Dare to Dream #TPTSellersChallenge

This week, for the TPT Sellers Challenge, we were asked to "Dare to Dream"

After some thought, I came up with the following list:

WORK - My dream has come true...at least termporarily. This upcoming school year I am going to attempt to successfully be a "Work From Home Momma!" I'm not sure how this is going to look or where it will take me, but I am determined to make it work for our family. I'm excited and terrified all at the same time.

DEBT - Naturally I want to be able to pay off debt.  After getting married and being hired in a kindergarten position for the first time, I decided to further my education and obtain my Master's Degree.  With that, came a big fat tuition bill. OUCH! That has been a hefty monthly bill.

RELATIONSHIPS - I have loved connecting with so many wonderful educators all over the world.  I hope that this only continues to grow and strengthen. My dream is to meet many more of you in real life! :)

GROWTH - I would love to continue to grow as an educator, wife, mother, and student. I love watching my products evolve and enjoy challenging my creative side.  My dream is that my store will continue to grow!

I also dream of many (and much more) materialistic things as well. Lets face it, it's natural. I would love to be able to finally finish renovating our home and yard. I would love to own a brand new car.  I would love to have a wardrobe makeover, as well as get my nails and hair done by someone else and not be on a time crunch. I would love to be able to travel to the many places on my 'bucket list'. How fun that would be to take Max to see the world! 

I can dare to dream.

Makeover Madness #TPTsellerchallenge

For the first week of the TPT Sellers Challenge, I was 'challenged' to either makeover an entire product or just refresh a cover. 

I went through all my files, realized I have many more products I would like to makeover, and decided on a product that has been a constant success in my classroom every year I've taught...my parent-teacher communication binders!

After finding some insanely adorable clip art from Graphics From the Pond, I got to work on making over my JUNGLE Book Binder.

Here's what I did:

 I am seriously in love with all those "scrappy" clip art collections!

Here is a peek at the rest of the packet:

I'm so excited to finally be joining in on the fun.  Having a fully mobile 6-month-old does not leave me much 'working' time. 

If you haven't heard about the TPT Seller Challenge, then you must visit Ashley's blog; Teach, Create, Motivate and read all about it. 

In a nutshell...it's a great way to get yourself motivated, refreshed, and possibly gain some followers {potential friends}! 

The first thing the ladies ask you to do is get your beginning stats together, like so...

Then get to working on revamping a product!

I've already made my selection and am excited to get started on refreshing another product!  Stay tuned!
