$125+ Back to School Giveaway

It is that time of year.

I've seen your pictures on Instagram.

I've read your blog posts about your shopping sprees.

Back to school sales are in full swing.

I haven't been in the mood to shop for back-to-school until recently.  I like to pretend that summer will go on forever.  But, the reality is that some of us only have a few weeks {or less!} until the new school year will begin!

So, with that thought floating in my head, I, too, have started to make my lists of what I need for the new school year.

When Office Max contacted me and asked if I would like to receive one of their "Tools for Schools" teacher care packages to review on my blog, I jumped at the chance.  You're a teacher....you know how we feel about school supplies....a whole "teacher care package" of them??  YES, PLEASE! :)

So, I was super excited when I came home from teaching my workshop yesterday to find a BOX sitting in our den.  Yep, just like Christmas morning! :)

Inside, was ALL of the essentials that a teacher needs to get the school year started off right!  Is that a beautiful sight or what??

1) An Electric Pencil Sharpener
2) Scissors
3) 18 pads of colored post-its
4) 12 blue ink gel pens
5) 12 PaperMate purple pens
6) 150 colored paper clips
7) 36 small binder clips
8) 10 bright-colored liquid highlighters
9) 36 #2 pencils
10) $50 OfficeMax Giftcard

That's right!!  OfficeMax also included a $50 giftcard in the package so teachers can shop for the goodies that they need specifically for their classroom!!  WOOHOO!!

That $50 will go a L-O-N-G way in helping me get the other supplies I need!  I'm thinking lots of CARDSTOCK and LAMINATION for all of the games and activities I need to print soon!

Here's the BEST part about this post....OfficeMax has reserved a "Tools for Schools" teacher care package for one of my blog readers!!!!!!!!!!!!  That's right one of you will win this same package {over $125 value}.
