I read your post and was so bummed thinking there might be one less resource for me. Don't give up on blogging yet. Give teachers a chance to recooperate from the beginning of the year.<br />Also, I wasn't able to sign up for the giveaway. Our district hasn't started Common Core yet. I didn't want to win something I can't use right away.<br />Anyway, hang in there.Laura V. ~ A Grace-Filled Classroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302809406320085815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713111447258486540.post-58868410869137198132012-09-10T18:29:17.618-07:002012-09-10T18:29:17.618-07:00Hi Heather!

I am coming off of a really bad personal and professional year and have been super busy. Now I have found you, and have added you to my list of blogs I follow. I teach 2nd grade and I bet you've got tons of great ideas to share. Sorry I missed your giveaway. Never give up. Without hope, we have nothing.<br />LOVE<br />Debbie<br /><br />PS~Am thinking about possibly starting the whole bloggy thingy but haven't created any TPT materials of my own.

Now that school is in session I barely have time to visit blog land. I found your post through SOS-Supply since I follow Sue. When some of the people I follow have giveaways, freebies, or just a post they really want to share, they send messages to their followers. I get messages on Notebook and TpT. Maybe you should send out a quick message to your store followers so they will know. Surely it will bring you more traffic. <br />Good Luck!<br />MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11391940905256726562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713111447258486540.post-16287400734877118832012-09-09T20:52:33.018-07:002012-09-09T20:52:33.018-07:00I do follow you and read all your posts.

I think it's just the beginning of the year slump, when everyone's going back to school and doesn't have as much time to blog-stalk. I know that, for me, giveaways are going by the wayside because I just have less time to read blogs lately, and I'd rather spend the time reading content. (With switching grade levels, I need all the ideas I can get right now! :)<br /><br />I promise that I'm a reader, though- and I really enjoy following your blog.

But I also remind myself that I also started the blog for myself, as a way to record my teaching life. Sometimes my post are for others and sometimes they are just for myself. You never know if you are going to reach anyone or not, but you shouldn't give up. :)<br /><br />Casey<br /><a href="http://secondgrademathmaniac.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Second Grade Math Maniac: Pencil Sharpener Giveaway!</a>Casey Wigginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01087820831140350394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713111447258486540.post-18047776509048085852012-09-09T16:32:20.798-07:002012-09-09T16:32:20.798-07:00I'm sure it will get better.

It's 2 months later and I'm still waiting. HA!HA! I just look at it as if I'm a perpetual 20 something. Teachers are in a frenzy this time of year and hardly have time to breathe.

If you want to try another giveaway, I have a series called Giveaway Goddess Gossip where I can highlight your giveaway and send some traffic your way. I remember my very first giveaway and I was in the same boat, but don't let it get you down. Your purpose in the blog world has been pre-determined by Him, so if reaching tons of followers is not on the agenda, don't stress. I see some blogs reach zillions of followers in a few months, the same amount that I have after 2 faithful years of blogging! It is what it is and I don't get upset anymore. Blogging buddies are the best buddies I have ever made and I wouldn't trade this experience for anything. Your blog is amazing and I am glad that I found you!<br /><br />faithfulinfirst.blogspot.comJaninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10953696469072686797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713111447258486540.post-68166354012351504812012-09-09T15:59:49.100-07:002012-09-09T15:59:49.100-07:00Hey there girlie!!
