Recently I read a post at
Oh Boy Fourth Grade about focusing on the JOY. As usual, I think my friend, Farley, is on to something.
Based on the name of my blog, people often think my name is JOY. My name is Kim, but I don't mind being confused with JOY. It's a part of who I am in many ways.
Like Farley, I am making an effort to find the JOY at school--even when that is not an easy task. Here's my strategy: Before I leave school each afternoon, I sit down, close my eyes, and try to think of one good thing that happened that day. There is usually at least one good thing, so I can almost always head for home on a positive note. My general outlook has been remarkably improved!
I am blessed to have lots of JOY in my life. LOTS. And after thinking about all of the things I've been given, I've decided to give some away!

I've never done a "formal" giveaway or used Rafflecopter before, so there are a few "firsts" in action. Mostly, I am excited to pass along some JOY to some BlogReaders this holiday season.
So here are your options....
Maybe you'd like a $25 dollar gift card to spend at Target.
You could use it to buy decorarons, or a (lovely) holiday sweater.
Or treasures in the dollar section or some presents!
Or maybe you'd like a $25 dollar gift card to spend at Starbucks.
You could treat yourself to something tasty while you shop or wrap presents.
You could even trade it in and buy gift cards for your coworkers!
Or maybe you'd like a $25 dollar gift card to spend at Amazon.
You could buy a book or two to read over vacation.
Or you could buy books or lots of other things for presents!
Or maybe you'd like a $25 dollar gift card to spend at ToysRUs.
Maybe you can get some toys for some little cherubs.
Or games or puzzles for your classroom!
There will be four lucky winners. And each of those four people will win a gift card. And each person can choose which gift card they would like--even if all four people choose the same card!
So, come on, join in! You could win some JOY of your own!
