SUNDAY SALE and Pink Slips

Greeting card by NeatThings $4.50

Happy Sunday!

So I got my official Pink Slip on Friday. My school corporation is eliminating my position as an Art teacher since our corporation is having financial troubles. The slip was not even pink!!! It was white. BOO....

I am hopeful still that it does not pass on the board vote or that one of the art teachers will retire, but in light of recent events, I am having a "I Just Got Pink-Slipped SALE" today.

With ANY purchase of Rainbow Crayons, you may choose 2 Rainbow Crayons of your Choice for FREE to include with your purchase. Jumbo or Mini, any style.

Today till Midnight. Enter code: BLOG with the crayons you would like to take advantage of this sale.

I am hoping that I can be one of the "Quit Your Day Job" success stories. Not necessarily for Etsy's home page, but in general so I am financially ok if this job cut passes. There are so many schools going through this right now, so few positions will come up between now and the start of the year. Is anyone else reading going through this or how is your state doing education wise?

I feel bad for the kids because "they" are saying... "It is best for the students.." What? To not have art, music, or PE? To not have councilors at schools? At least my corporation is not cutting specials across the board, but that does not help my situation...

I am in great spirits despite the news. I am just so darn ready for warm weather in Indiana and for my Spring Break Cruise!

Anyways... check out the newest Rainbow Crayons in my shop (with some new Jumbo Flower ones to pop up today or tomorrow). My favorite for Easter are the Jumbo Bunny Rainbow Crayons!

CONTESTS, GIVE-A-AWAYS, and BOGO!

Happy Sunday everyone! I am enjoying my last week and a half before going back to school! Students start soooo early this year (Aug. 10th!). My husband starts school a week before that even. It is crazy!

Hi everyone! I am showing my "face" again (check out the cool stuffies from desirapesta).

Wow... what a busy and crazy month it has been. For those wondering where I had gone or if I am doing better, I am back and much better now. Many of you helped contribute when I was in need and it helped a ton. I was able to give back to a few shops myself once things settled down.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ETSY! 

Today Etsy is 3 years old, so I am having a Happy Birthday Etsy SALE!

With ANY purchase today, you will receive either a free Rainbow Crayon or any Gocco Print of your choice from my shop! This is TODAY ONLY...

My Rainbow Crayons have been all over Etsy, but you may be less familiar with my Gocco. Here are just a few examples of my Gocco prints from my shop...

Fish Family Gocco

Paisley Ann Gocco

I'm Yours Gocco Greeting Card

This offer does include my Gocco ACEOs as well.

SO COOL STUFF!

In other Etsy news and finds.... I bought some amazing lip balm today from Etsian KreatedbyKarina. She needs to pay some medical bills for her daughter ($600 worth ASAP) and I have always loved her shop, so I figured now would be an awesome time to purchase from her. It is always fun to help out a fellow Etsian!!!

Here is what I bought from her. They sound very yummy!

Pina Colada Lip Balm

Vanilla Frosting Lip Balm

She even has a Lip Balm of the Month Club for $24.00! Who couldn't use that. I know I am always losing mine, so at least I would have another next month!

She is also offering FREE SHIPPING till the 20th because of the YART SALE going on around Etsy. Make sure you enter "YART" in the message to seller when purchasing from her.

Pictured below is her Rose Petal Soap. How unique!

Please take the time to support her and her cause if possible!
