Day 2 Celebration: Linky, giveaway, and more free graphics!!

Thank you everyone for all of the bloggy wishes & encouragement!! This has been such a fun experience! I hope you have all enjoyed the freebies so far!! To add some more fun to the mix, I am adding a fun linky & giveaway!! Let me introduce to you....

I know that everyone has a first year blog story to share. For this linky, all you have to do is share a favorite memory from your first year of blogging.....you can share something funny, a moment of enlightenment when you learned how to do something, or tips you would like to share.
The Linky begins today (Oct. 21) and ends on Wednesday, Oct. 23. All you need to do is grab the poster above, share your memory on a blog post and then come back and link that post in the Inlinkz  tool below. 
I have enabled the ability to vote on the links, which should be very fun. I have never used the voting feature before, so this will be another new experience...hahaha
There is also an incentive for linking up!! Everyone who links up will receive something special from me & one lucky winner will get to choose any one item from my TPT store! The winner will be announced on Thursday, October 25th.
 In order to receive your special gift from me after you link up, you will need to include your email address in a comment below. I will be sending out the gifts as soon as you start linking up 
I can't wait to read your stories!!
I know this is a bit off topic, but I just had to share this. If you love TPT, then you will love this product (not mine). I ordered one today after I accidentally stumbled upon a Rockin' TPT store belonging to Laura Torres. She has the cutest hand-crafted keepsake bracelet for sale - I can't wait to get mine (-; Click on her name above to check out her TPT store. 
And no blog post will be complete this week without something special!!! Thank you for always "filling my bucket" with love...here are a couple of buckets you can fill... These would be great printed very large on card-stock. Once printed, you can cut a slit at the top and use it for activities in your classroom...just an idea..haha
