HELLO EVERYONE!!!!  Today is my 1 Year Blogoversary!!!!  I can't believe that I started this blogging journey a year ago!  It has been one of the most rewarding experiences that I can recall!  I have met so many wonderful friends and received so much support in this bloggy world!  I remember jumping up and down when I got my first follower, and I can't believe that now I am almost to 500!!!  I started this blog as a place to post my projects, and to enter challenges, and I never thought it would turn into what it has!  :)
As a way to celebrate I am going to be doing a giveaway!  Now...  My wonderful parents have said that they would like to donate a gift card for this giveaway...  If I can reach 500 followers (I need 16 more), they will double the amount of the gift card!!!  We can do this!  :)

Here's how you can enter (1 entry for each thing listed below):

1.  Become a follower and leave me a comment here.
2.  Post my blog button on your blog and leave me a comment here.
3.  Post about my giveaway on your blog and leave me a comment here.

Giveaway Winners and Stuff!

Hey everyone!  It's time for me to announce the winners from the Teacher Gifts Blog Hop and the Save the Earth Fantabulous Cricut Crawl!  YAY!  I can't believe it has taken me this long to post the winners (especially for my teacher giveaway), but I haven't been home very much...  Last week (and this week) I went bowling with my cousin and her husband.  He is on a team, and he is making me and my cousin want to join a team.  My cousin and I were bowling with him and another guy (totally adorable by the way) and they were telling us that our horrible scores would actually help a team...  I would join or form my own team, and I'm not even kidding!  :) 

Anywho, before I announce the winners, I will show you what my class has been up to!  We have been working really hard in our school garden, and we've also been raising our own butterflies!  I have been doing this activity for the last 7 years, and I am still amazed that a caterpillar turns into a butterfly!  :)  My students said that we must be great "parents" because all of our butterflies were healthy and happy!  How cute!!! 

I'm very nerdy (and proud of it) and I wore a butterfly shirt for the release!  :)  The kids felt the release was bittersweet...  They were proud, but they would have liked keeping them longer.

Our school garden!  We have onions, flowers, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, carrots, etc....  The kids water, weed, plant everything, sweep, etc.  They are very good gardeners!  :)

Okay, for the moment you've all been waiting for....  The giveaway winners!

**For the Teacher Gifts Blog Hop, the winner is....

#7- Georgiana!!!!  This is perfect because she is also a teacher!  :)

**For the Save the Earth Fantabulous Cricut Crawl, the winner is....

#43- Marcia!!!!

Congratulations ladies!  Thank you to everyone who entered my giveaways!  Your support of me and this lil' ol' blog means a lot to me!  :)

Bowling Fun & Giveaway Winner!!! :)

Hello and Happy Friday everyone!!!!!  Happy Dr. Seuss Day & TGIF!!!  My students and I had a fun day reading a lot of different Dr. Seuss books, and they were spoiled with some cool buttons, pencils, etc...  My sister, my friend Christy, and I also went to the afterschool program Talent Show today and it was so fun to watch our old students singing and dancing!  They are so much more brave than I am!  :)

I am so excited to announce the winner, winner chicken dinner from my giveaway, but first I wanted to share some fun bowling pictures from tonight!  I haven't been bowling in about 9 years, and my niece Chloe had never been at all, so....  My sister and I decided it was time to introduce her to the sport of bowling tonight!  We had a ton of fun, and I was pretty proud of my score... 133 (keep in mind there were bumpers on the lane, but I didn't really hit them much)!  I even got a couple of strikes!  There was a student from our school bowling next to us, so that was fun too!  We will definitely be back!  :)

Here I am....  Ready to get a strike!

My niece, ready to throw the ball for the first time!  :)

My sister and niece hamming it up for the camera!  :)

Action shot!  I think I was celebrating a strike! (I don't get those often)!
