It’s a Birthday Sale!

Today is my daughter’s birthday, so I’m having a sale so that all of you can celebrate with us!!

Birthday Sale byElaineG@TheSchoolhouse

She’s officially entered adulthood, so this special day couldn’t go by without some sort of celebration.  As she turns 18, I’m offering 15% off all my products in both of my stores!!  The sale will run 25-27 September (ends at midnight).

Favorite Things: August

This month’s Favorite Things is sort of hard for me.  The topic is “Apps for a Flipped Classroom”.  Since it doesn’t apply to me and I only have a Kindle, I’m just going to go with my “favorite apps”.

This month, the subject is “best things about the start of the school year”.  It’s a little harder since I’m not in a classroom setting, but I still do teach my religion class and homeschool.  So, here’s my Top 10 based on those experiences….

I’m going to be so lost when CSI ends in September!!  I can’t wait for the original cast to be back together though.  I’m very thankful for DVD’s too.  We watch several shows on DVD that aren’t on tv any more or even some of the current ones too.

There’s many things planned for this week.  Some things may be delayed or even deleted depending on what life throws at me this week (and there is a holiday in there).  I promise to do my best though and 2 things are a certain…..a sale at The Schoolhouse on TPT and the giveaway here on the blog.  Here’s a schedule of what’s planned….

Monday (6/29) – 20% off sale on every product at The Schoolhouse store BEGINS, giveaway on blog BEGINS

Tuesday (6/30) – Flash Freebies on The Schoolhouse FB page (8-10pm Central)

Wednesday (7/1) – List a new product at The Schoolhouse on TPT for 25% off for 24 hours

Saturday (7/4) – Flash Freebies on The Schoolhouse FB page and/or Twitter

Sunday (7/5) – Giveaway on blog ENDS (at midnight) and winner announced

I only ask a couple of things of you during this celebration.  The first is to have a good time and enjoy the celebration.  The second thing is to be sure to leave feedback for any products that you get whether purchased or freebies, and to support the great sellers helping with the giveaway by leaving them feedback or purchasing from them the next time you need something.  That’s it!!

Here’s the 2 main links that you’ll need for this week, in addition to keeping updated on this blog….
