My favorite teacher NOW is a dear friend who has taught kindergarten children for 30 years and loves it as much now as when she started. She is Ellen DisBennett. And she's also a "crazy cat lady" with 5 furry friends. As a child, I adored my third grade teacher, Grace Smith, and can still recall many of the things learned in her class.

So many cute pendants!
I was so lucky to win one of your prints so please don't include me in your draw so that someone else can win ~ but I did want to tell you about my favourite teacher.
She was actually my son's grade 4 teacher, Mrs. Lake. In Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 2 and Grade 3 my son's teachers always said "he talks too much'. Mrs. Lake did not make the same comment in our first parent teacher conference. I asked her "Does Kurtis talk too much or have trouble settling down?" She said, "No, I let him say what he wants to say and then he buckles down and gets his work done."
Thank you Mrs. Lake for being the first teacher to actually just listen to what a young person has to say instead of giving them heck for talking 'too much'!
Have a terrific week Susan Faye!

Each week the mobile library comes to my neighborhood. My favorite librarian is Herr Schulz who is so very patient to order English books for me all the time. :)
Happy reading,

My friend Sue Tabor is a grammar school teacher in the Sacramento area, loves cats, and does TNR during her spare time. She has helped save literally thousands of cats, both feral and domestic. I would LOVE to win a gift for her. She would be thrilled.
My favorite teacher was Mr. Baddour, 8th grade English. He's the one who got me into writing, the first person who ever told me I had any writing talent. I think of him often, and recently sent him a letter to let him know what he meant to me all those years ago...over 25 now...sheesh. It's never too late to tell someone how you feel.
Also, have to say I almost cried when I saw the pendant with the black and white cat, the redhead with the braid. Kinda reminds me of my Yahoo, who loved to sit on my shoulder. I lost the little fella this past March, and I will never get over it. If I don't win one of these, I will definitely be aiming the hubs to your site so he knows where to get my Christmas present.

I have to say my favorite all time librarian is my former boss Anne Morris. She just retired last year after having worked for 44 years at the Toledo Museum of Art library. And my favorite teacher is my third grade teacher Mr. Greene, even though at the time(late 60's)was an older person he still kept up with all the tecnology of the time and I learned alot in his class.
You can reach me at either JVozobule@aol.com or JVozobule@toledomuseum.org.
Thank you so much.
Love your stuff! My favorite student is my daughter, Alicia.
