THE BEST GIVEAWAY IS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS!

Do you know Sara at Miss V's Busy Bees?

Well, if you do or if you don't, you are going to want to check her out.

She is having the give away of all give aways!

Does that make sense? I don't know, but it's HUGE! She has a bushel of people giving things away and I'm positive you will find something you want!

She is celebrating her 500th follower with this big give away. And just to show she isn't selfish, she is asking a lot of people to follow others in order to win this contest. So thanks to her, I am now over 300 followers. . . who would have thought?  I'm super happy to have that many friends. . .
I can call you all friends can't I?

I'm all set for Halloween tomorrow. . . I have every minute planned. . . . and I'm here to tell you that it's going to be fun. . . fun. . . FUN!!! and we'll be learning. . .
yesiree! We sure will.

First we are having our parade of costumes, then we have a breakfast in our rooms. That's our party. We do not wait till the end of the day. . . that is too much for kids to do. So we do it first thing in the morning, get it out of the way and move on!

The next thing we do is a feely bag. I have all the important disgusting ingredients that go into making the Witches' Brew! And they have to feel them, NOT peek at them! NOT say what they think it is, . . . just FEEL!
(of course I show them later on what's inside!)

Music class follows. . . whew! A break in my schedule!  And LUNCH. .
who doesn't love lunch?

After Lunch we are making these cutsie pie Frankenstein Pudding cups.

I know they'll be a big hit!

The rest of the day will be filled with other Halloween activities

and a whole lot of fun.

Our weather in Southern Michigan is pretty cold, rainy, and windy. . . not anything like the East is seeing, but enough of a pain, that Halloween outside tomorrow night, might be a challenge.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FRIENDS!

Birthday $ale i$ almo$t over!

Yes today is my BIRTHDAY! and I'm a young 57 year old broad! I spent the day in a very special way. My husband had tickets to the World Series in Detroit with one of his aunts, his brother and his wife. . . So last night while they were FREEZING in the cold, windy, rainy, sad baseball game, his other aunt and I went shopping and had dinner at Olive Garden. MUCH better than being at that ball game!

Today I got to sleep in, was served a delish egg casserole breakfast (not in bed!) for breakfast, went to see Argo (the movie), eat popcorn and all on a day that I didn't have to teach! Wowzer! That's a birthday celebration. Plus being with this part of my family is always so fun. On the way home the sunset was absolutely beautiful. It's funny how Mother Nature can be so harsh and give us "Sandy" and yet also give us a breath taking sunset too!

I wanted to remind you that you have just a few more hours to take advantage of my 20% off sale. I don't have a large amount of items, but what I do have, you just may want at a cheaper price.  So head on over to my TPT store now. . . . before midnight!

Also tomorrow you'll want to head on over to Sara's blog at Miss V's Busy Bees. She is having a huge, no I mean HUGE giveaway starting tomorrow.

You'll see lots of things I'm sure you want. . . and well, . . . I want them too. . . so get included in this giveaway!

And remember just a few hours left in my sale. . . git, git, git over there!

Yea it's my Birthday!!! $ale $ale $ale!

The end of the month is almost here. . . . so is Halloween. . . . so is my parent's 69th wedding anniversary. . .. . so is MY birthday!
Wow! That's a lot of celebratin' going on. . . . do you want to join in on my party?

YOU CAN!

You are invited to my party! I wanted to throw a big sale. . . I mean a REALLY BIG sale to honor this birthday. . . I mean. . . I'm turning 50 +    a hem. . . cough cough cough  . . . . ok I'll tell ya. . . I'm turning 57.

Maybe if I don't type it in normal size it won't feel like such a large number!

I also just realized that we can't do 50% off sales. . . what's up with that? Does that bug anyone else? Or did I just not set this up right? If anyone knows, please share that with me!

In case that link above doesn't work, please click here to go to my store.

Recently I asked my followers to guess my age and I can now announce that I am giving two people anything they want from my store.

First was Sandy from Second Grade Spots and Dots. She was so sweet. . . she really and honestly thought I looked 45. So how could I possibly NOT award her with a gift for being so innocently sweet! If you don't know Sandy, please stop by and see her. WE second grade teachers need to stick together. Give her some loving and join her blog. And Sandy, go on over to my TPT store, pick something out, and email me to let me know what you picked.

Second, was Suzy Q. . . she is so intuitive. She guessed exactly 57. . . I don't know if she is just a good guesser or if I just really look 57.  Suzy, please help yourself to one thing from my store, too.  Then email me.

I'm happy to be celebrating with all of you. I'm treating myself to the day off from school on Monday for my birthday. My husband has tickets to go the World Series game in Detroit on Sunday night with one of his aunts. I'm going along to spend time with another one of his aunts whom I dearly love being with. His brother and wife are flying in from Florida to also go to the game and I love these two people too. We'll all spend the night with the Aunties and will be able to do things together on Monday. That's a perfect way to spend your birthday isn't it? (Well, except for the 4 and a half hours of lesson planning that I did today to get ready for it! )

Come back on Monday all day long. . . while I'm NOT at school . . . and while you all are. . . and shop to your heart's content!

Happy Shopping!
