Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of the Corner News! We have some very exciting news to present from this week!

Beware, this may be slightly gruesome…sorry.

I was at work (I work at a pet boarding facility) and took out a dog to play in a one on one session. This dog was very mouthy, and tried to bite my arms constantly. I got very annoyed, and tried to get the dog to lay down to calm down. Unfortunately, the dog kept going for my arms and chewed them up.

And this was the result.

My arms are pretty beat up. I am very bruised and it hurts to do certain things: like carry a purse on my arm instead of my shoulder, sleep (because I sleep on my sides and like to have my arm under a pillow), and cross my arms. My legs got a little damage, but nothing like my arms.

And the dog? All workers were informed to be aware and be careful when taking him out.

Moral of the story: Be Careful !

Welcome back to Corner News! This is the time we share some random pictures and news that has taken place over the last couple of weeks!

I created this a couple of days ago. You can see everything looks pretty bare around it. We have had a lot of wind lately and I hate to put too much out because it will get blown away or full of leaves and sticks! My neighbor gave me the ladder and I already had all the buckets, so I just tied them on with strips of burlap. I hope to fill them with something pretty very soon!

Haley and I took Rozy to the vet this past week and we passed these sheep. There was actually a whole herd of them, but these were closest to the road. Rozy wasn’t too sure about these things. Her eyes were huge, she was shaking and the fur on her back was standing up! It was pretty funny! I’m not sure what she thought the sheep were going to do? We see small herds of sheep around our parts when they are brought out to do some grazing.

I also attended a workshop for a group of preschool teachers in our area. It is called C.A.R.E.S.-Comprehensive Approaches to Raising Educational Standards. Whew! That’s quite a title! I have been part of this for quite a few years. This workshop focused on math and I was able to get all of this stuff for free! It’s a great way to add to the classroom!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Hello! And welcome to another edition of the Corner News. I hope you all liked the video yesterday, because I worked very hard on it. Anyways, onto the actual blog post.

First thing on the agenda, some new fashion things!

I bought these three shirts, which are all identical, from Old Navy for $5 a piece. They are extremely comfortable and nice to wear with anything. I have worn them with shorts, capris, scarves, jewelry, or no accessories. If I could wear them everyday, I probably would.

Second, a new piece of reading material.

I love Jodie Picoult books. They always keep me on my toes and make me want to keep reading. My coworker is letting me borrow her book so that I can keep reading. This is Picoult’s newest book and I can’t wait to get started on it.

So, that’s what has happened this week. I hope that you enjoyed this edition of the Corner News and we will see you next Monday!

Hello! And welcome to another edition of the Corner News. It is getting close to the end of spring break (can it last another two months?) and the weather is changing.

Since Easter is tomorrow, I am sharing what I am wearing. I purchased this coral Forever 21 dress back in November from the clearance rack. I love the accents on the straps and that there are pockets. I can’t wait to actually wear it for an occasion and not have it just sit in my closet.

Second thing on the docket: since Zoella has turned into mom’s dog (boo hoo), I have adopted another dog. I had my eye on my dog, Karli, since she entered the shelter back in October of 2014. I thought that she would be adopted right away, but she sat at VAH until February of 2016, when I adopted her. I take her to work everyday and have a lot of fun living with her. She is such a goof and can be a brat, but I love her all the same.

Here is Karli, wearing bunny ears and a boa for the Easter pictures at work. Doesn’t she look adorable?

And, I also found the cutest dog bed for her. Not only is it better than the bed that I made for her (which was two pillows that I sewed a pillowcase around) and it even matches my room. Karli enjoys the new bed much more that the original bed.

Well, that is it. This has been another edition of the Corner News. I hope you enjoyed it and I can’t wait to see you next week!

Happy Saturday! We are starting our spring break here and I have the next week off! Yeah!! I am hoping to get a few projects done to share with you all! We’ll see how it goes!

Do you remember Zoella? Her nickname is Munch, because she is such a Munchkin! She was adopted by Lauren, but she had to stay at our house for awhile. Wweelll, we became attached, and Rozy became her best friend, so now she is mine. I love this little girl!! Zoella’s baby picture is here and Rozy is here.

I added this box shelf to my craft room wall. Steve had put this together a long time ago and I had it outside. But now I repainted the outside white and gold on the inside. I added some fun little accessories.

I found the adorable puppy picture on clearance at Hobby Lobby. There was no way I would pass this one up!! I added glitter to a wooden ‘S’ for another project and then changed my mind, so now it resides here. I just picked up the little bicycle plate from Goodwill, but it originally came from Target and the jar is part of my button collection.
