Who Doesn't Need This? Giveaway

Can you use a $10 Dollar General Gift Certificate?  How about some awesome Proctor and Gamble products?  
I thought so! Read on!

In celebration of educators everywhere, Dollar General is teaming with Procter & Gamble to honor our nation's schools and teachers who make a difference in the lives of children through its Every Day Heroes program .  The Every Day Heroes campaign honors educators who teach students to be their best by offering great savings on school supplies and other products for the heroes closest to our hearts.

Dollar General has a strong commitment to education through the Dollar General Literacy Foundation and believes learning to read, earning a GED or learning the English language are investments that opens doorways for personal, professional and economic growth.

During September, Dollar General is recognizing Kimberly Shearer, an English teacher and library science teacher at Boone County High School in Florence, Ky., as its Every Day Hero.  As an eight-year veteran of Boone County High School, her commitment to educating our youth and advocating for 21st century literary skills through the use of technology helped earn her the title of "Kentucky Teacher of the Year."  When she is not busy helping her students succeed, Kimberly is spending time with her husband and two daughters.


You can learn more about this wonderful program and in the September P&G brandSAVER® found in local newspapers. You can use P&G brandSAVER® coupons at Dollar General to get high-quality P&G products at great prices. I love to use Febreze Air Effects with Gain Fresh Scent, which sweeps away stale odors and leaves a fresh scent at the end of the day.

*       A $10 Dollar General Gift Card

Made it Monday (Sort of)

I'm joining Made it Monday to showcase a few really neat items I purchased from some talented ladies on Etsy.  Okay……I won't link up since I didn't make any of these items.  But I had fun buying them!

This adorable T-Shirt was made for me by Carla from Sewing Sassy.  Oh, how I love it!  The colors just POP and the owl is precious.  Click here to see all the designs that Carla offers!



 When I saw this custom rubber stamp, I had to have it.  I will be teaching language arts this year and have had many teacher-friends donate books to build my class library.  I was blessed to receive about 150 books!  Writing my name in all of them would be a tedious task.  My problem is solved with this stamp made for me by Little A Designs.  The best part is it matches my owl theme!   Awesome!


How do you like my snappy mouse pad? When things have my name on it, they are less likely to walk away.   It was a gift from my dear friend, Megan, and her Etsy shop, A Bird in Hand Designs.  I love this combination of orange chevron and a pink stripe.  Check it out and pick up a monogrammed koozie, too!



On another subject, I have never started this late getting my classroom ready.  I have not stepped one foot in the door and we go back to work on Monday.  After spending the last four weeks helping my parents move from Ohio to Florida, my non-school, to-do list is very long.  I want to blink my eyes like Jeannie and have my classroom instantly look like this.  I know……I'm dreaming'!

Stay tuned!

C. Jayne Teach

Every once in a while something really awesome appears in your world that you just have to share. Meet.........


"C" is for Chandra.  We have never met, but our mom's have a connection, which is how I discovered Chandra. I love her blog, but today she launched her full website and shopping hub.   The simplicity and crispness of C. Jayne Teach.com is refreshing. It is laid out beautifully and her products are first class.  

The shop at C. Jayne Teach features an all-in-one teacher resource called the Teacher Anchor.  It is unique as it is intended to simplify your teaching day so you are able to leave school on time to be with the important ones in your life.....your family.  The prospect of leaving on time makes me giddy, as it usually take a minor miracle to get me out of school before 5:00.  Another awesome feature of the Teacher Anchor is that you always have access to a free printable library which allows you to print extra pages or other forms you may need.  Genius!  Here is a video from Chandra that explains it perfectly.


The best part is that C. Jayne Teach is currently having a Teacher Anchor Giveaway!  Click the previous link or the picture below to enter.
