QUITE HUMBLED TODAY — THANK YOU FRIENDS

May 3, 2015 by teacherideafactory

Although I am loud as all get out and typically always have something to say, I am speechless this afternoon.  Yep, me.  Kelley Nicole Dolling is SPEECHLESS. I don’t know if all you alls opened the TPT newsletter today, but I was lucky enough to land the Seller Spotlight slot this week.  I wasn’t sure when I was going to hit (they said it would be 2-3 months when I filled out the official “you have been picked” paperwork).  So . . . this morning was a complete surprise. I was absolutely delighted to be highlighted this week and may or may not have danced around the house a bit.  Despite this excitement, the newsletter actually wasn’t what made me the happiest today. The emails, FaceBook shouts, instant messages, and texts from my TPT and blogger friends poured in after the newsletter hit inboxes.  I was so overwhelmed and truly touched by it all. When I called my mom and told her about the response, I started crying. I just couldn’t help myself or my dang emotions. Seriously, folks.  I was (and still am) so humbled. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

Teachers Pay Teachers is truly a magical company.  Yeah sure, it has given us amazing access to oodles of killer resources with the click of a button.  Yes, it has provided many of us with some super fun extra income. However, I don’t see the resources or the money as the best things that have come out of TPT (at least for me). The relationships I have built via this amazing organization are everything. Some of my best friends in the world were met online in the past three in a half years. That right there is worth more to me than anything. (And, with that, I am crying again.) #pullittogetherdolling

Anyway, that’s all from this girl today.  I really don’t know what else to say other than that pile of mushy stuff up there.  I meant every single word. Thank you for your amazing support my friends.  You mean the world.
