Happy Blogiversary to Me!

I can not believe I have been blogging for a whole year!
{How embarrassing, I published my post with blog spelled wrong! I blame blogiversary for not being a real word!}

I started my blog a year ago, 4 months into my first year of teaching as an escape from what was consuming my life. I wanted to blog about crafting, creating and my cute outfits! Until I realized that I wasn't escaping the teaching thoughts at all! I was pouring over teaching blogs, posting about fun things in my classroom and on April 8th, I even became a Teaching Blog Addict and wrote our very first post! I can safely say that blogging has changed my life, and I LOVE IT!!

As a thank you to all of my followers, I want to do a giveaway!

The first winner chosen will receive ALL of my products listed on my Teachers Notebook site including...

My best selling product:
My November Games and Centers:

and my NEW Winter Games and Centers!
 
 {Thanks Rachelle for the "shadow" tutorial! <3}

The second winner will get to choose two products!
And the third winner will get to choose one!

Leave me a comment here to be entered to win!
I will choose the winners on Sunday Nov 27th, my one year blogiversary!

Also, because I'm in the {thanks}giving mood... and because the timing works out perfectly, I will be throwing a sale on Monday Nov 28th, {Cyber Monday!} at both my TN store!


My Winter Games and Centers pack will be up on Cyber Monday!
I want to shout out a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who gave me feedback on my products. It really helped me with my winter pack and I think you all will really like it! I know most of you said you like smaller packs that are reasonably priced, but I just couldn't resist! I kept thinking of such cute centers and games! I did take one center out to make the pack smaller. You can get this center for FREE by liking my new Facebook page!

I hope everyone has a fun and relaxing Thanksgiving!

P.S. My printer is BOTHERING THE YOU KNOW WHAT OUT OF ME!! I've only had it for six months, and rarely ever print from it {promise!} yet it's always out of colored ink and prints my pages all ugly! If you'd like to share what kind of printer you have that can count as your comment! Thanks guys!!!

Congratulations on your milestone. Your winter pack looks so cute. :)

I have an Espon printer but I feel like I buy ink all the time too.

Vickie said...

The Winter pack looks so cute!I'm no help with the printer...I hate our Cannon. We're REALLY lucky at school and have a wonderful color laser type printer that they let us use anytime :).

Hannah said...

Congrats on your 1 year blogiversary!

I have an Epson printer... I like it. I had an HP before this one and didn't care for it, so I wouldn't recommend that brand.

Amy said...

Congrats!! I love your blog and your products, using the thanksgiving pack this week and looking forward to the winter pack!

I have a Lexmark printer, it's been horrible on ink, even when I buy new ink it sometimes doesn't work right and I spend have the time working on it and random pictures will print funny colored even though the rest of the page is great...weird! I'm getting a Kodak this weekend it promises to be lower cost ink and prints 600 pages per cartridge (mine does 200 right now)I'll have to let you know how it works!

Congrats on the blogversary! I haven't found a printer I love yet. We have a Dell printer scanner copier at home but it runs out of ink super fast. I have an HP deskjet at school but it doesn't print stuff cute so I go use the Media teacher's laser printer. Much nicer! Would love to win the cute stuff from your TPT store!!

Mrs. I said...

Congrats!

I have an HP All-in-one that has been great. I use mostly black ink and it's not too expensive. But it also prints really nice in color.

Janine said...

Congratulations! You were one of my very first blogging friends when I started (I have to check my date so I can have a blogiversary too!).
I have an HP and I hate it right now. I am forever buying ink! If you find a better option, let me know and I will do the same. Maybe Black Friday will help me out!

Kristin said...

Happy Blogiversary!!!!! That's so exciting!
And I would love to win anything from your store!
My printer is an HP and has never done me wrong. But it's time to upgrade to a more efficient, environmentally friendly printer that does not eat ink the way the HP does. But I can't seem to part with it.

The Winter Pack looks great! I feel you on the printer. I've had mine about the same amount of time. Mine is wireless and would work about 50% percent of the time until about a month ago when it just decided to be "unable to connect to the internet" even though it says it's connected at "excellent" strength. Sweet. :)

I have a Kodak ESP c310 and I LOVE it! It prints much more quickly than my old HP did and it seems like ink lasts much longer - plus ink is cheaper! I would never go with any other brand :) Congrats on your blogiversary!

Happy Blogiversary to you! I love following your ideas and using them in my classroom!

I have to say I have been lucky in the printer department. My husband bought an industrial color printer from his work, that they no longer used. He's an enabler, lol... Good luck finding a good one. We had an HP printer/copier/scanner for about two years, before it died. Couldn't take the volume of what a teacher prints, I guess. :) I wouldn't recommend one of those.

You have a great blog! Congrats on your blogiversary! I'm pretty new to blogging and it is addicting and so much fun!I would love your new unit and activities!

Sharon said...

Happy Blogiversary! I love your blog! I have a wireless HP all-in-one printer and it seems to eat ink like crazy but I love being able to print from my iPad. I also have a Lexmark wireless that I really loved until it stopped recognizing the color ink cartridge.

Meg said...

Happy Blogiversary!!! I love seeing all of your ideas to help spark some of my own creativity. Cheers to another year of blogging

I have an HP Photosmart Printer. If you are looking to buy a new printer, you may want to look at how much the cartridges cost. I LOVE my printer.. I left it at school, so I dont have the exact name but it is wireless and I think that anytime you have something that prints photos that will be great! I love your blog by the way!

Meredith said...

Happy Blogiversary-I'm sure you will have many more. I love reading your blog! Wish I had some good printer advice for you-but my Canon printer goes thru color ink WAY too quickly-I'd love a better printer!

Laura said...

Happy One Year!
I am new to kinder. (As of last week!) I know it's crazy to create a combo in November but that is what happened. I feel so blessed to find amazing teachers like you.

I use a HP color laser printer. I love it! You pay a lot for the ink at first but it will last. I have not replaced my toner in over a year. I've done two sets of wedding invites and all the printing for my class on it. You should consider a laser printer, if you don't already have one.

Nancy said...

Happy Blogiversary! I so appreciate all that you have shared via your blog. The winter package looks great - would love to share it with my K class!

Stacy said...

I just started blogging about a week ago so I can't wait to see what a year brings...I am in love and obsessed with blogging already! Seeing a blog likes yours just inspires me that much more!
