CELEBRATE: Happy 'Golden' Birthday GIVE AWAY!

photo of: CELEBRATE EVERY DAY!  Zippy image from the camera of RainbowsWithinReach

TODAY!!! Today's 12-13-56! 'Cuz I'm 56!
That makes this my 'golden' birthday. 
For the mathematicians in our midst, I was born in 1956, so I've always considered 56 to be my lucky number. 
Therefore turning 56 makes today gold in my book.
I trumpet my age and am happy to tell you how long I've lived. 
In my world getting older is indeed something to celebrate!!!!
Let's celebrate together. I've got a give away for you!
But first.............

I have received a very special birthday present today. 
I was honored to contribute a guest-birthday article at 
"GROWING BOOK BY BOOK."

How awesome is that for a celebration?
A whole new spotlight for my work! 
Click right here to see me being read to as a wee-one. 
My LUV-of-reading was nurtured from the very beginning. 
**Be sure you have some time to prowl around through this AMAZING site while you're there -- you'll be so glad you did. 

Now. Back to the give away part of the show......
Here's an even earlier picture of little Debbie! 
Yup. My early life was all in black-n-white!

But as soon as I got to OZ the colors turned on 
and I haven't looked back since! 
To celebrate with you I'm giving away a set of my three picture books!

We've done this before on the 13th. 
It's the 'pin-it-to-win-it' concept.
Easy-peasy give away!

  1. In order to enter the give-away, pin any image from my blog.
  2. Enter your pin's URL in the comment section below. 
  3. Include your email address in your comment so that I can reach you to get your snail-mail address and find out how you want your books personalized. 
  4. If you're not on Pinterest (what's up with that?) you could tell me how you'll use the books or something else encouraging and supportive.  Or follow my little store at TeachersPayTeachers. Or give a random act of kindness to someone in your real life. Or eat some cake today in my honor ~~ in lieu of a pin. The main thing is for you to leave a comment with your email. 
Small print: Contestants must be in the US. The winner will be drawn at random a week from today. 

 AND my biggest present?
We are headed to the airport as I type. 
We're flying from the warmth of southern FL 
to my WoNDerPeePs for hugs in Ohio!

Getting older is an honor not experienced by all. 
I'll do my best to go at it with gusto!

  3. Hey Debbie...
    Guitly as Charged..I have been promising myself that I will get myself onto Pinterest...must do so real soon.
    How would I use your books? Easy!!! In the same way that I have been using all your cd's..in my classroom enriching the children with your amazing work.. Your songs have become so popular with the children in my department-that I have chidren from other classes coming to me AFTER school to see if I will let them listen and sing etc.....
    Oh well..now for that cake! Hope you have a huge one just for yourself...
    Keep up the wonderful work-may you be blessed with more energy and creativeness over the next 12 months!
    Happy Christmas to you and your family
    your South African Fan!
