Five for Friday--B2S Panic, Periscope Ugh, and Dollar Spot Disappointment!

Happy Friday, Friends!

I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs for Five for Friday to give you a peek at my week!

Confession! 

I am an end of the year "stuffer!" I stuff things on these shelves--up and out of the way for the cleaners--instead of putting things where they belong. :(

Every year, I try to talk myself into not being a "stuffer," but it hasn't worked yet. 

I've been seeing all these classroom setup pictures, so I thought I'd go in and just take a peek at what awaited me. I snapped this picture and then RAN away...FAR, FAR away!

#DollarSpotDisappointment

Why, oh why?

This is what awaits me when I go to my closest Target--45 minutes away--after seeing all the great teacher finds on Instagram.

I have to know... 

Does yours look like this?

Do you dig for those golden treasures?

I did buy this at Target. Today I'm busy turning it into a family calendar for a new "command center" project I'm working on at home.

I finished my Monsters Theme Classroom Decor Pack this week!

I love how it turned out--especially this preview!

I made it with Picasa after watching Amy's tutorial (Step into 2nd Grade). It was so much easier than making a collage in PowerPoint! 

I mean, seriously. 

This topic made me sign up for Periscope. 

I still missed it--but thankfully Amy put it on her blog! 

Thanks, Amy!

I have since tried to watch some other periscopes.

I don't like it...at all!

I know it is all the rage, and maybe I'll warm up to it.

But right now, I would much prefer to read it in a blog or watch a video where the presenter (and me) isn't distracted by the hearts and comments. 

Is that awful?

Please, I mean no offense to those who are loving it. 

I can see the interaction part could be fun...

Maybe I'm just too easily distracted!

Moving on... 

My Bugs Theme Classroom Decor Pack is also listed!

This preview was made in PowerPoint...before I knew the Picasa trick. I really like how this one turned out, but it took WAY longer than Picasa.

Last, but certainly not least...

Disclosure: If you are interested in scheduling a "fix," I will receive $25 credit if you use the links in this post--which I would very much appreciate! :-)

I finally did it! 

I scheduled my first Stitch Fix.

I actually signed up for Stitch Fix over a year ago, but I have been too chicken to schedule one!

I know it will be pricey--which scares me--but considering I hate to shop and struggle with fashion, I'm hoping it will be worth it!

I'll let you know how it goes. ;-)

Winners--And Aren't These Monsters Cute???

 Good morning!

Our celebration ended at midnight, so I've been busy picking the winners--and verifying their entries! Thank you to all who participated in our celebration--either through the giveaways, the $1 Deals, or the Facebook games.

The winners are...

Those of you who won the giveaways, your gift cards are on the way! Please let me know when you receive them--and happy shopping!

Our Facebook game had only two participants, so we decided they could both be winners! I'll be getting in touch with you both on FB very soon in order to send you your free requested item.

As for the graphic... I just had to use these monsters from Graphics From the Pond and the paper and frames from Lovin' Lit. These are two of my favorite designers! And Robyn Hyndman's "Maple" fonts are my go to right now! This is the "face" of my next classroom decor pack--Monsters--hopefully listed this week!

Thanks again for being fantastic followers! We appreciate you!
