Happy 700 Followers!



Who would'a thunk it!?!  I just have to thank all 700+ of you for putting a little spark into my teaching career!  I think if you asked any teacher who blogs why they do it, they'd say because they feel renewed and inspired by the other teacher bloggers and teacher followers.  It's so true you guys - I can't tell you how much you've changed me. 

I was one of those people who knew what I wanted to be back when I was 7 -  a teacher. I can also say that I spend every day {even in the summer} doing what makes me happy. And all of you have helped make it even more sweet.

 I celebrate YOU!  Thanks so much!!!!!

I'd like to give a $20 TpT gift certificate to one of my followers!  I'm thinking this gift will help you relax and enjoy those summer sunsets even more knowing that you've got money to spend when you're ready to go back to school shopping!!!!!

Good luck!!!! And thanks again!!!!
