Advent Calendar Swap Button

--------------------------------------------------------------------


On October 15th (anniversary day!!), I hit 500 followers. I cannot believe the amount of support I have from the blogging community and I have to say, I love love love this journey I've been on! I have met some of the most amazing friends, received some fantastic items from swap partners, and realized that this is something I am meant to be doing :)

SO, I've asked a bunch of my bloggy friends to help me celebrate! Not only was I sooo overwhelmed with the amount of support for this giveaway, but I have the best mentors/bloggy friends in the entire world. I'm convinced. And once you see this giveaway, you will be convinced, too!!

The first four giveaways are for all teacher resources from my teaching friends & myself. They have some amazing, amazing, AMAZING things in their TPT/Etsy/TN stores, so make sure you check them out if you haven't already. Not to mention, there's also a few gift cards, ad spaces, and a blog design thrown in, too! In these giveaways, following EACH blog is mandatory before you can unlock the other entries.

The second giveaway is for a 31 ORGANIZING UTILITY TOTE (in your choice of print) from me! I'm having my 31 Party online from November 1st to November 9th! If you'd like to purchase anything, please click this link here - CLICK on My Parties and then go to my party: Sara Ventrella. You are able to get more entries into the second giveaway if you do purchase something of your own - no matter how big or small! This is something I will absolutely be verifying - want to make sure the one who wins actually did what was required & is most deserving of winning the bag! I know I totally appreciate your support no matter what :)

Thank you to each and every participant in this giveaway as well as YOU, my readers, for following along with me each and every day!

Without further ado, the giveaways! PREPARE YOURSELF - THIS IS LONG! But, there's lots of ways to get entries - the more you do, the more entries you earn!

  1. Congratulations on reaching 500 Sara!

    I would be thrilled to win any of the prizes, but my favourite is the fourth giveaway. I would really really like the blog design... at the moment I am attempting to redesign my blog myself, and oh my, it is much more difficult than I anticipated. I can't seem to choose a colour scheme or make a decision on fonts, and I just know Megan would do a terrific job in about a tenth of the time!
