$25 Gift Card Oriental Trading Giveaway

Mother's Day will be here before you know it.   I've been browsing over at Oriental Trading for a few ideas.  They have several choices, but I can't decide what I'm going to go with yet.   What would you choose?

I'm so excited that Oriental Trading gave me a $25 Gift Card to give to one of my followers!  I'll make it easy for you (and me because I can't remember how to do the rafflecopter).  Just let me know in the comment section what you think you would spend your $25 on if you are the lucky winner!!!  Don't forget to leave your email.  I will draw a number next Saturday, April 13th  (before 11 PM Central Time).

I'm Truly Blessed & a Giveaway

Have you ever had a child puke on you?   I tried not to totally freak out, but I don't think I was too successful.  The whole class was in total chaos and my poor little sick boy just continued to puke.  Everything went downhill for me after that.  I was able to clean my shoe and foot off...but my foot was wet and cold all day all day long.  I think it really did something to me psychologically!          Today...I'm home sick and after going to the Dr.'s office, and getting drugs I slept the afternoon away.

I was awakened by a knock at the door and a there on my front porch was a huge package left by UPS!  I was so excited to see that it was from Oriental Trading. I was shocked to find book organizers, baskets, stickers, bookmarks,  certificates, hall passes & pencils!  Wowser!!!!!! Here is the picture of all the goodies!

Guess what else they sent?  

I am feeling so blessed (even through all my sickness) and I want to share my good fortune with one of you! This is my first time to use Rafflecopter...we'll see how that goes. :-)

Reading Street - Sam Come Back

Kim over at First Grade is 'Toad' ally Awesome is having a giveaway that ends in a few hours.   She created a packet for the Sam, Come Back ~ which is the first story in the Reading Street.  If you use this series, you might want to make your way over there and sign up.  Even if you don't use this series, show her some love and go check her blog out.  It is cute!  

Keeping My Fingers Crossed!!!!

I am so tired of looking at my blog.    I've tried several times to figure out how to change it to something I like, but so far... nothing!!!   It's sad... I don't even know what my dream blog would look like.  My class theme has been dogs, and dogs are a delight... so maybe something to do with cute puppies.  


I was excited to see that Ms. Fultz is giving some lucky person (keep your fingers crossed for me!!!)  a custom design!  Oh me goodness!  It would almost be like winning a lottery!! 


One of her conditions is that you have to blog about her giveaway... so I am!!! But I'm not liking it!    If you have a beautiful blog already just tell me at the bottom that you hope I win... and ignore the possibility of winning a new design for yourself.  Otherwise, click on the picture below. If you win, it's okay... I'll get over it!

Enlarging my Couch Imprint ~ and GIVEAWAYS~~

I'm kinda very torn on what I need to do.  Should I ... or ... should I just forget about it?  What to do, what to do!!!  Okay, I'll do it, but I want you to know it is really not in my best interest to do this!!!  


This weekend while I was deepening (and most likely widening) the imprint in my comfy chair, I found a relatively new blog to stalk ~ First Grade Bloomabilities.    Lisa is a first grade teacher as well as an author and is having an awesome chapter book series giveaway.  There are 6 books in the set!!  She doesn't say that they will be autographed...but maybe we can talk her into it!!!!  


Click on the picture below to head on over to her sight.  She has a TPT store with lots of  items that you will also want to check out.  Give her some love while you are there!!!  March 1st is when it is all over, so don't procrastinate!

Ashley, over at Flying High in High Heels is also having herself a giveaway.  She is celebrating 50 followers.  A $15 itunes gift card is the prize!  I have several songs that I have had on my wish list for quite some time ~ so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one.  Click on her button to head on over there.  Good luck!

Another giveaway is happening over with Miss Trish at First Grade Frosting (isn't that name just adorable???) The lucky winner wins their choice of either a St. Patrick’s Day or Dr. Seuss Literacy Center. It ends on the 29th ~ so don't wait too long!

Keri over at Teach~Play~Smile is celebrating 100 followers by giving away TWO $10 gift certificates to Teachers Pay Teachers.  I really really need this!  If you think you might be able to use it too, click on her button to go and enter.  

Reading, Giveaways & Cookie Linky Party

     This is the second day of dreary weather occurring during my much needed Christmas Holiday break! Rainy & just flat miserable! On a positive note though... this weather does put me in the mood for reading. So after posting, I'm going to slip under the covers and read until I fall asleep and then read again when I wake back up.  (Repeating the cycle until my hubby gets home).   The only thing that would make is better would be a little rumble of thunder every now and then. I don't know what it is about that sound, but I LOVE it when I'm nice and cozy and with a good book in my hand. 

     While doing some major stocking stalking over the past few days, I've found a few giveaways that you might want to check out.   I always question why I want to share them with you guys though.  Seriously!!! It certainly doesn't improve my chances of winning!!!!  But it is the holiday season...and well...consider it my gift to you! Good luck one and all! 

     First up on my stocking stalking list is Second Grade Shenanigans. She is giving away her ENTIRE TPT STORE!!! How crazy for her and wonderful for us is that!

     Next let your fingers do the walking and head on over to Dreamlike Magic.   She is celebrating 1000 Facebook Fans! That really makes my 200 fans (mostly family members)  seem really really teeny tiny. She is giving away a $25 gift voucher to Dreamlike Magic Designs! I'm so much wanting to win this one. I mean seriously! Look at this blog...I need a little help!!!!!!!!

     Last, but certainly not to be considered any less important is happening over at Live Laugh and Love to Learn in Second Grade.  She is keeping us all on the edge of our seats trying to figure out what the mystery is. She won't even give us a hint, except to say that she is also giving the mystery gift to her Holly Bloggy Christmas Pal!

 Oh yes... one more rather important thing. My awesome first grade teaching partner is having a Cookie Linky Party over at Klinger Cafe'. However, I'm VERY upset with her right now... since I told her a few weeks ago that I was going to do a Cookie Linky Party...but that I had to figure out how to do it first!!!  Seriously, head on over to her sight and please tell her that I sent you AND THAT SHE CAN MAKE HER OWN CASHEW CARAMEL CORN THIS YEAR!!!  She has a adorable site!  You will definitely want to go over and see it!

Twelve Days of Christmas Give Away

It's happening!  The Twelve Days of Christmas Give Away is upon us.  Scurry on over to Oh' Boy 4th Grade to sign up for this gargantuan giveaway.  Good luck to all!

Gobble Up Some Goodies Giveaway

There is an amazing giveaway happening over at Mrs Freshwater's Class.   I'm so envious of the talent that these amazing teachers have!  I drool every time I see their creations they post!  Why Lord, didn't I get a bit of that talent?  Anyways...enough of my whining... head on over there and get yourself signed up.  The giveaway ends on the 15th, so don't put it off too long.






Good luck to all and I hope everyone has a relaxing weekend.
