I have to be honest, when I started this journey, I didn’t think that I would sell many of my items in my shop – I thought I would add the shop, just in case someone REALLY wanted some of the items featured in my photos. To my surprise, I had orders on the very first day that I opened! I had to scramble to get my shop in working order! Without ever using Teacher’s Notebook, I assumed it would function like Etsy – you purchase the items and the owner of the shop sends the file to you through email. At one point, I had so many orders, I couldn’t keep up! I was spending hours and hours sending my printables to customers. I was feeling extremely overwhelmed and wondering how I was going to keep up. Finally, the Teacher’s Notebook owner called me and explained that he loved my items, but asked why I wasn’t just letting my customers download them right after they made the purchase. I had NO idea the site was capable of doing that! So…after suffering for an entire month, I made the switch today! You can now purchase my items and download the file instantly! WHEW!!! I can’t tell you how relieved I am! Thanks to everyone for a fantastic first month!

Thank you so much!!! 🙂 I became a fan of your blog today as well! 🙂
Can I get a link to your TN page??? I did not know you had a store. As a seller that sends files digitally, I know what a pain it is. Lucky you. 🙂

Hi Julie!
Thank you so much! My borders are from Creative Teaching Press. It is called the Dots on Turquoise Collection.

CTP 1038…$2.99 (Polka Dot border)
CTP 1040…$3.99 Stripes and Stitches
I actually used wrapping paper, not border. The wrapping paper is from Party City.
Hope that helps! 🙂

I meant to say it is wrapping paper, not fabric! 🙂
