Back to School Freebie and Halloween Graphics

Good Sunday to you my friends!  

I'm taking a break from trying to finish up some wonderful products I've been working on and wanted to pass along this freebie to you!

I know some of us are already back to school and many are on their way here pretty soon.  So I came up with this School Supply Glyph that I thought you might like.  It will be perfect for those first days when you need to keep your kiddos busy for a few minutes while you keep house!

And this is the glyph that goes with the picture!

And I also finished another Halloween Graphic Set!  This has to be one of my favorite sets of all that I've made.  I love the way the ghosts and witch turned out especially!  All the graphics you see below are included in the set.  You can get them half off for today only, here!

I tried to use brighter colors than you would usually see on Halloween, and I like how the colors turned out together.  The name of the set is Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Her Friends.

And don't forget that tomorrow is the HUGE TpT Back-to-School Sale!  It's on Monday and Tuesday and make sure to use the code: BTS14 to get an extra percentage off your total purchase.  This is one of the biggest sales of the year so grab everything on your wishlist you can afford!  I know I am!

Have a great day friends,

Come Share a Coke with Me and a Giveaway!

I'm a Diet Coke addict.  I admit it.  My family members race to my house each week to see who can be first to collect my cans to return them.  My Goddaughter Sadi once returned them and got over $100.00!  So, I'm a serious Coke drinker friends.  

So you'd think the least Coke would do for me as an avid fan would be to put my darn name on one of their cans, right?  There's got to be a gazillion Cara's across the globe, but I guess that's not enough to qualify for can-stardom.

So I made my own...

Hee, hee.  I think my name looks good on that bottle up there.  Don't you?

If you'd like to make your own bottle, visit the Coke website.  I still think I'm worthy of my name on a bottle since I drink it like it's water.  If you wondered where all my TpT funds go, that's where!

Speaking of TpT, it's time for their annual Back-to-School Sale!

If you've never shopped this sale, it's crazy fun!  There's so many steals and deals, and it's a perfect time to get all those products you've had your eye on.  You know those products you really didn't have the money for at the time and put on your wishlist?  Well, now's the time!  Especially for those higher priced items you want.  Trust me, I have my wishlist in hand and am ready to shop!

Running Out of Blogging Ideas?...I Have a Solution!

Today marks a new day in our lives, a new week to achieve more goals, and a new month to BLOG!  I know, that's such a profound quote isn't it?  Sometimes we have those down days when we just don't have a darn thing to say, well, something worth sharing I should say.  I ALWAYS have something to say!  But not something you might find interesting in hearing.

I decided to come up with a monthly list of ideas that you and I could blog about should our wells run dry.  Feel free to use any of these ideas to write about or maybe a question or two might spark a new idea for you.  And then I reached my goal for the new week;)

Until Later Friends,

I'm so happy to present to you the following project that so many of my Blogger friends have been so busy working at...The Back-to-School, Blogger Product Swap 2014!  I unfortunately don't have a product to share with you because I hosted the event and had a lot of admin things to do (that's the Administration Degree in me speaking :), but I do want to give a shout out to all those that participated.

To participate, Bloggers were randomly assigned a Blogging Partner to exchange products with.  I assigned them by matching grade levels and interests.  The connected with each other and swapped products they thought other teachers may benefit from.  Bloggers then printed off some or all of the products, used them with victims students they could grab, and then reviewed the product.  They were asked to look at the products layout, design, grade compatibility, ease of use, and other highlights they wished to present.  

Below you will see all the Bloggers that participated in the event.  I really want to thank each of them personally for participating, as being a product reviewer is no easy task.  Having to have a critical eye of a colleague's work is intimidating to say the least.  So please, please, please try to visit some if not all of these wonderful posts by my Blogging Buddies you see listed here.  You might just end up seeing a new product you just HAVE to have for your classroom as Back-to-School is just around the corner!

Have fun looking at all the B2S products my friends,

Mistakes New Bloggers Make You Want to Know!

As a new blogger, I've made many, many mistakes that I wish someone would have told me up front!  But that's how all things in life are...you try something new, go through your learning curve, and hopefully, master the knowledge to be proficient in the task.  But, it helps if you have a teacher along the way to help you along.  Isn't that why we're teachers in the first place?  To help our students along in their learning processes?

Hopefully I can share with you today some mistakes I've made as a new blogger that maybe might help you also as a new or seasoned blogger.  Read on to find out some mistakes that new bloggers make and remedies to those mistakes. You just might make your own blog even better!

Share the Love Sunday with Free Fonts!

I hope I'm not boring you with these free font posts...but I'm kind of a fontaholic.  Anyone else out there?  They're fun to have AND fun to make!  

Here are two more fonts for you on this Share the Love Sunday:

I've also been very busy drawing new graphics.  There's something about drawing that's very relaxing to me.  Honestly, I'll be working on a TpT product and need a break.  So I'll start drawing and it will turn into a new clip art set!

Friends, I don't know where this one came from.  Sometimes a doodle turns into a worm.  What can I say?

This set is half-off for today only.  You can get it here.  It includes 52 images and line art (black and white) is also included for your printables!

I also needed a clip with a child wearing a crown.  So this set was born!  Included are all the graphics shown. 

This set is also half off for today only.  Grab your set of Star of the Week Kids here.  These kiddos would be perfect for any awards you make especially, or newsletters too!

Today is Share the Love Sunday!  That means anyone can link up any past post below.  Then you must visit any other 3 posts and comment, hence the name, "Share the Love Sunday"!  Last week no one linked up (insert sad face here.)  So hopefully today, we'll have 100% more participation. Doesn't 100% sound like a huge goal?  Not if you're starting at zero (insert happy face here.)

Here's the button should you want to link up.  Please put this in your post somewhere and link it back to my blog.

Have a great day friends!

I Need Some Me Time!

Happy Friday Friends!  And oh, what a week it's been.  Between driving my son to camp everyday, to making a lot of new resources, I haven't had some time to rest it seems.  And we all need our Me time, right?  Hopefully today I can squeeze some in!  I'm linking up with Doodlebug's Five for Friday today.  Read on to find out about my week!

Here are my two newest clip art sets:  Emotions and Go Fish.  I haven't played around much with different emotions on my clip art, so this set was a lot of fun to make.

 Here's a new font I've made for all of you called Happy Teacher!  It's a quirky font with some curls and twirls here an there.  I hope you like it and can find some use for it!

I just finished my new product, Let Me Count the Ways.  It's a set of math posters that show kids the different ways they can make numbers.  I really love bling, so they all have a hint of glitter on them.  Couldn't resist!  You can find them in my store for half-off today only here.

If you use Lucy Calking Writing Units, this may look familiar to you.  It's a Heart Map that you introduce to students during the first lessons of the year in writing.  Students are to think of things that are near and dear to their hearts and draw them in the heart sections.  Then, this poster becomes a reference tool for them when writing of topics they are "experts" at writing because the topics are to important to them.  Click here to download this free poster!

I've bundled some of my top-selling Back to School products into a bundle that's very affordable and much cheaper than if you purchased all these sets alone!  You can find this bundle here in my TpT Store.

Happy Day to You All,
