Greetings Fellow Shoppers! I am not one who joins the frenzied flock of folks who fuel themselves with caffeine and head out to shop  in their sleighs today,  BUT...   I do wrap up in my Snugglie and shop online! If you do too, then this TpT Linky Party is just right for you!   Is there a busy teacher on your "Nice List" who would like a set of December and January activities completely copied and prepared? Then these two resources are sure to please!  Just prep them, tie them in a big bow, and give the gift of lesson plans made easy! Both are also perfect sets of "Sub Tub" activities to have ready "just in case"Old Man Winter strikes you down with a whopper of a cold! Both resources are in the midst of a BIG makeover through TODAY  (Nov. 28th) and possibly into tomorrow, so if you buy them please watch for the REVISED FILE notice on your purchases page before printing!   ...
Welcome avid fans of Teachers Pay Teachers! Do you have a "wish list" that is a mile long? Are any products made by the colorful box of blogger gals  that I belong to over at  The Primary Pack  on it? Do you need ideas about what to buy next to help you work smarter not harder during the hectic month of December? Then you have come to the right place, my friends! It is time to "get your shop on" as the holiday craze gets underway!     A special shout out goes to Alexis over at Laugh.Eat.Learn and Elyse over at Proud To Be Primary for being our "hostesses with the mostest!" Thanks to their awesome organization and planning skills,  we are ready to  start the season and make it merry and bright for you! This linky party is designed to feature a few bestsellers from my own store, and provide the opportunity for me to share some things that  are on my own personal  "to buy"...
Welcome Friends! I got caught up in the whirlwind of my blogiversary celebration  ending last Thursday,  and then the Facebook Free-For-All starting,  and never posted a complete list of giveaway winners here!    I put them out on Facebook and Instagram, but also wanted to share the  good news here for all to cheer! I truly apologize for my "senior moment!"  There are honestly not enough  Post-It   notes out there  these days to help  me keep track of  all of the aspects of my life!   As I age, it is certainly harder to multi-task....and to remember where I left my keys  and put my glasses. My students are aways helping me find the stapler I seem to have misplaced, or the pile of papers "I just had in my hand a minute ago!"   Can you relate to this problem too? Today's first "shout out" goes to the four talented gals  whose clip art made my daily giveaways possible! They were all so gracious, generous...

Welcome back my friends! It's Day 6 of my blogiversary extravaganza and I am glad you're here! There's no giveaway prizes today, just a story and a song. Tomorrow I've got "double the fun" planned, so  be sure to stop back! Tonight's post is a walk down "memory lane" and is entitled My TpT Tale. The song clip at the end of the post continues to be my inspiration. ***** Once upon a cold November night in 2013,  I bought a commercial license for DJ Inker clip art, created my first freebie,  and opened my TpT  store.  I honestly and absolutely had NO CLUE as to what I was doing, and learned from reading posts in the Seller's Forum, watching video tutorials posted by some of my favorite bloggers, googling tech tips, and sending blind e-mails with questions. I uploaded more literacy packs, figured out that I needed a Facebook page to help promote both my store and my blog, started buying oodles of...
