Holiday presents – speaking of holiday presents I wanted to let you know that I never expect any gifts from anyone, but everyone is always very generous around the holidays. I need to let you know I have lost 35 lbs since April and I am working hard to keep it off and lose some more so please do not send any food or candy gifts this year. I also have very sensitive skin and can’t use regular soaps and lotions. I love to get things for the classroom like office supplies (sheet protectors, card stock, markers, paper) or things for the students like prizes for the prize box or contests, Legos, educational games, science activities, or magnets. I also enjoy gift cards to Amazon, Target, Kroger or any gas station. Thanks for your understanding! Again I’m not expecting anything.
