the libraryfox pages home art by foxy foxy mini me s my freebies sunday october 12 2014 life happens it seems i took an unplanned hiatus from blogging i mean if you read my blog you know i m a spaz anyway but i haven t blogged since march life happened i m still around i m still drawing clip art i m still a librarian but i just didn t feel like blogging or when i felt like it i didn t have time things have been a whirlwind since that last post you all know how the end of a school year is then summer was a blur of library inventory travel i went to chicago mobile new orleans and orange beach in that order i got back just in time for school to start me at a tiny dr seuss gallery i stumbled upon in new orleans i wish i could ve afforded something there were lots of originals we had a shindig for my meemaw s 93 birthday we sang we danced we stuffed our faces she laughed talked me into eating a hot pepper which i love usually that was hotter than the fires of h e double hockey stick almost literally rotfl at my red face me fanning my poor scalded mouth that very night she fell went into the hospital never came home again she was amazing at 93 she had more energy than i do at 36 i m not kidding she planted a garden every year she still drove she worked one day per week because she loved to get out of the house she was funny and frisky she sang like an angel before her voice began to crack with age guess who she s sticking her tongue out at i miss her very much and some days i just want to work on going through the pictures i ve inherited and write down stories before i forget them this has made it even harder to get motivated for everything else i m not depressed in fact i m not sure how i feel blessed perhaps i had her happy and healthy for 36 years i m so very grateful for that but there s a meemaw shaped hole in my life all of this has made me think about how very short life really is even 93 years isn t long enough do i want to spend every waking minute on things for school no people i love my job but it s still a job i feel awful about all of the chances i wasted all of the time i could have spent with her a lot of that time was spent working outside of the school on school related tasks some of the remainder was squandered on mental exhaustion you know what i mean by all means be a great educator just don t forget the ones you love and don t let it monopolize your time you may have seen less of me but you haven t seen the last of me i m still here trying to be the best at i can be at all aspects of life i don t enjoy mediocrity we all must find our balance foxy posted by crystal a k a foxy at 11 18 pm 86 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday february 9 2014 i love to read week valentine s day isn t exactly my favorite holiday it s not much fun when you re single but i m always trying to come up with ways to make it fun in the library we ve been out of school all week believe me i ve been using that time wisely working on our school yearbook and even a little painting and custom clip art work too with a few strategically placed naps in between we may even have more bad weather next week it doesn t take much to keep us out of school here in ky if we actually manage to be in school next week i have some fun plans and i really think these plans would be fun not just in the library but also in your classrooms give it a whirl plan 1 i want to cover the library tables with bulletin board paper i m going to allow students to write on the table about the book they love most hopefully others will read what they ve written and it will inspire them to try a new book fun huh since i only see students once per week i guess i ll try to leave it on there for as long as it will hold up yes i m still planning as i go lol plan 2 mystery date with a book i did this last year it s a little bit labor intensive for a time cramped librarian but the kids loved it and i got a few of them to try stuff they never would have picked out on their own i even have all the resources you need in my tpt store it was one of the very first things i ever posted even before i started making clip art i wrap up some of my favorite books especially older ones that don t get circulated much and put labels on the front telling the important information then if they actually finish the book and take the ar test they get a prize plan 3 i m not sure if i ll get to do this next week or not but in the past i ve had a book float parade see the pictures above students use a shoe box and decorate it like a tiny parade float to represent their favorite book we tie ropes to them blast the marching band music and drag them down the halls of our school while students who didn t make floats line the hallways to watch the parade go by the kiddos love it and so do i my float is always the same it s a don t let the pigeon drive the bus float my shoebox looks like the bus and my pigeon stuffed animal sits on top it really is my favorite book i mean can you think of any other read aloud that would allow you to throw a hissy fit you know we all want to sometimes some of our teachers are even planning to do some writing to tie in with it woo hoo i love it kids writing all about why they love their favorite book hopefully this post will inspire you to try something new in your classroom or library next week there s a perfect book out there for everyone our job is to help them find it and these activities should give kiddos lots of ideas about what to read next posted

using my ipad to blog i can t get this cute little sale button to work grrr please just click the word sale above i started my sale just a bit early so that you football fans like me don t have to miss any of the game or the commercials isn t that the best part those clydesdales get me every time so who ya rootin for my team s not playing i m a bears fan but i still have my favorite picked i m cheering for the broncos peyton deserves it after being kicked to the curb by his former team just my opinion don t hate lol don t like football i didn t either until i obtained two stepbrothers in my late twenties they forced me to start watching i love it now that i m starting to get it i knew nothing about football my high school didn t even have a team i guess we just weren t a big enough school for those of you who like my library lesson plans week 21 will hopefully be up tomorrow night wish me luck on getting those done sometimes i m sooooo lazy on the weekends posted by crystal a k a foxy at 4 58 pm 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest iditarod clip art it occurred to me as i sold one of these this morning that i had never shared my iditarod clip art set with you it is a set that is close to my heart since the huskies in the set are modeled after my huskies i would not recommend mushing with my two i m relatively sure they would run me right into a tree or something of course as i m lying there in pain they would probably be sweet enough to come back to lick my face they are sweethearts but a bit on the spastic side hmmm kind of like their mother me no wonder i have fallen in love with the most neurotic of dog breeds lol anyhoo here s a preview follow the link in the top left corner to see the rest of the set see it here

skipped the entire month of december i haven t posted any new clip art i just sort of checked out for a while i m a woooser aka loser but i needed it i get stressed out at christmas time it is my favorite holiday but it s a love hate relationship it s sort of depressing for us single folks and that s all i m going to say about that i had a wonderful christmas though and i hope you did too ugh i still have to take down my tree i really hate that part i get used to seeing it and then the house looks bare without it lol anyway in honor of me being such a lame o libraryfox i decided to put some of my clip art sets on sale and i even made a couple of things free hop over to my store to see what you can find there s even a new set of free fonts and i ve just added this set of sports uniforms these are blackline only so that your students can decorate them as they like i m no math teacher but i totally see some of these being used to let students decorate them with numbers then add and subtract each others numbers i m sure y all could come up with even better ideas than that click here to see them in my store i m not going to promise to be any better of a blogger in 2014 than i was in 2013 but thank you for making my first year of blogging a success posted by crystal a k a foxy at 10 37 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest
