How Many Pennies?

My daughter has been collecting these pennies for several years. Before we took them to the bank, we counted ALL of them!!

How many pennies are in the jar??

Leave your guess in the comments. The person that guesses closest from my blog and all my social media will be able to pick any item from any of my stores/shops. Place your guess by Wednesday, 22 March.

Happy guessing and have fun!!

Shotbox

One of the plans that I have for the upcoming school year is to share more photos of my products in use. I typically post pictures on Instagram or my other social media, but I’d like for you, my readers, to be able to view them as well.

One of the ways that I plan on doing this is by using my Shotbox. Shotbox is a photo light box. It makes taking images of printables and other things so easy!! You can click the ad below to check out the Shotbox and what it does. I might also add that they have some new features coming soon and I’m pretty excited about it!!

Here’s a couple photos that I took with mine, with no prep what-so-ever. I was just playing around and didn’t really set things up for a professional look. You’ll notice that I only used the blue background, but I got a set with other background colors included in it.

This is a model that my hubby built….

Here’s an item in my store, Snowball Fight Kindergarten (Primer) Sight Words. This is a spelling mat and worksheet pack for the winter, but summer is a great time to cool down using it too!! Here’s the photos of it….

The Shotbox can be used with a standard camera, tablet, or cell phone. You can also adjust the amount of light. I just played with it and had a fun, so I can’t wait to do more and really put a little time and effort into using it!!

Be sure to check out the SHOTBOX for your photo light box needs and have some fun too!!

Stock Photos and Images

I’ve been on the hunt for stock photos for awhile. I’ve found some really good free ones, but it’s always tricky with them. Pricing stock photos is outrageous!!

Well, I found a solution for that. Let me introduce you to….

They have an unlimited download plan that is normally over $900, but it’s on sale for $89 right now!! The best part?? It’s for a lifetime!! They have a great selection at StockUnlimited and they’re adding to it. They have easy terms and they can be used commercially. That makes it perfect for me….personal and commercial use!!

There’s also vector images (clipart) available in addition to the photos. So, if you’re looking for great stock photos, grab this deal while you can. Remember, the $89 for a lifetime of unlimited downloads is available at this price for a limited time. Head to StockUnlimited if you’re interested and happy browsing all the great shots!!

UPDATE: Although I was given permission to use these stock photos and vectors for commercial use in the things that I sell, not everyone has received the same answer. It’s still a great deal, but I suggest that if you’re at all interested that you personally contact them with the way you want to use them. After you get a reply, be sure to keep it for your records!!

New Year’s Resolutions

I’m excited to join in this link up….

I don’t typically make resolutions. I just don’t do it and for the most part, I don’t follow through. I’m pretty good at setting goals though and working toward them. So, when I saw this linky, I was looking forward to joining up because I know these are a few of the things that I know I need to work on. My favorite saying and what keeps me striving for more and knowing that making mistakes is alright (and I hope that those around me “get it”)….

With that said, here’s my “resolutions” for 2016….

If you’re interested in seeing other resolutions or even linking up, just visit here….

or here…..

I hope that you all have a very Happy and Blessed New Year and that your “work in progress” continues to grow and learn….and you thrive in 2016!!

I Am Special Activity

Last year, I did a really fun activity with my kids. They loved it then and they really loved it again this year. So, I just had to share!!

In the big open space, they draw a picture of themselves. They need to see what makes them special like the color of their hair, skin, eyes, and so on. Of course, they’re little ones, so they’re far from perfect, but they sure are fun!!

There’s also an area to put stickers down with their name on them or glue letters down. There’s also a blank line for them to write their names. On the side, there’s a cute poem about being unique. Finally, on the side, they can also put their fingerprint under the magnifying glass. Why?? Because each of us has a fingerprint that is unique to only us!! To do this part, we just used an ink pad.

If you’re interested in this activity page, just click to….

Here are some photos my kids in action with this page this year. You’ll notice that I forgot my stickers at home, so we made due and used letter beads!!

Chaparral Animals

My group was working on biomes. This has been really informative and fun. I started posting them before, but got sidetracked. I’m going to be posting these again ever so often to complete all the habitats.

This set is for chaparral animals. This habitat/biome is also known as scrub. I found some new animals that I didn’t know belonged. It’s been educational for me making these! These cards are Montessori inspired and use real images. They can be used for flashcards, 3-part cards, or many other things.

Here’s a thumbnail view of one of the pages with cards….

If you use these cards, have any requests, or just want to let me know how you used them, feel free to leave a comment and let me know. I’d also appreciate it if you’d click the button below to vote for my blog. (You can vote ONCE a day!!) I also have a “contact” button in the right column. I enjoy receiving feedback and I create by the input that I get, so thank you in advance!!

Alpine Animals

My group is working it’s way through each habitat/biome and the animals that live there. This has been really informative and fun. This is the second set of cards in the set that I’m making for each habitat/biome. The first set was for rainforest animals.

This set is for alpine animals. I found some new ones that I didn’t know belonged. It’s been educational for me making these as it is for the kids to use them!! These cards are Montessori inspired and use real images. They can be used for flashcards, 3-part cards, or many other things.

Symbols of the U.S. from A-Z Flashcards

Here’s the second part of the project that I’ve been wanting to do for a while, but just finally got working on it. The first part was a set of 5×7 posters and this is a set of flashcards.

This is a set of flashcards that feature symbols of the United States. There is one for each letter of the alphabet. I did have to get creative with “X”, so please no negative feedback. You can choose not to use it or replace it with something of your choice. These have a few different images than the posters do to add some variety to them!!

There are 4 sets of flashcards. Included is one set each for Zaner-Bloser manuscript and cursive. You’ll also find one set each for D’Nealian manuscript and cursive. They can be identified by ZB or DN in the file name. If it’s cursive, it’ll also include that in the file name.

Here’s a thumbnail view of some of the flashcards….

If you’re interested in these flashcards, just….

I hope that you’ve enjoyed the posters and flashcards featuring the great symbols of the United States. This is one my favorite projects and I regret that it took so long for me to do, but I’m thrilled that they’re now done. If you missed the 5×7 posters, you can find them here.

If you use any of my printables, have any requests, or just want to let me know how you used them, please leave a comment and let me know. I’d also appreciate it if you’d click the button below to vote for my blog. (You can vote ONCE a day!!) I also have a “contact” button in the right column.

I plan on having a set of flashcards similar to these in the next couple of days. That way, in a smaller size, there will be more uses for them and they could also be used for games.
