I know! I know! My blogging friends may disown me. In fact one has. But that's okay. I can take it!
As I mentioned last week, I reached over 100 followers last weekend. I realize to some 100 is nothing, some are honoring 300 and 600, 700. Truly those numbers are amazing and do inspire me to continue blogging and learning how to do more. However, I appreciate that it took a little more time to reach my number of followers. I don't always have fun, printable, freebies for you. I don't have a TpT store. What I do have are my stories, my experience, and my ideas. Sometimes you get some of my deeper thoughts or my ramblings. I thank you for listening and reading. I love this community.
Since all of you have supplied me with more materials and resources than I ever could have imagined I wanted to gift you a little something fun -
How about $25 funky bucks? Lol. Okay, so have you heard of EmTanner Designs?
I am telling you, we - and by we I mean my friends I have made on her facebook page - joke about how we could be her customer service people because we have so much of her stuff we are able to answer other facebooker's questions -but I am telling, I am tons of her stuff and I have given a lot as gifts. Here's just a small sample:
see the two plates - the brown one comes in just about any color you want and is totally customizable; the initial one is just that - pick your initial and color. These are melamine, durable, and dishwasher safe.
(ummm, ignore the wine, teachers don't drink) ;) see the calendar and the notebook looking paper - you can have them say whatever you like. They are dry erase AND magnetic. My calendar says, 'so much to do, so little time...'; see the clipboard - days of the week on the front and the month on the back - it is wet erase (meaning you use a vis-a-vis) on it. If you look on her site I also have the 'Grocery Getter' clipboard.
dry erase calendar-this one with grommets, hanging by my desk at school
lunchboxes - or crayon and marker boxes, whatever - these are durable and totally wipe clean.
mousepads
She does cutting boards (wedding gift); waterbottles; on the go mugs (awesome teacher gifts); I mean she has something for any age, any size, oh and the most adorable cell phone cases. You have to see them. And of course this:
I actually had her do this for me on a tote bag. I love it! Okay I could post tons more, but you go over there and check it out for yourself. Oh and there are sales all the time - if you like her on facebook (I'll warn you, on fb she tells it like it is and is no-holds barred) but she passes out coupon codes for 20 and 30% all the time.
I'm not going to have you go through hoops on this one. I just like good ole' sincerity so if you follow me fabulous and thank you. I appreciate your readership. If you feel like telling someone about what I do over here, cause you've been inspired or learned something, that's great, too. If you are bummed I don't have more printables for you...well there are some amazing blogs listed to your right (haha). If you want to enter, leave a comment letting me know what you would get. I love to get ideas from others. You have until Wednesday night at 9 p.m. est.
Wow! Everything looks awesome! Thanks for sharing so many great ideas!

I love your blog. It is one of my Top 10. I love the stories. In fact, when I read it, I think you should think about writing, publishing a book. A good ol' fashioned teacher inspiration story. :).
ReplyDeleteYou are an inspiration.
I just spent about 30 minutes on the website. I am wondering if the cookies for Santa plate that says love Apple and Moses on clearance was for Gweneth Paltrow? Cute, Cute, and more Cute!!!

I'm a new follower of your blog ~ went through her shop very quickly. Several things caught my eye ~ my daughter will be student teaching in the spring and I'm thinking that the teacher tote would be great for her! (or I could just keep it for myself!!)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
