Instagram

Yay, I'm finally on Instagram.  I totally jumped on the Instagram bandwagon late!  I suppose better late than never.  I am still trying to figure it out, though.  For instance, I haven't a clue how the hash tags work. Somebody will have to give me a mini-lesson on hashtags :)  I'm excited to finally have a place to share all the pics I take.  I tend to take tons of pictures, and most of them never make it to my blog.  I'm excited to finally have a place to share them.  I hope everyone's having a great weekend and I hope you will follow me on Instagram. 
Also, I have a few projects in the works.  I will definitely be back to post about them soon!!!

Team Jackson

It's almost Friday and I couldn't be happier.  This has been a busy week and I'm already feeling Friday tired on a Thursday!

This is just a quick post to let you know about a fabulous fundraiser that I'm super thrilled to be a part of.  My bloggy buddy, Dixie, from Teachin' Little Texans started a fundraiser for a friend of hers.  Their little one, Jackson, was just diagnosed with a rare kidney cancer.  My heart broke for their family, and I was ready to jump on board when I heard about this fundraiser.

You can check out the Team Jackson resource by clicking here.  There are 18 products included in the bundle for only $20.  Not only is a great deal, but all the proceeds will go to Little Jackson's family.    My poetry journal is included in the bundle.  If you haven't seen it before,  check it out here.

 
I purchased the Team Jackson resource yesterday.  I was super excited when I peeked at all the goodies included.  There are so many great resources! There are a few I plan to start using right away. In addition, to all of that, Dixie is also having an amazing giveaway on her blog.  If you buy the bundle, you can enter her drawing for $40 in gift cards and access to her TPT store  for LIFE.  Oh my gosh, I'm entering for sure!  I love her products!!!  Check out her giveaway HERE.

Now, how about a FREEBIE?  I thought I'd offer my newest clip art set as a freebie.  This set contains a bunch of different trees.  It seems like I'm always needing a tree for this or that.  So, I thought I'd try my hand at trees.  If you like the totally trees clip art, then be sure to join the giveaway, because you can win the colored version in the giveaway.

Get your FREEBIE by clicking below. It will take you to TPT to download.

You are only half way through the giveaway, so you have lots of time to get your entries in.  Tomorrow, Breanne from Ms. Third Grade will be your host for the next stop.  So, click the owl tomorrow to head on over to Day 7.

Blogging Tip: Join Linky Parties and Blog Hops like this one!!! I'm  always so busy with the hustle and bustle of daily life, that I don't have nearly as much time as I'd like to check out other blogs.  But, with a Linky party or Blog Hop, it will put so many fantastic blogs right at your fingertips.
