And now for the freebie. I had fun making these cute Halloween paperclips. I think they turned out pretty awesome. I have included full and half clips as well as the striped clips. Enjoy!!!

Oodles of Halloween Page Dividers

I can't believe it's almost October. I just looked out the window and noticed the leaves are starting to fall. Oh my! Speaking of October, I have been working on these two Halloween page divider sets and finally got them into my store. They're both 50% off for the first 48 hours, so if you like them why not get both. The bright Halloween colors coordinate perfectly. Click on either image to view in my TpTstore.

Create your own Peanuts Character Online and Use as a Story Starter!

Hooray for Peanuts! I love when movie studios put out quality interactives that can be used in the classroom. The makers of the upcoming Peanuts movie have done just that with Peanutize Me which lets you create your own Peanuts character. It's an easy to use website with lots of fun options to choose from when creating your Peanut's style character. With a great selection of backgrounds too these could make great story starters. No sign up (or e-mail) is required and when your done you can download your character as a picture or wallpaper. Fast and easy. Pretty cool!

 

Below is a character I made. Cute!

Charles M. Schulz's characters from "Peanuts" will be making their big-screen debut on November 6th. Looks promising.

You've been Framed! New Creative Clip Art for Commercial/Personal Use

I've added lots of new frame and background paper collections to my TpT Store. In fact, I've added so many new clip art collections that I can't show them all here. So after checking these out head over to my store and see the rest. Most of my collections mix & and match pretty well so they are easy to use. In the graphic above I've used a frame from my "Funky Chunky" frame collection and a paper from my "Scratched White Line" paper collection. I think they look great together. Don't you? Oh and one more thing. Make sure you don't miss the fun freebie at the bottom of this post. Thanks for stopping by!

5 Tools for Generating Blog Post Ideas and Titles that Attract Readers

Want to create blog titles that will catch the eyes of potential readers and get inspiration for new blog posts as well? I sure did and when I learned about Portent's Content Idea Generator, from social media expert Kim Garst, I just had to check it out. I was pleasantly surprised to see that a tool like this could actually work for me, especially when I get the dreaded "blogger's block". Now some of the suggestions from Portent's were rather silly so I thought I would see if there were other similar tools out there.

    

I looked around and found four others to share with you. I really liked BLOGABOUT, Blog Title Generator, HUBSPOT'S BLOG TOPIC GENERATOR and tweak your Biz. To use these generators all you need to do is add a key word or two and click to get suggestions for titles and posts.  Easy peasy! After reading some of the suggestions generated (see below) I can see how they will attract readers. For me these are terrific time savers. It's unbelievable how much time I have spent trying to come up with post titles. Hope they save you time too and maybe give you inspiration for future posts.

To show you an example of what is generated I put "classroom behavior" into the search. Below are some of the titles generated. Not bad, huh?

• Back To Basics. The 3 Fundamentals That Everyone Always Forgets About Classroom Behavior.
• Seven Common Misconceptions About Classroom Behavior.
• The Modern Rules Of Classroom Behavior.
• Learning Classroom Behavior Can Be A Disaster If You Neglect These Seven Rules.
• The Most Unconventional Ways to Learn Classroom Behavior.
• Ten Ways To Have Fun Learning Classroom Behavior.
• The Classroom Behavior you should be working on.
• Not getting all you want in Classroom Behavior? Take these steps.

Check out these time saving generators and let me know what you think. 

BTW...I highly recommend following @KimGarst on Periscope and Twitter for super social media marketing strategies like this one.
