As I’ve reflected on my last two years, I have to admit, it has been more than I could have ever imagined!
I started this blog for fun. I’ve always been a “helper” at heart and thought it would be a great way to help teachers become inspired and add some “HAPPY” into their classrooms. I knew that I had been given a gift and just wanted to share it with whoever needed it.
I never knew it would turn into THIS.
I am amazed. I am grateful. I am thankful for all of YOU!
I don’t feel like I’ve taken anything for granted and feel a sense of purpose more than I ever have. After reading your sincere emails and feedback, I began to realize that teachers NEED to feel inspired. With all of the negative press about teachers, the enormous responsibilities, pressures, and stress, teachers need a morale boost.
My blog is meant to take you away from all of the day to day pressures of teaching and give you a dose of inspiration and FUN! Forget standardized tests, forget the mounds of paperwork that should be graded, forget all of the lesson planning, teaching objectives, disgruntled parents, report cards, conferences, etc.
My hope is that you can come to my blog and feel good. I want you to get excited about your job again. I want you to love what you do and recognize YOUR purpose.
I truly believe that we don’t choose to be teachers, teaching chose US!
We are all special group, united by a common purpose; making the difference in the lives of children.
I didn’t leave teaching to crank out a bunch of junk to make a dollar. I left teaching because that strong sense of purpose became evident when I started blogging about classroom decor. I realized that décor and your environment can renew your passion and love for teaching!
When I stage a room, that’s for you. When I create a coordinated décor collection, that’s for you. I really want to give you the tools you need to walk into your classroom and feel good. I know you don’t have a lot of time, so I try to make it easy by showing you pictures and doing the work for YOU.
I made a vow to myself when all of this started. This wasn’t going to be about me. I know that I am in this position to help teachers as much as I can. I have a strong desire to give back. This last year, I have really made an effort to give as much as possible. I have actually given away so many classroom collections for free that I’ve lost count. I’ve also given away numerous classroom accessories to teachers, volunteered for Teen with a Dream, donated 85 classroom collections to teachers that were affected by the tornadoes in Moore, Oklahoma, and I am decorating Moore, Oklahoma teacher, Karen Marinelli’s classroom this week.
So many of you have asked if I would come and help you decorate your own classroom. I wish more than anything, that I could do that. Just recently, I put my “thinking cap” on and tried to brainstorm ideas as to how I can help the most people. Then, I came up with my idea…
Hmmm…what can it be?!?
(I consulted my friend, Abby, and shared my plan with her. She thought I was C.R.A.Z.Y.! Yes, I probably am. That craziness is what caused this whole blog thing in the first place!)
SO…
I’ve decided to let you go shopping at some of my favorite places and I will pay for it!
Since I can’t decorate EVERYONE’S classroom, I would give you the money to purchase everything you need for a beautiful classroom environment!
We all like money, right?
My hope is that you can use my photos as inspiration, then take your gift card and go shopping!
I may not be able to personally decorate your classroom, but at least you can get a lot of stuff from my FAVORITE places to shop for classroom accessories!
I plan to run my giveaway for an entire WEEK!
Each day, you will have the chance to win a $100 gift card to one of my favorite stores. Each night of the giveaway, Kandin will announce the winner. Stay tuned because the last day is so so AMAZING, you don’t want to miss it!
How do you enter, you ask? No Rafflecopters this time. We are doing this the old fashioned way…
1. “LIKE” the post on Facebook
2. Click “SHARE” and share it on your Facebook page
3. In the comment section, let me know that you “liked” and “shared” (just so I can get your name entered) and you are DONE!
Kandin will announce the winner at 11:00 p.m. EST each night on Facebook!
Today, you have the chance to win $100 to my absolute favorite store, Target!
Head on over to my Facebook page and make sure you enter!
Stop by tomorrow to see another one of my favorite places to shop and for your chance to win a $100 gift card!
Good luck!

I love your blog! Liked and shared!
This year is my sixth year teaching and in a very strange way, it is the renewal of my faith in education . . . for all of those very things you mentioned in this post. I had to do what was best for me!! I had to grow and expand my horizons and learn to accept that which I couldn’t change. I moved districts and feel so renewed in my spirit on so many levels. I stumbled on your blog and was impressed and amazed by the work you clearly put into it. Because along with my fifth graders, I’m also going places, I’m using your Road Trip theme!! I absolutely LOVE it!! You should know just how much Kandin has helped me, she’s been awesome at working out kinks and then some!! So, it really isn’t a surprise to read about your support for the Moore community or this week of giveaways! Continued blessings on your dream of helping inspire teachers!! You have helped me along on my way this summer!! Thank you Melanie, from the bottom of my heart!

Liked and shared! Whether I win anything this week or not, your blog has helped get me excited about going back to school. I’m usually pretty much ready at the end of the summer, but this is the first year that I am a mother and will have to leave my baby at home with my husband to go back. Makes me sad to have to leave him, but I am certainly ready to get my room looking awesome with the Sunny Skies collection (which reminds me, thanks for the heads-up about the matching stuff at Hobby Lobby!). 🙂

I loved this post! I have been a teacher for 36 years, yes that ‘s right 36 years! after all these years I still have the desire to continue to grow, to reach out and share with my colleagues , to touch the lives of the students entrusted to me. I think I could describe myself as the “forever” teacher. Reading your post reaffirmed all I believe about the gift of teaching. Having contact with fellow teachers with the same passion about teaching is so important. Which is. one of the reasons that I believe that everyone needs people who inspire them –like you Melanie- And by the way, you haven’t personally come into my classroom, but your impact is seen everywhere ! Thank you Melanie!! ( It was a privilege to like and share your page on Facebook .)
Liked and Shared! Great ideas! Love, Love, Love your blog!

Who doesn’t love a Target gift card!
Liked and shared! I think you hit the nail on the head with everything that you said in your blog. I applaud what you do and think that so many people appreciate your efforts. As teachers we spend as much time in our classrooms as we do in our own homes, so making them fun, happy, welcoming places is very important. And for us “technology challenged” people, having someone like you create these beautiful products is a dream come true!
Thanks!!! :0)

Liked and shared. Thank you for this opportunity. I have been working on decorating my classroom in Schoolgirl Style. I purchased your book, the entire By the Sea collection and have been thrift shopping for all the extras. I am excitedly awaiting for my classroom to be finished with the summer cleaning so that I can get in and get decorating! I think the classroom decor is so important… My students and I spend all day there 5 days a week. We should have a fun and exciting place to be. Thanks for your continued inspirations!

Thank you for the comments on your blog. After an extremely difficult year last year, I almost left the profession I love. I have a new position in K/1st classroom and it has been a delight to find your blog for uplifting and beautiful ideas for my classroom. I am a firm believer that my classroom has to be a haven, not only for me, but my students. We spend more time at school than we do at home during the week. It is necessary for me to BEE happy there! It is also imperative that my students BEE happy there also. (Yes it is a BEE themed room).

Liked and shared. Thanks!
Liked and shared! I love your blog and your products. I am starting my 20th year of teaching, and am changing themes this year. You are so right when you say how much your classroom environment can affect you and inspire you. I really needed a fresh start this year, and a new theme and decorations have been a little like therapy as I went back to my room.
OMGosh….you are too SWEET to be offering such a wonderful give-a-way!! I have liked and shared!! Keeping my fingers crossed.
Hugs from Maine,

I have loved (liked) and shared your post, but I really love the cute ideas. I have fallen in love with the apple room this year. I have already started on my 3-D tree for my reading center, my bulletin boards, apple behavior system. Your ideas sparked so many more cute things I could do with the apple theme. Thank you so much for all your cute ideas! Your a breath of fresh air. Just another excited 1st grade teacher!

Liked and shared Hobby Lobby and Target Contest. Thank you!!! Hope all have a GREAT school year.
This is wonderful, and I agree, teaching chose us! If I didn’t have music, color, and order in my classroom, I would be less energetic, and that affects my kiddos! Design has rejuvinated me! I can’t imagine teaching without it, and my students appreciate it too!
