Thank you for your interest.

A few weeks ago I shared my favorite tarot and oracle card decks. My collection has significantly grown over the last year or so but my purchasing of decks as slowed in the recent months. I credit this to getting to know the decks I have. Now, I'm not going to discourage you from buying all the decks (because it can be fun to collect and learn from different decks) but I want you to connect with the decks you have and find where new decks can fit into your journey. this post contains affiliate links, please read my full disclosure here. I use tarot, oracle, and affirmation cards for personal growth and development. My persona belief is that these cards don't tell me the future. These cards reveal to me things I may not consciously know or things that I know...but have chosen to ignore. Those that are able to use the cards to tell the future have a gift I do not and the cards are mere tools for their gift. But this belief in revealing subtleties is why I think everyone and anyone can benefit from using tarot & oracle cards. It can be difficult to figure out how to use these decks just by themselves let alone pair these decks together. Here are the three ways I suggest to start using multiple decks and card styles into one reading: Pair Cards in the Same Position When you're doing a certain spread, use two cards one position to get a more expanded yet direct message. I find this most successful when I designate one of the pairs as the first or main card in that position. For me this main card is often a tarot card. So during the reading, I'll place down the tarot cards first in the spaces I've designated as for tarot cards. Then I'll choose my oracle deck, shuffle, and place the oracle cards on to the tarot cards in the positions I've chosen to be expanded. Getting to know the decks you're using can help in this, too. Pairing an oracle card with a tarot card on the same space can often explain or build on the message of the first card so when you know the energy of different decks you'll get the most from this pairing. Often I'll use multiple decks (3 at max) because I know what each will give me in a reading especially when I'm putting them in a specific space. Create Specific Spreads When you know you're cards & your decks you can begin to work with them in a way that really works with you. We form a certain relationship with our cards and I truly feel the universe will deliver what you need, in the way you need, if you just ask! So, work with your cards. If you know certain cards work great to form mantras, use those cards in a spread or specific position that deals with mantras. In the weekly spread I usually do, I choose a card from the Sprit de la Lune deck as well as a card from the Sacred Soul Searching deck and a tarot card for the position of weekly theme. I sort of created this spread around using those three cards because I find the most complete message comes from pairing these cards together. When I do the Midweek Mantra spreads on the Connected Chakras Instagram, I also intentionally created a pairing between the Connected Chakras deck and the Pagan Cats Tarot. I find that this mini tarot deck is very playful due to the cat imagery but offers a good compliment to the Chakras deck. When you intentionally and repeatedly assign certain spreads as designated for affirmation cards or oracle cards, you'll find a better connection to your messages. Choose a Significator This is one thing that really like to do when I'm attempting to work with a certain energy. Choose a tarot, oracle, or affirmation card as the main theme of your reading. For example - the Strength card. So then you can pull and pair cards on how to embody the strength card. Perhaps you can ask "What mantra will help me embody the energy of this card?" Then pull a card or cards that you know usually create wonderful mantras for you. For me, I may choose to pull a card from the Connected Chakras deck & the Soul Searching Deck. These always pair well for me. Again, knowing your cards and the messages they give can help you out here. After working with my favorite decks and really connecting to them, I know which cards deliver the best messages when paired. You'll find these great pairings by repeatedly using your cards. Some decks may offer great messages on their own, some decks pair well because of their imagery, some decks might work well because they are both action oriented...the possibilities are endless. You can also get to know your decks through a Get to Know Your Deck spread and keep note of what that deck will most likely tell you.

Why you should switch to family cloth! Family cloth gives a slightly gross mental image. Most people hear it and think it's one cloth that is shared by the whole family. Ummm... no. Thankfully that is not what family cloth is! Family Cloth. What is it? Have you heard of this? If you haven't heard of family cloth before, don't worry. Not many have.

(Note: try not to get escorted from an auction in police custody, like Roger Thornhill) I could have entitled this post ‘Everything You Wanted to Know about Auctions, But Were too Afraid to Raise Your Hand and Ask Because You Were Scared You Might Actually Bid on Something You Didn't Want” because, really, isn't that everyone’s fear with auctions? Today, I thought it would be fun to share tips for a successful, stress-free auction experience and I’m not talking Ebay auctions; I mean the bidding-in-person-with-a-numbered-paddle-kind of auction. Since I was a child, I've been attending auctions and during that time I've gleaned a lot of knowledge that’s worth sharing, especially for those who want a good deal on antiques or first access to pieces without paying the retail markup. And remember, auctions aren't meant just for millionaires. We've all heard of Sotheby's or Christie's, but auctions can be a great venue for finding affordable treasures; after all, at auctions, the bidders name the price. I've walked away with furniture for $20, $10 and even $5! With that, let’s get into it. Finding Auctions in Your Area We can’t talk about auctions before mentioning where you can find listings upcoming auctions in your area. A good place to start is with AuctionZip.com, where you can search auction companies within a specified state or a certain distance from your ZIP code. When all else fails, I've regularly found postings for auctions on Craigslist and in the newspaper, too. The Preview, or How to Know What Crap You’re Going to Get in a Bidding War Over Later The first useful piece of information to know is that the auction house running the sale holds a “preview” to show off the goods that will be up for bid, typically a few hours or a day in advance of the sale. At that time, you’ll find that every item or lot (we’ll talk about lots shortly) is numbered; when you see something you want to bid on later, write that number down and determine how much you’d be willing to pay for it. Later, the auctioneer will identify each item to the crowd with this item number once it is up for bid. The preview allows you to inspect everything in advance so you know what you’re getting. Remember, all sales are final at auctions. Auctioneers may also be available during the preview in case you have specific questions about value or potential prices of an item. I can’t encourage you enough to attend the preview! How else would you know what you’re bidding on? Before You Go Crazy Bidding: Registering and Sales Terms If you see things worth bidding on, you’ll need to register to participate in the auction if this is your first time attending. Registration is free. You’ll need to provide your driver’s license to the auction office where you will be entered into their system for future auctions. At that point, you’ll be given a bidder’s number to use during the auction. Once registered, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the sales terms, which vary from auction house to auction house. Profits for the auction company come, in part, from a “buyer’s premium” fee, which is a percentage added onto the final bid price. I’ve seen buyer’s premiums range from 15% - 18%, so keep this additional cost in mind when you’re bidding! Most auction houses accept credit cards, checks (if you’ve been to that auction before) or cash, where they may offer a slight discount. And, don’t forget, you will also have to pay taxes on any items purchased. Lots and Lots of Lots Similar, smaller items are often put together for sale in what’s called a “lot”. Grouping these items makes for an efficient sale for the auction company. During the preview, you’ll see lots of dishes, tchotchkes, or silverware displayed together in boxes (usually called “boxed lots”). Since you can closely examine everything during the preview, dig into these boxes and see what’s in each. Who knows, you may find a diamond in the rough! Here's another good idea with lots: if you were outbid on a lot containing one or two things you'd like (rather than the entire lot), it's not unreasonable to approach the winning bidder with an offer for the items you wanted. Remember, be polite and respectful with your offer and you may walk away with something you had your eye on! This is a tactic I've seen work many times, so it's always worth a shot. In Absentia: Reserves and Bids Sometimes, an item up for sale at an auction that has a price set by the seller or auction house, called a “reserve”. If bidding does not meet the set price, the item is not sold. The auctioneer will let the crowd know if the item has a reserve at the start of the bidding. You may also encounter bids left from people who aren't actually in attendance at the auction. Oftentimes bids will be left from those who attended the preview but couldn't make the auction or from those who phoned their bids in. What You've Come For: Let’s Get Down to Bidding! You've previewed the items, you've registered, and you've studied the sales terms; now you’re ready to bid, right? Above all else, it’s important to remember to keep your cool. Resist the urge to over-bid! Stick to the price you set for yourself during the preview, unless it’s a piece you absolutely can’t live without. Before the auction starts, get yourself a good seat. Get comfortable. Often, auctions can last for several hours. While you’re waiting for the items you want to come up for bidding, enjoy people-watching. People-watching at auctions is the best. It’s always interesting to figure out who in the crowd is a dealer or who is just a hoarder! When something you want comes up for bidding, have your bidder’s number in hand and be prepared to bid. Auctioneers may start at a high price, for example $100, but without any immediate bids will lower the price to, say, $10. Wait until the auctioneer lowers the price, then bid. Auctioneers will nod or point to you to acknowledge your bid. He/she will speak very fast, so listen closely! To bid, there’s no need to flail your bidder’s number wildly. Be calm, cool and composed. If you’re the highest bidder, the auctioneer will reiterate your bidder’s number and you will be recorded as the winner on the item’s tag. The auction’s office will keep tally of all the items you won and will have the associated costs ready when you are ready to pay. While you’re watching the events of the auction, you may notice that not every item is bid on. When an item fails to sell, an auction house will just incorporate into their next sale--perhaps next time the right person will attend the auction and take it home! Finally, at the end of the auction you will usually be asked to take all of your purchases with you, but if you need to make special transportation arrangements you can speak with one of the auction’s office employees. And Now You Know... And there you have it, my tips for a successful auction experience! Hopefully, I've eased your irrational fear of scratching your nose at an auction and accidentally winding up the highest bidder on an expensive piece! Did I answer all of your questions about the auction process? If not, what else would you like to know? Do think you'll attend auctions now that you have more info about the experience?
