Dare to Dream! #TpTSellerChallenge

This week's #TpTSellerChallenge is DARE TO DREAM!! 

I definitely have big dreams for my TpT journey, and without further ado...

> Student Loans: seem to be a pretty common thread throughout the TpT dreams I've seen...I went to a private college for undergrad, which left me with a sizeable chunk of student debt. I'd love to see TpT help me pay those off faster!

> Travel!!: another TpT Dream Theme! I would love to go to Vegas for the TpT/I Teach 2nd conferences and I'd LOVE to do an educator training at the Ron Clark Academy. Other than traveling for teaching, I want to see so many places in this world! I'm dying to visit some friends down in New Orleans, and my biggest travel dream is Australia!! I've gotta see the Great Barrier Reef up close!

> Give: I'd love to give more to so many different organizations and people. So many. I hope that one day, TpT can help me do that!

> Someday: I'm a youngin'. I'm only 26. I have some savings, but I would love to see my TpT ventures to help me grow my future. I'd love to buy a house, have my dream wedding, go on an incredible honeymoon, and even be able to stay home with kids for a while. (I could never go full-time TpT-at-Home-Mom! I give SO much credit to those who do!)

This challenge has DEFINITELY lit a fire somewhere inside me! My creative juices are flowing, I'm working hard, and I've edited and added quite a few things to my store in the last week or so! THANK YOU Jen, Amber, Emily & Ashley for hosting this challenge, and helping to inspire me!! :o)

TpT Seller Challenge Week 1: Makeover Madness!!

So if you haven't heard, the fabulous ladies from Sparkling In Second Grade, Peppy Zesty Teacherista, Third in Hollywood, and Teach, Create, Motivate are hosting the coolest challenge around this summer - The TpT Seller Challenge! This is EXACTLY what I need to get myself on the path I want to be on with blogging and TpT, so here it goes!

Week 1 was MAKEOVER WEEK! Everyone loves a good makeover...especially my first, sad little TpT products. The very first things I added were my fonts! Munchkin Print was the very first one, and I thought this was just the best thing on the internet when I added it!

Since then, I've created SO MANY THINGS, be it fonts, or resources for my classroom. Whether I put them on TpT or not, I have learned a TON, and I've come a looooooong way!

So for #makeovermadness, I bundled all of the fonts I've made (there are seven of them) and re-vamped how they're displayed!

 My snazzy new cover! I love using photos in my covers!
(Click cover to download the fonts!)

I love the clean-cut look of it all now!!

The Before:

+ Varied colors

+ Not uniform

+ Individual downloads

The After:

+ Snazzy, eye-catching cover

+ Uniform previews

+ Bundled download

What do you think?! :o)

This has DEFINITELY gotten my creative juices flowing, and I think there are more makeovers in my future! Not only that, I have ideas FLYING around my brain for next year...! (What else would a teacher do on her first day of summer break!?)

Amber, Jen, Emily, and Ashley, thanks for such an awesome challenge!! I'm loving it so far! Can't wait to see what else is in store!!

The Sunday Scoop!

I'm linking up with The Teaching Trio's Sunday Scoop Today!

I HAVE to do the standard Sunday things....cleaning, grocery shopping and laundry! Yuck!

I HOPE to read a little bit down at the beach! But considering it's almost 6 PM, I don't think the beach is looking too good :o( I DID get some new summer reading this week though!!

SUPER pumped to dig into these! :o)

I HOPE to get to bed early! Friday was draining for me (last day with my kiddos!) and I've had an amazing weekend, but I hope to get to bed early before my LAST DAY (teacher work day/EOY meetings) before summer!! 

Happy Sunday!
