Birthday Giveaway Week Day 3

Welcome to Day 3 of Birthday Giveaways! My birthday fell on the first day of school yesterday so I'm celebrating all week with giveaways!

Today I have another $10 e-gift certificate to Amazon.com.

How can you go wrong?? Ever since I got Amazon Prime I order from them about twice a month. On my current wishlist I have this to read, this for fun, these that I wish were black instead of blue, and this because I have the author's other book and I'm intrigued.

I found this on Pinterest but it only links to a photo. This is such a good idea, especially for me! I might need bigger drawers though...  ;)

A Collection of Testing Treats from Happy Home Fairy

These are so cute! I teach second grade so we don't take our state tests. However, these would be cute for the first day of school! Our school also has "Testing Buddies" where the primary classes adopt an intermediate class during state testing time and make motivational posters, notes, treats, etc.

Tomorrow I start school AND it's my birthday! Tuesday-Friday I will be posting some giveaways so you'll definitely want to follow my blog!

Self-Portrait Cards from Inchmark
