300 Followers!!!



Wow!  I cannot believe I have reached 300 followers!!!  Technically one of them is my mother and the other my sister-in-law – but still 298 people that are not related to me! Wooohoooo!  I feel the love.
I would like to thank all of you who follow and have helped and inspired me along the way.  I started this blog in January of this year and it has become my favorite hobby.  I have to say, Deanna Jump was my inspiration.  I bought her penguin unit with a link to her blog.  I checked out Mrs. Jump’s Class and a whole new world was opened for me.  From her blog, I found so many more great ones to follow.  How could I resist joining in the fun!

My next book for Scholastic (20 Super Spelling Centers) is due in a few weeks.  I am going to dedicate it to “All of my teacher friends in blog land.”

🎂Happy 20th Birthday @teacherspayteachers ! I hav 🎂Happy 20th Birthday @teacherspayteachers !

I have been with TpT since 2008!  I remember looking for a place where I could share my computer created resources with other teachers without having to set up my own website.  TpT was suggested.  I started off with a few Microsoft Word created resources 😬. At the time, the founder of TpT, Paul and his brother Dana, were single-handedly running things. I loved getting their newsletters.

In 2009 I was in a NY times article for TpT about who owns the copyright to teacher’s lesson plan ideas…the schools or the teachers.  This was not the article the author or editors told me I would be in, but that is another story! 

I stuck with TpT and creating resources and then in 2011, the site really took off and I met all these other amazing teacher-authors and finally met Paul in real life! 

As a single homeowner on a teachers salary, I worked nights and weekends on TpT resources just to be able to afford to live in my little house.  Then something amazing happened, my hard work paid off and I was able to get myself some breathing room.  I am so grateful for TpT for giving my life purpose and financial freedom back in those days.  Even though I am married now, I am so proud of myself for being able to own that little house (I still have it and rent it out) and buy my forever home in my dream neighborhood all by myself.

So many of you found out about TpT and so many more sellers joined.  It truly became the open market place that Paul envisioned all those years ago. 

TpT is still a big part of my life all these years (and hair colors) later.  I know when I eventually retire from teaching, I will be able to do TpT full time.  I love creating and sharing resources (880 and counting) with all of you.
