Dream Big

I've been trying to participate in the TPT Seller Challenge. So far, I haven't done much because the the first project was the revamp old covers of products with new clipart and font styles. I just posted my products of TPT for the first time a week before the challenge so I skipped that one out. For the second week's challenge we are suppose to share our big dreams and goals for TPT. As a new (almost) teacher TPT is a great asset both as a buyer and a seller. 

Mac Book: I was pretty honest about my goals and dreams for TPT. Something I have wanted since I started college in 2009 is a Mac. I started out with a Dell which crashed after 2 years {SHOCKER} and thought then would be a good time to upgrade to a Mac, however I didn't have the $ to support the dream so instead I got a Sony cheapo pink laptop. Surprisingly, it has held up pretty well for the past 4 years as far as not crashing, memory, ect... BUT it is falling apart on the outside and being held together with clear tape! Eeekk. So, any income earned from TPT is currently going in my Mac fund account!

Future Home: My husband and I have been married almost 2 years (in August) and we've been renting an apartment in both locations where we have lived. We we like to have about a 20%-30% down payment ready when we decide to buy a house. Thanks to Dave Ramsey we are on a great path! Any extra income from TPT is going in the Home fund. I want a nice home where we can raise children and enjoy family time. 

Family Vacations: Just incase you didn't know... I LOVE all things DISNEY!!!! I love the characters, the magic, the adventure, and the feeling of being able to be in a place where wonderful things happen! Fun Fact: I actually never even got to visit Disney until I got married! We spent 3 days there as part of our Honeymoon (yes, I have a wonderful husband). I would love to be able to save towards a family vacation for our immediate family (Our kids, Grandparents, and Us) to go on a Disney vacation fully funded by TPT. I'm talking full 7 day vacation at a Disney resort, with dining plan, fast passes, dinners with Disney Characters, the princess makeovers, plane tickets, souvenirs, ect... all funded by TPT. I know it's a big dream but isn't  it Disney where they say "All you dreams will come true"?? :)

New Disney Decor Pack!

It's been awhile since I've written on the blog... but, I'm going to try to start blogging more often. I spent most of this year subbing long term for maternity leaves while I'm trying to get my Indiana License. This year I spent 3 months in 1st grade and 5 months in 2nd grade. While subbing I started thinking about  how I would want my own classroom to be decorated. Since I'm a huge DISNEY fan, I'm thinking a Disney theme is necessary. I bought my clipart from ClipArtopia and got started on a Classroom  Theme Decor Set. Here are a few sneak peaks and a list of what is included!

All Letters included A-Z

Andy's Room Theme Tens Frames 1-20

13 Shape Posters
