As promised, here are some photos of the stamp that I made yesterday to use as an example for my Saturday school class…

I know.. when did that happen?!  It was the biggest, most spontaneous decision EVER.  I was innocently googling teaching requirements Wednesday, which led to an advising appointment on Thursday just to get some questions answered and maybe consider applying to start in the spring, and the next day I was [...]
