Top 3 Linky with a LOT of Thank Yous!!

My mom finally made it in from Colorado! So, now our Christmas Cookie baking festivities have begun!  And now, Brooklynn can officially make her entrance into this world at ANY moment that she likes...lol. puh-leeeeez!?

Oh, I know some of you have said you are "jealous" of our Christmas at the Beach tradition - (HERE'S the post), but I have to tell you....I am SOOOO jealous of all of you with a white Christmas. What I wouldn't give to go play in the snow on Christmas day....sigh....And also, we were watching Fraggle Rock (remember that show?!!? It was my all time favorite growing up, and now, thanks to The HUB, my daughter can watch it too!)...anyway, I digress - lol. Apparently, it even gets cold down in Fraggle Rock for Christmas!! WHAT?! I was SO jealous when I saw that! lol.

You know how much I love Linky Parties!

And for my other Thank Yous!!

Jessica, over at The Littlest Scholars, has such a cute freebie with pirates! It was a little young for my 2nd graders, and she offered me the blank versions so I could make my own! AW - thank you Jessica! I just LOVE pirates! and Ladybugs....and Dr. Seuss! lol. Good thing their all red, black, and white! lol
She has now posted those versions for everyone too!

Go check her out!
p.s...she just left for a little cruise vacay (JEALOUS!), so I'm sure she'd love a little surprise of new followers and comments when she came back! :)

And Diana Cole from Cole's Little Pups has such a CUTE Jan Brett activity for her Three Snow Bears book. She's wanting to be able to adapt her units to go up to 2nd grade, so she let me make a few suggestions for her future units. Go check her out - she's got some SUPER cute stuff! (I didn't see a button to grab, so just click on her blog's name for the link!)

There are so many others out there I want to thank! I am so glad to have found this little bloggy community, and am so appreciative of all your support and words of encouragement. I have found some great bloggy friends, and I love how you guys CRACK. ME. UP!! (Kristin, Reagan, and Kim, JUST to name a few! But there are SO many more out there. I could just make a HUGE list of everyone I stalk appreciate on a daily basis...oh wait. I have! Check out my newly updated blog button roll on the left!)

And I have another Thank You to post about, but I'm waiting to get it in the mail so I can take pictures of it to go along with the post.

And probably, the most selfish thank you I want to say is that  I love all of the comments I get from you all. lol. No seriously. It really brightens my day whenever I see a comment in my email! Sometimes I read them a few times :) Is that wrong?! lol And I try to respond to all of the comments - usually by responding my email. Have you gotten them!? I hope so! I do it that way because I'm usually on my phone and it's easier than going to your blog and making a comment. Geez. I really hope you're getting them. Now I'm feeling bad. I might have to start making it over to the computer to make sure I go comment on your blog! lol.
