Happy 4th of July and Winner Winner!!

Well today was so very hot as I am sure it was for many of you. Not living near the ocean here in Ohio this is the closest we have to a beach....

So we go here. It is a lake about 25 minutes away at one of the State Parks. It's clean and fun and the best price: free.
Did I say the blue dot set would be done today...well gadzooks it isn't. I've been making all of my own backgrounds recently. I am so glad I figured it out so I don't have to worry about licenses and all but the downside is I am still on the slow side. I will have it done soon...maybe tonight.

I used the handy dandy number generator and the "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner" is number 11.

Congrats to Janine over at Faithful In First, you were number 11.
Hope you all had a fabulous July 4th!! Now I am going to go work on those blue dots, lol.

Yellow Word Wall Letters and Giveaway Reminder

If you arrived here via Classroom Freebies Too, I apologize, my previous post to this word wall was deleted by the site administrator because I had mentioned signing up for a great giveaway. Ooops, didn't realize that was a 'no-no'. Here is is again in case you missed it. I had a request for a yellow word wall with larger letters so I am giving it away as a freebie. New Word Wall
I finished a new Classroom Design Collection with a 'Bee' theme. This was a requested set and is 100 pages of items needed to decorate your 'color-themed' classroom with oodles of bees. My 'All About Yellow' set is still free (32 pages) and both are available in my TpT store. Mrs. Messenger's Printables
Here is a preview of the 'Bee' set.

BEE Happy: Classroom Design Collection

I finished my yellow 'BEE' Happy Set tonight and it turned out to be 100 pages. It's very bright and sunny! I am now truly contemplating putting up all new bulletin boards. I really love the yellow and how it is so bright and inviting. I keep a super tidy classroom and I like it to be visually appealing. I always give away one free set every time I make a new one. Please follow my blog and leave a comment below if you would like to be entered to win. I will 'draw' a winner on July 3rd.

I also have a new word wall freebie in my store. It is yellow polka dots (another request item).

Hope you are having a great week and enjoying your summer!!
:) Nancy
