It doesn't offer much. I would rather go with a more descriptive group of papers. I didn't know that all that was provided in the download was all that was found on the poster. :(
June 14, 2013
Cindy Gilchrist (TpT Seller)
Something is wrong then - MUCH more if offered than what is just on the poster. Please try to download again. There are 21 pages.

Hi there,
I purchased this, but the words "It's Been a Great Year, 2012-2013" are not printing out.
Could you help me with this?

That's odd - I have sold 31 copies of this and no one else had this problem. I went back and checked the download and it is showing up there and printing out. It must have something to do with your version of Adobe Acrobat Reader or if you are using a Mac. That accounts for 99.9% of printing issues. See below for more info:
1. Make sure you are using an up to date version of Acrobat Reader.
You can check the version by clicking Help then About from within
reader. If you have a version earlier than 5.0 or 6.0, you should
update your reader.
2. If you have a Mac, you may be opening it with a Mac program
called "Preview" and not even know it. Preview has documented problems
opening modern Adobe files. If you have a Mac, try opening Adobe
Reader first (rather than just clicking on the file), then open the
file within Adobe Reader. You may also choose to set the default
reader to Adobe Reader by following the instructions here.
To change the default reader on a Mac to Adobe:
----------------------------------------------
Click on the icon of a PDF file type then choose File --> Get Info
You will see a dialog box labeled something like this "sample.pdf" Info
Near the bottom, you will see a section titled "Open With:"
That indicates what application on you Mac is the default.
Click on the pop-up to bring up the list of possible applications
and select Adobe Reader (whatever version is installed), then click
"Change All" to make it the default application for all .pdf files.
The OS will then ask you if you are sure, click "Continue."
Now the Mac will use Reader instead of Preview.

Unfortunately everyone was forced to remove anything related to Pete the Cat on TPT due to a Cease and Desist letter from the author of Pete the Cat :( Very sad, especially since that probably helped sell a lot of the books.

Hi Cindy,

MiriamGuzman re: Super Cute Teacher Binder Cover
Cindy when I was downloading the binder cover and spine cover, I can not write anything on it. It downloads to a jpeg file. I click on it and it opens but I can't type anything on it.

Yes, you copy that jpeg into Word or Publisher and add a text box to add the text.

Yes, here is some info from TPT that may help:
If you purchased a PDF that is showing blurred lines and black marks, you need to update your Adobe Reader. If you are on a Mac, use the updated version of Adobe and NOT Preview to open it. Hope that helps! (It may be that you are opening it in "Preview").

hi,
I tried to download some of your free charts and the words would not show up, there are just blacked out lines. I have a mac, I don't know if that's the issue.
Thanks,

I keep trying to download your writing center, but it doesn't work. I have looked for it here in order to purchase it, but I must be missing something. Is it still available? If so, where? Thanks for your help. I love the chart for what to write about.

Mrs. Cindy I just love your blog. I couldn't find anywhere to contact you on there and found you here on TPT. I have a small question or I guess request. I just love your mosquitos clothespin game and a few others you are offering for free download(which is such a blessing) I was wondering if you could please put them onto google docs still. On scribed they put them as archived and want you to pay to download them. I wouldn't mind if the money was going to you and not them. Thank you for the wonderful work you share with us. God Bless. Mrs. Valerie

Hi, I just love your author's purpose poster that you have on your blog!!! I was wondering if you had any more like this for other reading skills, such as inferring, main idea, compare/contrast, etc. If not, could you tell me what program you created it in and if you have any sort of template available? I would be interested in buying any you have :)
