Spectacular September Blog Give Away

   I am so excited! I have had around 8 GREAT ETSY SELLERS who have been kind enough to agree to send me items to give away on my blog! Each of these seller's shops have wonderful things for educators of all ages.

 The first two packages have rolled in this weekend. I couldn't wait to open them. It's like Christmas at my house when I get a package. ;) I squeal like a 5 year-old. 

 Inside my package I found not one, BUT TWO fantastic Hip Notions Tool Belts from Betty of www.BettyOttesen.com (or on Etsy.com under http://www.etsy.com/shop/BettyOttesenSewing) Thank you Betty; that was very generous of you. :)

  

 First of all, you need to pay Betty a visit at her store because she has tool belts for everyone. No matter the occupation, she likely has a cool tool belt that will help you at work, from gardening to sewing to teaching, to even belts for veterinarians. Even just around the house, this would be handy. I got to thinking about my late grandmother who had to rely on a walker to walk. One of these belts would have been good for her to wear with a phone inside, some tissues, a water bottle, medication, a snack for blood sugar fluctuation, a whistle in case she fell while outside, etc.   There are just so many uses for these nifty belts.

 The teacher tool belts are just the right size to carry essentials around with you: tissues, hand-sanitizer, whistle, pens/pencils, treats, even change for the lounge cola machine when you need a caffeine jolt. 

  Betty sent me two colors: kelly green and a brown belt with a measuring tape patterned-ribbon trim. Both are very sturdy and light-weight. The belts for give away will vary somewhat from the ones pictured. I know you will enjoy using your Hip Notions Tool Belt in the home or classroom or on a field trip. Please stop by and tell Betty "Thanks!" if you are one of the two lucky winners.

I want to win this tool belt...tell me how!

There is a more efficient way to do this, I am sure).
