A TPT Sellers Journey and Thank You!


My jaw dropped the last time I checked my sellers dashboard! It's absolutely amazing to think that 10,000 items I have created are being used by teachers all over the world!

My dear friends and followers, I thank you for supporting me on this roller coaster of a journey! I posted my first store item, several years ago, never thinking I would actually even sell it! My store name was created on a whim, and I've often thought of changing it, but now it is part of me! My TPT business has grown and blossomed thanks to all of you. It is now a second job and I devote several hours every evening, after teaching all day, to creating and improving items available at my store.

When I say "roller coaster", it's because it hasn't always been an easy road. I have had my share of frustrations over remarks left in feedback after being so proud of a creation (which were hard not to take personally). I've made some occasional seller mistakes as all newbies do, and have also had quite a few hiccups in item sales along the way! Sometimes I feel like my plate is so full it is spilling over onto the ground and that there isn't enough time in the day to be the seller and blogger I aspire to be, but your support, friendship and encouragement keeps me plugging along and here I am! 

I don't often share personal information on my blog, but as a busy single parent "bringing home the bacon, frying it up in a pan" and raising a teenager to become a fine young man (proud mom moment), this bit of extra income has been a blessing. It has enabled me to work a second part-time job without leaving my only child home alone, to keep and maintain my beautiful home that was built on a two-person income and be able to provide for my child with the little "extras" that he deserves. For this, I will forever be grateful to you and to TPT! 

This giveaway has ended. 







Hugs to all of you for helping me celebrate!
 You're the best! :)
