I am so excited to announce my new partnership with Creative Teaching Press!
From the beginning of my teaching career, I have LOVED the products from Creative Teaching Press. I could sit for hours looking through their catalogs circling what I planned to purchase for the upcoming school year! You might say I was a little obsessed. Doesn’t everyone have multiple copies of their catalog all over the house? I knew every item they carried and had practically memorized item numbers for my favorite products! Well, that’s stretching it a bit…but you get the point…I LOVE Creative Teaching Press!
I have always strived to have the perfect classroom environment and their products helped me to create my dream classroom year after year.
So…when I was asked to partner with their company, I didn’t have to think about it – the answer would be YES!!!
It felt like the perfect partnership.
Taking on this amazing opportunity means that you will be hearing more from me through Creative Teaching Press! I will be inspiring teachers and educators with tips, ideas, projects, shortcuts and activities for teaching and learning including:
Classroom Environment
Designer Décor
Classroom Management
Content-based lessons
Holidays
Seasons
Crafts
Grades PreK – 5
Character Education
Classroom Community
and MORE!
I also have another little SECRET…you will see my Designer Classroom ideas in the July 2012 catalog arriving in your mailboxes in early July! I had a ton of fun designing rooms using CTP’s new BW Collection and Robots Designer Décor.
PLUS…you will love what I’ve done with the Dots on Turquoise, Dots on Chocolate, Poppin’ Patterns and Monkey themes.
I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek of the catalog and it is AMAZING!!! Just wait until you see it!
If you do not receive your catalog, go to http://creativeteaching.com/CTPRequestCatalog.aspx to request a copy.
I would love to know the room that YOU like best! Once you get your catalog, hop on to my Facebook page and tell me which room was your favorite!
Follow CTP on Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter for my guest posts every Monday.
Happy Decorating!

I am SOOOOOO excited for you! You truly have a gift! I can’t wait to see where this new adventure will lead you! We are so lucky!!! Yeahhhhhhh
Congratulations!!! I struggled with decorating my room year after year, but I spent time looking at your tips and ideas and have decided “if you can’t beat ’em – join ’em” I am going to be at peace with my TEAL walls and cabinets (not aloud to change them)! I’ve taken everything down. Decided on Brown/teal combo. I redesigned all of my rule charts and word wall words to match. Reread your tips and feel great. I have just finished cutting the fabric (teal pleather!) to reupholser my class couch. I was going for brown, but a local designer gave me a SUPER FANTASTIC deal on an end cut of crazy teal! I also learned to use a steamer to “re-poof” my foam – coolio. I look forward to seeing your wonderful designs and styles! jh
Congrats!! We always knew you were amazing!! 🙂
*jealous* just kidding! …LOVE CTP! What an amazing opportunity!!
Congrats!

Hello Melanie, I’ve been following your blog for some time and I’d like to tell you how happy I am for you to be representing Creative Teaching Press. They are a great company and they always have the prettiest and most cheerful decor along with quality educational materials. I’m sure you are going to be a real asset to this company.
I am the owner of the Parent Teacher Tech Center in Brighton, Michigan and we’ve sold CTP for more than twenty years in our store. From what I have been able to find on your blog, you are not far away from my store, and perhaps have even shopped here. If anyone on your blog would like to order the CTP materials you use in your creative presentations, please remind them that we’re here in Brighton, Michigan. Good Luck to you, I’m sure you’ll be successful in your new endeavor. Marcy Aller

Melanie,
I am going using the Dots on Turquoise and an owl theme in my classroom. I love the ideas that I saw for the d.o.t. in the catalog! One question, do you know where I can find the red border that was used behind the paisley border? I want to find it! Thanks so much for such amazing ideas!!!!
