Currently & more

SO if you haven't noticed...
I AM AT ONE THOUSAND followers
HOLLA
actually I am a little over 1000
but who is counting
right???
Yeah RIGHT!!!
(raising my hand) ME ME ME I am counting!!!
well in honor of my
ONE THOUSAND
I am teaming up with Troy Decoff
for an AMAZING give away!!!
WHO IS TROY?

well he is the brains behind the BESTEST EVA
pencil sharpener around!!!!



I recently got one and I am in LOVE
forget the electric ones I have
and I have 3
and I have those SUPER $$$$ ones too
and you know they only last about oh
MAYBE a year
MAYBE?!?!
and if some brainiac shoves in a PINKY pencil and
then you have to unplug the sharpener to get the pencil out
and then shove a straightened paperclip into the eraser
to manipulate the pinky pencil out
I am a teacher NOT Mc Gyver

or you might have that precious ding a ling that
puts in a colored pencil
(even though you have said NO COLORED PENCILS in the electric sharpeners)
and the soft lead gets all stuck in there
and then you have to push in a fresh pencil
REALLY HARD to try to force out the soft lead

NO WORRIES
with Troy's sharpener!!!!

anyways I LOVE THIS pencil sharpener...
not only is it SUPER cute BUT
it is a little QuIrKy too AND
it is also way teacher friendly!!
colored pencils and pinky pencils included

the kids LOVE it too
I put it out on Friday
and if I charged my kids a quarter for every time they sharpened their pencils
I would have like a bajillion bucks
OK maybe $33
but they really liked it too!!!

Well I contacted Troy and
being the AWESOME guy that he is
(did I mention he is a teacher too)
he donated 2 pencil sharpeners
for me to give AWAY
TWO WINNERS
will get ONE sharpener each
(I will use the random # thingy to pick the winners and post it on the 23rd of Jan.)
and really I have to say I am a bit jealous because
I want to enter to win

I want one at every group
every corner
this is not your typical sharpener peeps
check it out....




OK here is what you have to do to enter...
just join the linky party!!!
easy right!!!


here is mine...


and here is yours..if you want to use it...
and remember you do not have to use this to enter
just write it out on your blog
and just in case you do not know what
OLW is
it means....
One Little Word...
if you are still not sure what that is...
go HERE


OK what are you waiting for... link on up :)
and THANKS SO VERY MUCH for
loving me
and allowing me to be me
(insert HUGE GRIN here)

That sharpener looks wonderful. I would love to win one, and if I don't will you give us the info on how to order them? I don't have a blog, so I can't use that template you put out. But I did choose an OLW....cleanse, I want to cleanse my body, my mind, and my attitude.

Yeah for 1,000 followers! I am anxiously awaiting for when I will get to 500. I am a little over half way right now! I hope I win the pencil sharpener! My kiddos spend way too much time with that! I also despise the pinky pencils.

I will link up tomorrow for sure! I can't wait to enter the giveaway for that sharpener. I debated buying my kids mechanical pencils and just putting lead at my supply table for when they need it. No more sharpening. I can't stand it. AT ALL. And pencils are getting worse and worse!!!
Anyways, I think I popped by yesterday when I noticed your 1000 ---- hooray! I'm so happy for you!! You rock!!!!!

Hi! I'm a newbie blogger! I need to know the secret....how in the world did you get 1000 followers?! I mean seriously, I check my blog stats like every 5 seconds and if I get one more I jump up and down for joy {even if it was my mom hee hee}. I will be joining your linky party tomorrow only because I've already posted today and I did my research and know the post once a day only rule :) So...do tell...what's your secret? :)

I love reading 'currently' but I don't have a blog, just love to follow and read. You inspired me with the olw and I am going to do it with the kids tomorrow. My olw... grace.
What is it with pencil sharpeners...I thought I was just going crazy in my old age. Everything seems to jam, I hate electric ones and used to love mine but this year ARRRRGGGHHH
Would love to win or know how to purchase this type.

Well, I must say, I feel pretty foolish, like the new kid who wants to be cool too, but doesn't know how. I was trying to add your link to my blog, but don't know how to do that so I can write on it. And here I always thought I was pretty good with my computer skills...boo hoo. lol So since I don't know how to put it on my blog the right way, I'll just put it here and just mention your linky party. :)

Listening: to the Bachelor (why? I'm not sure, always end up watching these shows)

Thinking: I wish I knew how to be cool and do some of the cool teacher bloggy things
