Welcome to the Spring Sweeping Giveaway Hop, hosted by the Blogging Mamas Network.

The days are getting warmer, brighter, and longer which may lead many to start Spring Cleaning. But we’re not ready to start cleanin’ until we’re done sweepin’! Take the next two weeks to sweep along the fabulous giveaways that a group of bloggers have come together to offer you! Be sure to hop around to all the giveaways, in the linky below, and just maybe the Grand Prize of a Shark® Lift Away Vacuum, from Brylane Home, will get someone in the Spring Cleaning mood! You can enter the Grand Prize here.   So Easy Being Green, Viva Veltoro, the Blogging Mamas Network, and the Showered with Love participating bloggers are not responsible for sponsors who do not fulfill prize obligations.

Our sponsor for this event is Classroom Friendly Supplies.

Can you believe it’s almost the end of the school year?  I can’t!  The school year just flew by.  My own kids are growing up too fast, and I really enjoyed the group of students I was able to work with this year.  Around the end of March, teachers are usually reminded to spend what’s left of their classroom budgets.  My colleagues have been asking about the fabulous pencil sharpener that I reviewed last year.  It’s still in perfect working condition, unlike the electric sharpeners many of them purchased in August.  In fact, I bought one for my children to use at home.  There are many reasons that I love this sharpener.  For one thing, it’s quieter than the electric sharpeners that have been in my classroom.  It’s not completely silent, of course, but it isn’t disruptive like the electric ones.  It never overheats like the temperamental electric ones, either!  Also, if a pencil point breaks inside the sharpener, it takes all of five seconds to pop off the handle, get rid of the offensive point, then twist the handle back in.  In the past, we’ve had designated manual sharpeners for coloring pencils because the waxy pencils tend to clog the electric sharpeners.  I don’t have that problem with the one from Classroom Friendly Supplies.  We’re able to sharpen every pencil in it!  We prefer it without the clamp; that way, it’s portable and students can take it to their seats if needed.

If you can’t tell, I’m really excited that Classroom Friendly Supplies wanted to sponsor another giveaway of this fabulous sharpener.  This would be a lovely end-of-year gift for your child’s favorite teacher.  Or, keep it in your craft closet for the kids to use this summer.  The giveaway is open to US readers ages 18+.  Void where prohibited by law. Good luck!
