I am back!

            I'M BACK! I have been MIA becuase I was planning my weddding this school year as well as trying to stay a float with everything at school. It has been a rough year and planning a wedding was just the sherry on top. I had to put creating for TPT on hold because my schedule was extremely busy. 

           Lets go back to the beginning. I started my 2nd year of teaching this past August. I teach 3rd grade and I love it. I absolutely love my students and their parents this year. I have a supportive group of parents that have been there for me since day 1. When I told them I waas getting married this school year, they were so excited for me. They understood that at times I may be stressed or just busy planning my wedding. They were counting down for me practically. Flash forward to March and my wedding was here. I was so excited and so were my students. I was getting married the weekend we started spring break so the students would not be able to see or hear about my wedding until I returned. Little did they know that I would post some photos from out special day on class story. I receieved so much love from my parents and students. I was so excited to see them after spring break to tell them all about my wedding. I knew they were going to have a ton of questions and boy did they. 

        Our special day took place on March 19th 2016. I could not believe it was finally here. I was marrying the man of my dreams. It truly was the best day of my life and I would not change a thing. Here are a few photos from mine and my husbands special day. 

          My bridesmaids were my rocks this past year. I do not know what I would do without them. 

My handsome husband when he first saw me coming down the aisle. I love this picture.

We had a blast with our wedding party. Great friends are hard to find!

We had a superhero them. All the guys wore a superhero shirt under their tux. That day I was able to say "I'm with BATMAN". LOL 

These 2 are my 2 favorite portrait photos. I absolutely love them. 

We had matching charms to go with our superheros. 

Another one of my faves is this one. My MOH was there for me every step of the way. This wedding would have never happened if it wasn't for her. She kept me organized. 

             And that ends our fairytale of a night........

            Now that the wedding is over and the school year is almost over, I am back and ready to create some new products. Until I get some free time to create, I am participating is this years teacher appreciation week sale on teacherspayteachers. Everything in my store is 28% on May 3rd and 4th. Head over to my store now to check out some of my products to help you finish out this school year as well as getting started for next school year. 

 HAPPY SHOPPING! 

TPT SELLER CHALLENGE: CREATE YOUR MASTERPIECE

I just completed week #3 of the tptsellerchallenge. This is my first blog post about this challenge because I am still so new at blogging. This challenge has taught me so many new things about this journey I am on. I have to say that I am loving every minute of it. I created 2 new products for my store this past week. The first was word wall letters (2 different versions).

        These have to be my favorite thing for far in my store. They came out so cute that I have decided to take down the ones I have in my classroom and replace them with these ASAP (pictures to follow in my classroom reveal blog). My favorite are the ones with the banner. If you would like to purchase them  from my store click here.

    The second product that I created was a classroom decor kit (mint/coral chevron theme). 

This product has been a work in progress. I have wanted to a create a decor kit for awhile now. I have included so many things within this kit. I plan on adding more as the time goes on. I love the mint/coral chevron theme. I think it is not to bright and not to dull for a classroom. I do plan on making other classroom decor kits over the next few weeks. I am loving having the summer off so I can create. If you would like to purchase this product from my store click here.

I have been creating an selling products on teacherspayteachers for almost a year now. This challenge has encouraged me to create more and also to begin blogging. Let me tell you that I would not change anything for this amazing opportunity that I have been given. If you want to check out my store click on my signature and it will take you to my tpt store. Thank you for all your love and support through this amazing journey.

Very Excited.....

         I am so excited to announce that I will be getting a blog make over in a few months by the AMAZING Lindsey Paull from LPaull Designs. She has created so many awesome blog designs and I am so excited to see how mine comes out. Keep on the look out for the new design around the middle of August (just in time for the new school year). I can not wait to see what this does for my tpt journey. I am loving every moment of it so far. I am still very new at blogging, so for now as I learn it will be very basic. I love reading all the other amazing teacher bloggers and I hope to one day be just as successful as them. Do you have any advise for this new blogger?
