I Did It!

I did it.  And, now I'm thinking, "Oh, my! What have I done?!"

If you read my blog, you know that a blog design with Megan from A Bird in Hand Designs is well underway.  You also may know that I set some blog goals this year, one of which was to create more literacy projects and dip my toe in the Teachers Pay Teachers site.

Well, Megan asked me for a link to my TpT store for the blog design.  What?!!!  You mean I actually have to have something going on there in order to have a working link? :-)

Since I had to have something ready to go, I decided to put the My Favorite Book bookmark that I created last August up as my first product.  It is still a free download, but it is now available in my Tpt store.  (Yikes!  I can't believe I just wrote that - my store!)

So, there it is.  I did it.  I finally opened a Tpt store.

Now, don't expect much for a while!  I had really planned to launch that whole project over the summer when I had more time to devote to it.  However, needing it ready for the new blog design got me moving now. I know I totally need to redo my "about me" blurb on the site, and I'm not sure if I will be ready to put anything else up for a bit.  I'm sort of baby stepping my way through this.  I should also mention that the store button does not reflect the new blog design just yet, but it will!

This is probably a good time to update the blog goals.  My last update was in February, so here's a quick one:

1.  Finish Blog Redesign - Sooooo close to being done!

2. Make at Least 6 Literacy Based Resources/Projects - Have some in the works, but nothing done yet.

3. Blog at least Twice a Week - Ummmm, no comment.

4. Step Up the Social Media Portion of the Blog - I'm trying!  There will be social media buttons on my blog to make it easy for you to follow, so I need to make a conscious effort to keep up with it all.

5.  Organize the Labels on Previous Posts - In progress!  Hoping to get it done this week!

6.  Connect with Other Bloggers - Not much progress here at all.  I love so many other blogs, but am still slacking on commenting.  I also need to make an effort to hook up to more linky posts that I can really add something to.  I don't want to link just for the sake of linking.

  If you have a Tpt store and have any words of wisdom for me, please share!  Or, if you buy from them, what do you wish sellers would or would not do? As I said, I'm sort of baby stepping my way through it all and would love, love, love any advice!
