Back to school books!

Hello everyone hope your day going to be a crafty one.

Quote by~Dwight David Eisenhower
Faming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you're a thousand
miles from the corn field,

Its a fact:
There 15 sheep to very person in New Zealand.
Porcupines can float in water.
Every person on earth there is over 200 million insects.
Slugs have four noses.
Human thighbones are as strong as concrete.

Tip
Back to school tips
Introduce yourself to the techer within the first few weeks.
Don't send your child to school with cup cakes with out checking the school policy.
If backpack to heavy,consider using a book bag on wheels.
