We Have A Winner!

I would like to congratulate my two "giveaway" winners...

The winner of the Teachers Pay Teachers $10 gift certificate is

Entry #12, Bonnie from

Congratulations, Bonnie!!! 

The winner of the Amazon $10 gift certificate is 

Entry #9, Emily

(EMpowered)

Congratulations, Emily!!

I numbered each entry and entered the information into the true random number generator on random.org.  I'm still a newbie at all of this, so I couldn't figure out how to copy the results and put them onto my blog!  And, sorry Megan, I did NOT include your entry...you, my dear daughter, were exempt! Haha!!

A sincere thank you to everyone that entered!  I appreciate your support and encouragement!

Now...back to the Pottermore watch!!! (I'm kind of obsessed right now!)

Excuses, WOW, and a Giveaway...

Now, this has been a holiday weekend of broken promises...I know, I know...

I promised to finish the game of "TAG"...haven't done it.  I'm just a really slow runner and then I forgot I was tagged and I still haven't made it back to base!

I promised to get my game ideas loaded into "Free Printables"...haven't done that either. ::hangs head in shame::

My kidults were home (and I spent some money), I've stalked Pottermore (it STILL hasn't opened! AARRGGGHHH!!!) , I've planted my garden ( of which I am so proud!!), and I've cleaned out the fridge (finally...ick!).

But.........WOW..

I have reached 100 followers!!! Yay!!!  I'm so excited...nothing else matters at the moment!!! I am so very grateful that at least 100 people/educators find my blog interesting and helpful!  This has been one of the best personal decisions I have made.  Blogging has opened up a whole new world for me.  I have (inter)met so many people! I have learned so much from all of you!  And, this has challenged me to think up new ideas and put them into action for my quarters.  Because I feel accountable to my followers, my teaching should never go stale!

So...as a big "thank you", I am giving away TWO small gifts.

One winner will receive a $10 online gift certificate to Teachers Pay Teachers to use as you wish.  A different winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to Amazon .

Since I do not sell things on Teachers Pay Teachers, I hope this gift will encourage you to buy from all of the wonderful educators who do have things to sell.

Here are the rules:  You must do 2 of the 3 choices below and then comment and tell me which ones you chose.  Be sure to leave your email address as well!

1.  "Like" Confessions on Facebook.
2.  Become a Confessions follower (if you aren't already).
3.  Follow Confessions on Twitter.

Please be sure to link back to this post on your blog, if you have one!  I will use random.org to choose the winners on Thursday at 8 CST.

Again, thank you so much for being a fan!

A quote is in order...(not Potter, because...well...I'm a little miffed Pottermore is still closed)...
