Time for a GIVEAWAY!!!!

So. I promised a giveaway when I reached 100 followers, and the time has come.

It's time for...

Drumroll, please.

Farley is donating her AMAZINGLY CUTE new parent communication pack






Elizabeth is donating her Poetry and Figurative Language Lapbook kit (which looks awesome!)




Katie donated her set of Problem Solving Task Cards (which I have and LOVE)-they come with directions and an answer recording sheet, too!

    Congrats on 100 followers! I really enjoyed your posts, however I think my favorite thing is your description in your "about me" section! The coffee addiction and the need to make things look pretty are both things I can relate to! :-P

    Congrats on 100! I just found your blog today.. and I'm glad I did! I'm getting an endorsement in 4th and 5th grade, so I love to find upper grade blogs! But I absolutely love the pictures that you put up of your pup, the crafts that you do, and your intro post! It lets your readers see what your personality is through writing - which I love! Thank you for doing this!
