Teaching so students will want to learn



To Students,

You forfeit your chance for life at its fullest when you withhold your best effort in learning. When you give only the minimum to learning, you receive only the minimum in return. Even with your parents' best example and your teachers' best efforts, in the end it is your  work that determines how much and how well you learn. When you work to your full capacity, you can hope to attain the knowledge and skills that will enable you to create your future and control your destiny. If you do not, you will have your future thrust upon you by others. Take hold of your life, apply your gifts and talents, work with dedication and self-discipline. Have high expectations for yourself and convert every challenge into an opportunity.

Fifty Shades of Grey

You know.. the book no one will admit to be reading.  Well I am on the 3rd book of the trilogy and enjoying every moment. In recognition of the book, I have added this lovely pillowcase to my etsy shop. It may be my one and only.

It is that time of year, yeah!


Summer is quickly approaching. Time to spruce up your outdoor living areas.  I have some wonderful new outdoor fabric which is very low maintenance.  If you do a google search for indoor/outdoor fabric and see some you would like made into pillow, placemats, runners, etc. just let me know.  You can email me at lppare@snet.net or visit my various selling venues online. Go to lindapare.com to see where you can find my items.
