And the winner is...

Wow! I am so overwhelmed by the response to the Little Green giveaways! Thank you to all those who entered and followed the Little Green store - I'm now up to 124 followers, which is even more reason to celebrate!

So, I know what you are all waiting to hear - was it me? Who won the giveaways?

A big congratulations to Lori Raines, who won the infants giveaway, and Tammy Sapp, who won the primary giveaway! Check your inboxes ladies - you are soon to be inundated with prizey goodness! I'd give you a bunch of flowers to top it off, but as that is a bit impractical, here is a virtual bunch for you:

And for those who didn't win, sorry :( But rest assured: another giveaway is just around the corner, so be sure to watch this space!

Happy Valentines Day for the 14th!

Giveaway! 100 Followers!

It's here! The day has finally arrived for the huge giveaway I have been promising! And the timing could not be more apt. While I am celebrating 100 followers, many of you are gearing up to celebrate 100 days at school - a coincidence, but a very happy one!

To celebrate, I have put together a terrific resource, which is available here.

It contains some terrific resources, games and ideas to make your 100th Day celebration both fun and educational! Be sure to check it out!

Right, now onto the part you're all waiting for: the giveaway!


When I put the word out to some of my fellow TpT store owners that I was coming up to a milestone, I was quite unprepared for the generous donations that followed for this giveaway! The response was so huge, I have split it into two giveaways - one for infants (K-2) and one for primary (3-6). You can enter one or both, and entry is open to anyone with an email address, as the resources are all digital. Here we go!

Well, I have to say I am exhausted from writing this blog post, but I am extremely grateful to all of the wonderful store owners who have donated their products to these giveaways. Be sure to follow the links and check out their stores, and if you buy any of their products (or download their freebies), be sure to leave them some love via feedback!

You'll also be pleased to know that for the next few weeks, the Little Green store will be on sale. So, even if you don't win the giveaway, you can still pick up a bargain!

Right, I'm off to make myself a cup of tea after all that! Good luck in the draw!
