Favorite Freebies and Giveaways

Well, it's Sunday.. and tomorrow is my least favorite day of the week! No matter how easy or smooth a Monday goes, it is still a MONDAY.  I have a long week ahead of me with a few late meetings and working a little more since my anniversary, my sister and dad's birthday, and Christmas are all coming up, and I need to put something aside to buy some nice gifts.  I go through this every year, but this year more than ever, I feel like "Where is my money?" :( All I want to do is give the best presents to those that I love, and I am determined to do it!

I went to a wedding this weekend about 3 1/2 hours away with all my friends.  My friend Corey from high school got married, and I am so happy for him! It's crazy how we graduated 9 years ago, but we are all so grown up now (but still will always be close!) Here is my boyfriend Mike and I outside by the lake.  It was a little chilly, but I love pics ;)
 
Soo I decided to do some favorite freebies! I was busy all weekend and did not get to create anything new, but there are new freebies every day posted on Teachers Pay Teachers and Teacher's Notebook, so I figured I'd share a few :)
My first freebie that I wanted to share are The 3AM Teacher's Fall Borders :) They are not clipart images, but PDF files - they will be super cute to print out and hang in your classroom!!
Another freebie that I am very excited to share with you comes from Teaching from a Mountain View.  It is an amazing freebie of Multi Digit Multiplication Strategy posters... my kiddos are very visual, and will love when I post these in my classroom!
My friend Misty from Think, Wonder, Teach has amazing products for the upper elementary grades.  She is so wonderful and creative :) On TPT and Teacher's Notebook, Misty has her 2012 Election Picture Prompts for free!! So important for our kids to know what is going on in our world and our government.  They are our future you know ;)
Mary Rosenberg has a wonderful product on TPT consisting of Prefixes and Suffixes Cheat Sheets! She was very kind to add color and b&w freebies.. this will also be perfect for my kids to reference to while we review prefixes and suffixes :) Thanks Mary!
And last but not least, I'll leave you with one of my old freebies.. I really liked my Multiplication Worksheets, and I have had almost 900 downloads, but no feedback.. I am just hoping it's okay and people are liking it so let me know ;)
 
I had to feature The 3AM Teacher because she is so wonderful... look at the amazing banner she created for me on TPT!!! I love love love it ;) The graphics on TPT by Michelle and other artists are just incredible.. they honestly make all of our products so much more engaging and enjoyable for the kids.. and that is so important!
 
 
I wish everyone a wonderful week.. I will be continuing to type up outlines of notes for my 4th graders in science and social studies, and if I think one is a good one, I'll feature it as a freebie very soon ;)
 
There are a few great giveaways going on right now!!

Over at Fourth Grade Garden, Liliris has a fabulous Monster Mash giveaway with great prizes, including a read aloud hard cover "I need my Monster" and fun activities!
Also, Tara at 4th Grade Frolics is having a 2,000 follower giveaway.. WOW! If I could only be so lucky someday ;) She has amazing prizes and so many teachers linking up!! Check it out, she's incredible!
 Aaaand last but CERTAINLY not least... Rikki over at the Hive!! I am so glad I follow her, she has some real cute stuff! She teamed up with the best sellers and clip art expertises.. love them all!! Really hoping to win this one too :) Check it out!
