Last Five for Friday of February!

Happy Friday!



Ummm can you say TPT sale?!  I love when TPT has site wide sales because not only do I see a fun little spike in my sales but it is a great reason for me to shop too!  So how did you all do?  I have to say this time around I went a little overboard. Ha-Ha  A few things I was really excited about came from Sonya-Dehart-Designs.  Have you browsed this shop?!  It is full of great finds and her sale was rockin'.  Here are two of the sets I bought from her shop and each one cost just $0.95!  Go check her out!

I know it's kinda early but I finished up this little Easter bag a few weeks ago and thought I'd share it all with you today.  Click the picture below to download it from my store. 



Did you know that Kelly Malloy from An Apple for the Teacher is having not one but THREE super giveaways!  Be sure to hop on over to her blog (which is awesome by the way) and enter!  I am offering a winner's choice gift for the K-2 winner. :)



 This week I took some time and cleaned house on Pinterest.  I have to a admit that when I started on TPT I went into the forums and joined pinning parties like crazy!  It wasn't until jus a few weeks ago that I realized this was doing nothing for me!  My boards were becoming filled with product covers, many of which are not things I would have pinned normally and then to my knowledge I found out that many times my pins were just being put on boards that no one visited.  So I literally have been spending time deleting and cleaning up.  I even stopped many of the collaborative boards I had originally joined because they were filled with mush!  So now I'm back to real pinning and it feels good.  But to be quite honest I really don't know much about pinning and how to truly use it for marketing so that's something I'll be working on.  If you want to check out my boards and follow along click below.




And in baby news I am thrilled to announce that we found out...

During the scan she was so precious.  I just wish I could see her everyday.  So in Love!

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

  3. Congratulations on your little girl!!! How exciting! I am so glad you talked about pinterest and what you've been pinning. I am so behind the times that I just found out about collaborative pin boards...I don't know where I've been! I would love to hear what works for you and what you've realized doesn't work! Hope you're having a great weekend!

    1. Hi Jayme! I just did a small post about what has and hasn't worked for me so far so be sure to check it out. I still feel like a newbie with all this stuff and am still learning too! Hope it helps! Happy Monday!

  4. Oh your thoughts on Pinterest is music to my ears! I just started really watching the forums and I was wondering if there was any noticeable difference in your TPT store or blog! I always see those posts and was tempted to join in but I think I am going to pass! There not my style! Ha!

    Those papers are precious! I might have to go look for my next TPT purchase!

    1. Ha Ha Lindsey I have to admit for awhile I really thought all that crazy pinning (of covers) was doing me some good. But, when I stopped a few weeks ago I actually noticed more pinning of my actual pins and have gained some new followers too. I still have a lot to learn though about how to really use Pinterest as a marketing tool but atleast now my feed is full of more quality pins than it was. :) And thank you so much for the congrats! We are thrilled. Have a great week!
