I'm a list maker
Anyone that knows me knows that I obsessively make lists of the things I need to do or accomplish. One might say that I am organized, but the fact of the matter is that I am very easily side tracked. My life is simplified with a list that I can refer to often!
Another thing I like are rules. My children (and even my preschool students) have heard me refer to the "rules keep us safe" lecture series many times. I don't look at rules (well, most of them) as a way to stifle us or limit us, but to keep us going in the right direction.
So, I happened to stumble across this list of rules and decided to make it into a little stitchery.

1. be nice to others

4. say thankyou and please

6. be happy with what you have

8. be helpful
9. speak kind words
10.never give up

I love it! I'm stealing this idea and making one of my own! Thank you! :) Lunch was fun - maybe next time we can go somewhere else?
HI Joanne,
First a belate dHappy Birthday to Cameron! What handsome guy but more importantly, a good guy. You raised him well!
I am a rule and list maker too so I just love your stitchery. I feel exactly the same way you do about rules and I think kids actually thrive when they know the limits. How fortunate the kids at your preschool are to have such a wonderful teacher!!
Have great weekend!
hugs, Linda
I'm a lister as while. I think it drives Karl a little crazy, because the amount of time it takes me to write and rewrite my lists, I probably could have completed half the items on it!
I have list upon list myself, and then I can't find my list...sigh
we have that in common - list making. And I love this one. Thanks for sharing.
um...can I copy? I need a cute stitching idea- and I love this one! Also love the patterns you got- that is amazing you found that! I guess I need to check out the Goodwill every once in a while.
Very Cute -- I love this idea!
I love that stitchery! And the rules are a great reminder to be a better person each and everyday!
I have a previous post about lists-I think we were seperated at birth!! I have a country rules list that I stitched--maybe I will post it one day. Thanks for sharing--your list is veryu cute!! julie
