The first challenge is to make over something currently in your TpT store (to read more on the challenge and join in please read this post from The Peppy Zesty Teacherista). I first started in 2012-2013 during my first year of teaching. Boy have I not only come a long way in my teaching since then, but thankful, my design techniques have grown too.
I'm a wee bit ashamed to show you one of my most pinned items: Common Prefix & Suffix Flipbooks.
Scary isn't it? Back when I started freebies seemed to be more of an after thought. Why invest in them if they are free? Well, they are a great advertising opportunity and I missed out greatly over the years with this one. I'm surprised it's been pinned so well seeing as 1) there was no cover page, 2) no advertising to bring people back to my store for related products 3) worst of all-- Comic Sans was used in part of this product. Eeek. My font addicted heart cannot believe I had that in a product!
Now...
So much better!
1) A cover that goes with other related products on the same topic. Crisp & clean.
2) I have pictures and links going to related products.
3). Best of all---better and easier to read fonts!

The to-do list is long, and I'm not sure how fast baby girl will let me get to it all, but this is the first step in the right direction to giving things a bit of a facelift!

Great job on your makeover! I love your new cover, especially the chalkboard font! I hope you get lots of TPT time AND mommy time in this summer! I'm glad I stumbled upon your blog!

Thank you! Mommy time is so far outweighing the TpT time, but I'm okay with that :) You may want to check out how to change your settings so that you are no longer a no-reply blogger.
DeleteI agree - It's important to make your products "go" with the look of your store and related products. Great makeover. I look forward to seeing what you do next week in the challenge.
