Never in a million years would I think 1 or 100 people would follow my blog. I still worry about my posts and often think I don't have anything worthy of sharing. I sometimes think y'all might be a little cray cray for following me when there are times I feel as if I can barely keep my head above water in my classroom! =)
But each one of you has blessed me in ways I could never imagine. I am a better teacher because of you and the many awesome blogs out there. I wish I could chat with each of you (on the beach of course) and tell you how much you have touched not only my heart but the heart's of my kiddos. Since I cannot afford to fly us all to the Cayman Islands, please hear me now when I say THANK YOU for being a blessing to my heart!
To show my appreciation I am so happy to share with you this give away. =)
2 lucky winners will each win a prize package worth $100.

Silly girl you should realise that we love what you have to say, you are funny and insightful and your kiddo's are truely blessed to have you as a teacher. I have learnt so much from stalking your blog and copied when someone let me loose on their classroom during my studies. Although in little old NZ religon is not allowed in the classroom (secular education), so much of what you write about I can use and what I cant I learn from. So no dont be amazed cause you earnt every follower with your open sharing blog style. Blog on LOL.
Wow, what an amazing giveaway! Thank you!
Blogging can be scary at times. Sharing ideas or feelings is a big deal and people may not always get where you're coming from (at least, that's the concern). I always enjoy your posts and I look forward to reading more!

Hey Heather! I love your blog! You were my first follower, and then I decided to change my blog name before I really got going. I'd love for you to come follow me again. I am a student and am seeking as much advice from teachers that love their job as I can get!! Any other teachers reading this, please come check me out! I love to see how much you love doing what you do. I think this is what I love about the teaching blogging world. Everyone really does love their job (even though I know it is NOT EASY!) I get very discouraged by the negative comments I get about wanting to teach.
Ok, I think I'm rambling in a comment. LOL! Thanks for being an encouragment to me!
Thank you for a creating such a super blog to follow and for such a wonderful giveaway! I'd love for you to stop by my blog and link up to my linky party called Fun Friday. It is a place to share the fun things that we do in our classrooms!

Hi Heather,
Just wanted to say a heartfelt congratulations - you so deserve everything good that comes your way!
You were so kind to follow my blog when I had hardly any followers and left some kind words for me - I will always appreciate that!

I agree with you; I wish I could meet so many of these people in person! I'm very familiar with blogging, but new to the world of teacher blogging and I love that, just as I should have expected, it's a giant community with many gracious people who are willing to share so much!
Congratulations on your success as a teacher blogger! :)
So, how you were feeling in August 2011 is how I feel now. Thank you for being follower #7 on my blog... I have seen your blog before, but like you, I wasn't big on commenting or getting close to all this blogging action. I'm trying it out now and it made me smile to see you once felt the same way!

Just found your blog. I am currently homeschooling my first grader through a charter school called Connections academy. I'm looking for all kinds of ideas to help with the lessons she's learning.
Hi Heather, you have a very special place on the web! I love all of the creative ideas that you use in your classroom. Congratulations on being my first follower, and my first commenter!! I'm happy to follow you as well, and, I'm grabbin' your button too. ;) Blessings to you.
