Giveaway, New Product, and a Freebie!!!

 It is so hard to believe that New Year's Eve is tomorrow!! I spent my first week of vacation being sick. It all began Christmas Eve with the stomach flu and has turned into a head and chest cold. So my Christmas was not so merry. I am hoping that week 2 of vacation is a little kinder to me.

I am super excited to hold my first give away!! Wouldn't it be great to start the new year off with a brand new pencil sharpener?? Well, thanks to Troy from Classroom Friendly Supplies,  one lucky person will win one of his amazing sharpeners!!!

Amazing Pencil Sharpener!!!

Does this picture make you say..."Where have you been all of my life?" I know it has been posted on many blogs because that's where I heard about it. When I read the reviews about it I just knew I had to have one to see if it could really be... 

THE ONE SHARPENER I WAS LOOKING FOR MY ENTIRE TEACHING CAREER. A PENCIL SHARPENER THAT ACTUALLY SHARPENED PENCILS INSTEAD OF EATING THEM DOWN TO NOTHING AND LEAVING ME TOTALLY FRUSTRATED!!!

I was super excited when it finally arrived. I had already told all my colleagues about it so they were just as eager to see the results as me. 

CHECK THIS OUT!!

Here is the result from my previous sharpener. It is not very sharp and it sharpens on one side only, which leaves kids and teachers frustrated because they have to keep sharpening. When the pencil is finally sharpened it is about 2 inches long.

Now meet...The Classroom Friendly Pencil Sharpener. I purchased this in the beginning of the school year for only $24.99. Did I also mention there is free shipping!!

It is a lot smaller than my old pencil sharpener and real easy to use. The kids love it!!

 Here is the dull pencil before it is put into this Miraculous Marvel!!!

Now, here is the same pencil...sharpened!!! Can you believe it??? This doesn't just happen once in a while. It happens on every single pencil. I love it because I am not going through a hundred pencils a day like before. There is also a lot less kids having to sharpen pencils. 

Here is a comparison of the two pencils. The one on the right...Classroom Friendly Supplies Sharpener.  What you can't tell from the one on the left is that the backside of the lead has the wood on it... that uneven sharpen that you get most of the time from sharpeners that do not do their job.

I am so satisfied that I am going to get another one for my classroom. Troy just added the pencil sharpener in black, which happens to be my favorite color and will go well with my Rockstar themed classroom!!
