It’s Time for the Winner!

I want to start by thanking everyone who entered the giveaway for the $10 gift card to TpT.  I appreciate you checking out my page, following me and leaving a comment.  I really love warm weather, so it was fun to read everything that you have planned for the Spring ahead!

Don’t forget that my sale on TpT is still going on.  Everything is 20% off until 28 February and tomorrow, 27 February, you can still use code TICKTOCK for an extra 5% off.  Now is the perfect time to get all the resources that you’ll need for Spring!

And now, it’s time to announce the winner!

 

Time for a Winner

Congratulations Christina!  You were the first to enter, so that really worked for you!  Enjoy your gift card and I’ll be sending it in a few minutes.  Please let me know that you received it.

 

UPDATE:  Christina, I’m not able to send the gift card to you.  It’s coming back as “undeliverable” and saying that the e-mail address does not exist.  Please e-mail me at army_family_ok@rocketmail.com by 3pm (CST) so that I can get this to you!!  If I don’t hear from you by that time, I’ll have to pick another winner so that there’s an opportunity to use it during the sale.

It’s Time for a Sale….and a Giveaway

That’s right, it’s time for a sale and a giveaway! It’s the prefect time because Spring is in the air. Alright, I realize that not so all over the country, but this girl sure is happy that the sun is out and the days are getting longer with nice temps during the day. I love warm weather!

First off, let’s talk about the giveaway! There are 4 possible ways to enter and you can do one or all of them for your chance to win a $10 gift card to TpT. The ways to enter are….

  • Visit (and follow) me at The Treasured Schoolhouse on Facebook
  • Tweet about the giveaway
  • Follow me (SchoolhouseLife) on Twitter
  • Leave a blog post comment for:  Spring is just around the corner. What are you most looking forward to?

The giveaway ends at 12am on 27 February. I will do a blog post with the winner shortly after that and send the gift card via e-mail to the winner within 24 hours (but it’s always way less).

Now, let’s talk about the sale! Everything at The Treasured Schoolhouse is on sale for 20% off. It’s going to be 25-28 February. You can use code TICKTOCK for an extra 5% off 26 & 27 February. That’ll make the total discount 25% off! Lent starts next week and Easter is just around the corner, so grab the materials that you need now. I also have some resources for St. Patrick’s Day, which isn’t that far off either! You can just click the banner to be taken to The Treasured Schoolhouse on TpT….

Now for something that I wish I didn’t have to say, but it must be done because of my last giveaway. I had many enter the giveaway and say that they had done certain things and upon checking, they hadn’t done any of them. Please follow the rules and follow through and do what you say that you’ll do for your chance to win. I mean honestly if you say you leave a comment, I can clearly see if you do or not and I can see if you tweet something. So please, let’s keep is honest and fair so that we ALL can have fun! That said, you can enter the giveaway here….

Recover a Lost Blog Post

Have you ever done a blog post and then lost it?  There’s number reasons why one might lose their blog post.  I just had it happen to me recently and the reason why was because I had to do a restore of my blog.  That’s fine in itself, but I went back further than that particular blog post date.

Here are a couple tips in case you ever need to recover a blog post:

Post Revisions

The first method is to check your post revisions.  If your blog post is there, you should be able to go back and look at the revisions.  Select the revision that you want and save your blog post.

RSS Feed

Check your RSS feed to see if it’s saved there.  You could find the whole post, which you could copy/paste into a “new” post.  Save it at the original post date and time.  When I lost my post I tried this, but all my feeds (Bloglovin’, RSS Reader, and another one) only had excerpts of my post.

Newsletter

Do you send a newsletter to your subscribers?  If so and it contains your blog posts, you just might be in luck.  You can copy/paste it from there, then save it with the original time and date.  Unfortunately for me, my newsletter is set-up with my RSS feed but it only shares excerpts in the newsletter.

Archive

Check out a site like the Wayback Machine  to see if your blog or post is archived there.  Unless you have a popular blog, you likely won’t find it here.

Cache

This was my last resort and what finally worked!  If you know the URL of your lost blog post, type it into the Google search.  Click on the drop arrow and select “cached”.  If it was saved, hopefully you’ll find it here.  I found my complete post, so I did a copy/paste into a new blog post.  I then dated it to the original time and date and saved.  

I hope that you never “lose” a blog post, but if you do, maybe this will help!  Most of these procedures can also work on lost blog or site pages as well.

Christmas for Subscribers

It’s been awhile, but I have a new FREEbie for subscribers!  This one is just on time for the holidays.  It could be used in the classroom in a math center or at home. 

cover with Santa frame and elf for "Christmas Roll & Cover BUMP Game 

This FREEbie is a roll & cover that uses 1 to 3 dice.  For some, the number rolled will be covered, but for others the player will have to add or subtract.  This also makes a fun game of BUMP!

In order to get this FREEbie, you have to subscribe to my blog.  You get a newsletter each time that I have a new blog post and I do a special e-mail from time to time.  I will never spam you, as I don’t like that in my inbox either!  The password for the Subscriber ONLY page is in every newsletter.  If you’d like to subscribe, simply go to the “Home” page or sign-up in the sidebar on the right side.

Advent: New and Revised

Are you ready for Advent? Tomorrow is the first Sunday of Advent for 2018. If you haven’t yet prepared your lesson or activities, I might be able to help!

Advent candles - hope peace joy love

First, I’ve updated my 2 previous Advent Activity Packs.  I’ve revised them so that all the color purple is now violet and pink is now rose.  It’s a fairly minor change, but I wanted them to be modernized with the colors that we now call them and they’re the same through all the resources now.

I’ve created a new Advent Activity Pack for this year.  It’s the 3rd installment!  This one has a “My Advent Reflections” book that the kids or even adults can note their reflections for each Sunday or week of Advent.  There are 2 to write on with differenciated lines for various ages/grades.  There is also one to draw on.  It also includes a worksheet and 5 puzzles….and they all have an answer key!  

This pack is also comprised of 22 word wall cards and 2 blank for you to add words of your own.  Some of the ways to use these cards are to just display them during a lesson, write sentences using the words, write the room, and many other uses.  A few of the words included are coming, hope, liturgical year, Advent, rose, and more!

The best part about this?  I’ve combined all 3 Advent Activity Packs into a bundle at more than 20% off the individual resource price.  Is there anything better?  Yes, there is!  You can use coupon code ADVENT to get an additional 10% off the bundle and the individual packs (in case you don’t want to purchase the bundle).  Oh, and as an added bonus, I’m including the Advent Write the Room and the O Antiphons Poster and Activity Pack in the coupon discount and it doesn’t expire until 24 December!

Site Update is Complete

It’s been an interesting procces, but I think the site update is complete!

I’ve worked and reworked many areas of the site.  I hope that it helps you navigate the site easier and makes it accessible to find whatever you’re looking for.  I also hope that it makes reading the blog simpler and even added ease in viewing the Shop.

The biggest change is probably how clean and streamlined the new look is.  There’s less moving parts and clutter that I feel like were preventing you all from enjoying your time here.  I’ve always wanted the site to look fresh and I think I managed that, as well as making it nice and modern. 

The sidebar is cleaner and clearer with all the extras removed and making it easier as to what you’re clicking.  There’s also a menu at the top and the bottom of the page now so that you can navigate the site between the blog, Shop, and other areas in a painless way!

I don’t want to bore you with all the details.  I’m pretty happy though and I taught myself even more code.  That always gets interesting!  Take your time and browse around, take a look at the different areas of the site, and let me know what you think!  If you find something not working properly or hard to use, please let me know so that I can fix it or find another method.  Thanks for all your patience and I hope that you enjoy your time at The Treasured Schoolhouse even more!
