My First Giveaway!

Hi friends! Thank you so much to all of my peeps for helping me out with this giveaway stuff AND supporting me in my Big Brother obsession by agreeing with me that Brachel, Brenchel, Rachen, WHOEVER are horrible! And, by the way, in case you didn't know, "ain't nothing coming between me and my man!" Ha ha!

BIG NEWS! I am having my first giveaway! Woot Woot! Woop Woop! Hoop Hoop! Hooray! I am thrilled that so many of you have decided to follow me and this teeny tiny blog that is mostly about teaching with a little bit of Reality TV thrown in. I feel like I should really talk about some of the books I am reading (might make me sound smart!) . . . but then I just get off topic because now I'm thinking about The Help and how I can't wait for the movie to come out! If you have not read it, go and get it! Or put it on your Kindle or whatever - it is awesome. And don't even get me started on The Hunger Games! See? I should really just concentrate on one thing at a time.

But this kind of goes together because my Giveaway is a $20 GIFT CARD TO BARNES AND NOBLE!

I wanted it to be for "A Blogger" or "A Teacher" but this was the closest I could get. So you can either go get The Help or The Hunger Games OR . . . go get some new books for your classroom! I have my eye on a couple . . . Fran at Kindergarten Crayons talked about the Knuffle series (which I love but I only have one) and a new one (to me, anyway) called Adventure Annie. I also need to get this book by Leo Leoni:

It shows the kiddos how letters make words which then make sentences, etc. I NEED this book!

So here is how you can enter. I'm going to make this real simple because it IS my first rodeo.
1. Leave me a comment and tell me that you are following me. And if you're not following me, then follow me and leave a comment to tell me that you are now following me. :)
2. Leave me a comment that you put my blog or button on your sidebar.
3. Leave me a comment that you blogged about my giveaway.

That's three chances to enter and you really don't have to do very much, right? I mean, if you're already here, you're probably doing number one already. So that's already a great chance. You're good to go!

You have until midnight on Sunday, July 31st (my momma's birthday!) Pacific Standard time to enter. I will announce the winner on Monday, August 1. Please read the fine print below.

**Must be 18 or over to enter.
**Must be a teacher to enter.
**Must be on summer vacation to enter.

JUST KIDDING!!! But I did want to put a little note that the winner and I will discuss how they want the gift card delivered. We can exchange the little numbers on the back of the card or I can send it to you through insured mail. You'll know why I'm a little freaked out if you read my previous post.

Have a HAPPY WEEKEND! :)
