New Sets, Shout Outs & Some Freebies of Course!

Hold on folks...this may be a long ride....I was on time-out yesterday and I am exploding with news...hehehe

I   have FINALLY completed the food and shopping sets..woo hoo!!  I was grounded from the office yesterday; including any technology because my hubs was feeling neglected. I had major blog and computer withdrawals. So for those of you who tried to contact me yesterday...sorry...I was put on a TIME-OUT!  LOL!!


Click HERE to check out this new set! Ye-Haw!!


Here is a FULL...Yes...I said a FULL Preview of the clip art that is in this collection. If you haven't noticed, I have been making sure to place all of the graphics in the collection within the preview file (I am sure I have a run on sentence...hahaha). I think the cart took me the longest to draw, but the kiddos took the longest to color. I always have the hardest time picking out color combinations & can sometimes spend more time trying to think of colors than I do drawing...LOL! I know...it's the OCD.. (don't tell anyone - it's a secret).

One Last Business Doozy before moving on...I have FINALLY revised the "you know who-inspired" graphics collection as well!! I removed any characters related to the Dr. and I combined all the black&white with the colored graphics into one file (they all fit this time...YEAH!!). My new set is called...


WAIT FOR IT...
It's a Silly World!!

Let the sales begin!! 






News!!

Tara over at 4th Grade Frolics (one of my many fav's) is having a really fun lunch linky & Giveaway. She is almost at 1000 followers, so get on over there, follower her and join in on the lunchy fun! I helped her create a grab button for the linky & I got a chance to chat with her quite a bit on Sunday! I have to tell ya...she is quite the awesome-est!

NEXT!!

A couple of days ago I received the sweetest email & I asked if it was alright to share her email and her resource with all of you and she was super excited...She does not have a blog...yet, but I am sure she will succumb to the peer pressure very soon (-;


Michelle,

Thank you so so much for making such amazing graphics for teachers to use! I'm a student teacher finishing up my placement (graduating in May with my M.T. -- hooray!), and have found all of your graphics such an amazing resource for me in making manipulatives, worksheets, anchor charts -- you name it! I was scratching my brain trying to think of a way to help my third graders with elapsed time (in VA, the standard for third grade is to the hour; not to cross over A.M. and P.M.), and it dawned on me that with them having just learned measurement, a ruler-type manipulative would work.

So I made the attached elapsed-time ruler for students. It can either be used with just hourly increments, or two pages can be printed and four strips strung together to make half-hour increments. I'm having my kiddos draw in the hands, the time, and write the time in words (another third grade standard). We'll use it to help us with our elapsed time activities (measuring the elapsed time *just* like with a ruler).

Anyway, I don't have a blog or a TPT store (so I can't post it myself), but I thought you'd get a kick out of it and could either use it or distribute it in the future.

Thanks so so much for all that you do!
