Shotbox

One of the plans that I have for the upcoming school year is to share more photos of my products in use. I typically post pictures on Instagram or my other social media, but I’d like for you, my readers, to be able to view them as well.

One of the ways that I plan on doing this is by using my Shotbox.  Shotbox is a photo light box. It makes taking images of printables and other things so easy!! You can click the ad below to check out the Shotbox and what it does. I might also add that they have some new features coming soon and I’m pretty excited about it!!

Here’s a couple photos that I took with mine, with no prep what-so-ever.  I was just playing around and didn’t really set things up for a professional look.  You’ll notice that I only used the blue background, but I got a set with other background colors included in it.

This is a model that my hubby built….

Here’s an item in my store, Snowball Fight Kindergarten (Primer) Sight Words.  This is a spelling mat and worksheet pack for the winter, but summer is a great time to cool down using it too!!  Here’s the photos of it….

The Shotbox can be used with a standard camera, tablet, or cell phone.  You can also adjust the amount of light.  I just played with it and had a fun, so I can’t wait to do more and really put a little time and effort into using it!!

Be sure to check out the SHOTBOX for your photo light box needs and have some fun too!!

A Celebration for a Friend

I “met” this lovely lady in the TPT forums when she was in need of some help. We hit it off and although we don’t talk often or see each other in person, she’s someone that I enjoy and look forward to “seeing” online. Well, she’s hit a personal milestone in her TPT store and I’d like you all to help me celebrate with her!!

Hello to My New World!

It was time for change and improvements, so here it is!!  This is my new blog and this is where you can find me from now on.  You’ll find everything that you used to find at The Schoolhouse, but now it’s here and it’s called The Treasured Schoolhouse.  

The main upgrade or change was that I’m no hosting on my own domain.  No more down time or other issues!!  I didn’t even change the design of the blog so that everyone can still recognize it.  Besides, I like the simple design.

I don’t have a blog button yet, but it’s being made for me now.  It’ll be here soon!!  I’m excited about all the changes and the possible growth.  

I hope that you enjoy the changes as well and like what you see.  Thanks for visiting!!

Favorite Things: February

This month’s Favorite Things is all about the grade that you teach. I teach 4 & 5 year olds, which is usually PreK – Kindergarten. They’re the ones that nobody really wanted, but I do so love them!!

Here’s my Favorite Things about my littles….

FavoriteThings Feb16 - TheSchoolhouse I really wouldn’t trade my littles for anything!! They’re quite the crew each year and they keep me on my toes. I just love it when they come back and I get to see the changes in them. I do love being their first experience with many things!!

New Year’s Resolutions

I’m excited to join in this link up….

New Year's Resolutions Banner

I don’t typically make resolutions.  I just don’t do it and for the most part, I don’t follow through.  I’m pretty good at setting goals though and working toward them.  So, when I saw this linky, I was looking forward to joining up because I know these are a few of the things that I know I need to work on.  My favorite saying and what keeps me striving for more and knowing that making mistakes is alright (and I hope that those around me “get it”)….

Work in Progress 10

With that said, here’s my “resolutions” for 2016….

I hope that you all have a very Happy and Blessed New Year and that your “work in progress” continues to grow and learn….and you thrive in 2016!!

Favorite Things: December

Here’s just….

FavoriteThings-Dec15

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love nativities!! I have them in sizes from small to large. I don’t have any giant ones though!! Some of my small ones are just the holy family. Some of my big ones have several shepherds, the wise men, and the drummer boy. I love all of them. This is my favorite one….

Fave Nativity byTheSchoolhouse

One reason that I love this one is that it’s like a children’s play. Another reason is the quality of the pieces. Can you believe that the stable isn’t actually part of the set?? HAHA It’s a piece that I got someplace else and thought they worked together perfectly. What really sets this nativity though is what it sits on. It’s actually a tree skirt, but not just any tree skirt. My mom made it. She didn’t just make it, but she won 1st PLACE in a contest with it. I’m so proud of her and I’m honored that she entrusted such a beautiful made-with-love project to me. It’s the perfect addition to this nativity!!
