It Ends Tomorrow!

Thank you all for your WONDERFUL recommendations for a blog redesign... I've chosen to go with Jenn Bates from Finally in First - stay tuned for a brand-new, totally ME look!! :)

This is your friendly reminder (b/c I probably won't be on the computer tomorrow between teaching K-Camp, going to the doctor, and then finally working in my classroom) that my TpT sale ends tomorrow... click on the pic to check it out! :-) If you teach StoryTown, this sale is FOR YOU! I have lots and lots in there that would benefit you. Even if you don't use StoryTown, check it out for some wonderful Making Words activities!

Help me with... the Bloggy Blues!

Now, don't get me wrong!! I loooove my blogging and blogstalking... my blues are coming from my layout!! :)

I loved this layout when I first began blogging back in the spring, but I've grown bored with it and I see it on lots of blogs (b/c it's so darn cute!). I'm looking for something new, and with my birthday coming up in 3 weeks, I'm asking hubby to buy me a custom-made design!

Here's where you come in - what designers have you worked with that you've had good experiences?? What about design elements - what shops are you finding great scrapbook elements from to use in your blog?? I'm not necessarily stuck to numbers/letters/rulers for a school look, but rather something fun and catchy and pleasing to the eye! Lemme know your thoughts, and I'll hopefully have something new to grace my screen here in a few weeks!

Thanks for your help, friends :-)

It's Not Too Late!!

I don't know about you, but when all the talk of a Postcard Exchange began, I kicked myself for taking a couple days off of blogging and therefore missing out on my turn to sign up! Well, thanks to Ms. Didier, we have another chance, friends! :)

If you want to join in on the super fun writing activity for your kiddos, check out her site and see if your state is still available - there are A LOT of slots still open!! Spread the word and let's get this thing rolling... after all, only 4 1/2 weeks left til we have to get to head on back...!!



Making Words All Year Long - Alphabet Sets!!

Upon request, I have created alphabets to accompany my original Making Words All Year Long pack! There is an alpha for each month, using thematic graphics just like before! There are 2 of every letter, 3 of some more popular letters. I also have included some blank programmable pieces with each alphabet set so you can custommize your own Making Words lessons each month!

Dot and Bob StoryTown pack
