Too many things for one title to hold BUT I do need some suggestions!!

OK I have SO Many things to blog about today that I just couldn't fit it all in to just one title. I hope I can fit it all into one post LOL!

First off I was so surprised and so touched that Lisa, over at Teaching Kindergarten Kiddos gave me an award!!! She gave me the One Lovely Blog Award! Isn't it pretty????

I was super honored to get this and now I get to pass it along!
Once you get your award there are 3 rules to follow:
1. Follow the person you get your award from
2. Link back to the person who gave you the award
3 Pass the award on to 15 new bloggers (I am not sure how "new" they are so I hope its OK)
So here are my 15 Bloggers that I want to share this award with (I had to be really careful because I want to give it to EVERYONE!!)

Finally, this novel post is almost finished! I just need some suggestions. At my old school - every time I say that, I feel like I sound like Phoebe from the Magic School Bus videos LOL - anyway, at my old school we had organizational binders and since our mascot was a dragon we called them DRAGON books. I am sure DRAGON was an acronym for something but I long ago forgot what, anyway at my new school they also use an organizational binder but they don't call it anything but "your binder" B-O-R-I-N-G!!!!!! The one teacher on my team that I have been directed to for questions told me that some of the teachers make a cute cover and maybe put their name on it. She said last year she had Ms. {name}'s Shining Stars and had a picture of a star on it. So I thought I could get creative and come up with my own little thing that could go with my theme - who am I kidding, I have no theme,  its just primary colors so really I could use anything! I want something cute for their binder "name" and I am just drawing a blank. My new mascot is an Eagle but I am not sure I want to call it an Eagle Book, besides I can't find any cute graphics/clip art of eagles. I thought, since they are the "babies" of the school I could do something like Mrs. Foreman's ????? Eaglets but I don't know what!! And again - can't find any cute clip art/graphics of eaglets either. I have also thought about the old standby The BEE (Bring Everything Everyday) Book but I'm not sure I want to go that route either! SO I am coming to all my bloggy buddies on my knees begging for ideas! Please help me to end this creative drought I seem to have going on in my head right now!!!  (Can't wait to read all your great ideas!) Now I am off to eat some caramel popcorn and watch The Bachelorette (Don't as me why I have no clue what draws me into this show)
