Keep Calm... it's: Monday Made It, Chalkboard Craziness and Freebie Time!

Hi everyone!  I will probably be checking in with some quick "hello's" this week because of this:
Aahhhhhh...One of my favorite spots in the world, right here on the Jersey Shore.  Due to Superstorm Sandy, it's a little more quiet than usual and the beach where we stay is a little bit shorter, but it's still home to us.

This is my first summer as a blogger, so there is some teasing going on as to why I am "working" down at the beach! But if you know me, you know that my "happy hour" is around 5 am - peace, quiet and uninterrupted work...made even more enjoyable by the sound of the amazing ocean.

Feels good :)  

Perhaps "feeling good" is what inspired me to create these items for  Monday Made It {Thanks 4th Grade Frolics!}

When we are together at the beach, there are A LOT of little girlies around us, so they had a hand in helping out with these cute classroom quotes.    In September, I plan to use them in frames (glass removed)  around my classroom.  I think they will look adorable on top of my bookshelves and I know my kids will love reading them.




Like them?  You know what tomorrow is!!!!

Come back for a chance to win the entire set!  The winners of  last week's T-Shirt raffle will be announced as well!

But wait...there is more- I went a little bit chalkboard crazy for this Monday Made It and have a Daily 5 set for you too.  Here is a look:



Here is the REAL Treat...I know that chalkboard creations are pretty popular right now, and I know what an ink waster they can be..so for this giveaway, you will receive the digital file plus a hard copy (on white card stock) for you to trim and frame for your classroom :)

Since I am feeling pretty chillaxed here, I have to throw in a freebie too! For that, I am linking up with my favorite Monday stop...

  3. I love the posters but cannot download the freebie. I get a message that says I don't have permission. Is there something I need to do?

    1. Thanks Debbie - there is nothing like the beach. It's a little sad to see some of our favorite stores not open because of lack of insurance money. :( I was happy to see how hard people must have been working all winter to get it where it is now... How did Ocean City make out with the storm?
