MY CLIP ART OBSESSION CONTINUES--GIVEAWAY DAY 5!

  Today is the day for "true confessions."

As much as I love teaching young children, creating classroom resources, and sharing ideas and activities here on my blog, there is something

else that often consumes me.

My name is Jennifer, 

and I am addicted to TpT clip art.
 

 So much so that an intervention may have to take place soon, especially 

if some of my "go-to" graphic designers do not stop

posting adorable sets that call my name and 

force me to purchase them!

I currently own 110 sets of clip art. 
This is NOT a static number.  It is an ever-evolving number.
Don't judge.
  

Most I have purchased, but many I have

downloaded as "freebies" from the generous and talented 

sellers that I follow loyally. I will never, ever find the time

to use all of my files in products, but often I just love

perusing them and thinking of what I could make if

the hours in my day were unlimited and I did not

require sleep.

One of my FAVORITE

artists is Sarah, 

the creative force behind....

Both her 

TpT store

and

website 

feature a delightful variety of both whimsical

and real-life graphic sets!

I think my first purchase from

was this pet set.  

Brutus and Rose are both featured prominently 
in two of my literacy units  
{HERE}, 

as are the rest of the adorable pups in this pack!

I bought this set last winter to create a resource to compliment my annual

non-fiction study of owls.  It continues to be a "work in progress."  I just love the  expressions on their faces!  If you've ever read Owl Babies, you understand what I am talking about!

This rootin' tootin' collection of all things wild and western served as the inspiration for my classroom decor theme this year, and will 

forever remain a favorite! 

Room #2 was transformed into the 

Rockin' R Learning Ranch

in fine style! 

See these

cute cowboys and cowgirls in action

{HERE} 

and  

{HERE}!

These next two sets are the newest additions to my stash of

holiday graphics, and will hopefully debut in new

products shortly.   I found the elves irresistible and impish!

Now that conferences are

over an some long weekends are ahead of me, I plan to

get some half-done units completed and uploaded to my store!

I may even include them in my upcoming OTES evaluation
lesson to make it merry and bright instead of
stressful and panic-attack inducing!  HA!

 

In the meantime, you need to complete today's

Rafflecopter entries carefully and be sure to follow both Sarah's TpT store and Facebook page in order to receive notices about FLASH FREEBIES, as well as her FRIDAY FREEBIES!  Her new sets are also always 50% off for the first 48 hours!

Know that my heart swelled happily when Sarah allowed me to

choose these two literature-based clip art bundles for today's prizes, and then also donated a $15 gift certificate that is good until February 2015!

She is most certainly generous with a capital G, and

is anxiously awaiting news of my three winners!

I will announce the good news via  

Instagram 

 and  

Facebook 

early tomorrow morning before I head home to Toledo from Chicago!

Thanks so much for partying on with me! Tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov. 11th,

you will find some bargains from me over at

Teacher Deals and Dollar Steals, 

and 

another giveaway right here!

It will be a double-blogiversary day!  

Be sure to stop back!  

Hooray!
