Caitlin O'Bannon (TpT Seller) re: My Cup Of Tea - A Mother's Day Celebration
Hi! I just purchased your Mother's Day unit. However, when I downloaded it, your cute font on the front cover, survey, activity sheets, etc. has disappeared and has changed to a basic font that just is not as pretty! My Adobe Reader is up to date, so it's not that... any suggestions on how to fix ASAP, so I can print off and use your great survey? Thanks.

Sorry! The graph is no longer on TPT, but I just revised it and put it up on my blog, teacherbitsandbobs.blogspot.com. Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9gdPNfXIsbUeU95bGc5M2FQRlU/edit?usp=sharing&pli=1

This is so cute!
I just thought that you might like to know that Read Across America is a trademarked term just like the cat that shall not be named!
I don't think that we can use that term in our packs. Just thought you would like to know

Thanks for the heads up Shuna!! I was wondering if it was copyrighted . . . it seems like it would be more of a holiday thing - like Thanksgiving or something.
Grrrr . . .
I like the "cat that shall not be named" though! :)
Again, thank you for the heads up!

Hi, Lindsay! Found your blog while searching for 3rd grade open house ideas. I was moved from 1st to 3rd this year and am starting to hyperventilate thinking about open house! I absolutely love your Native Americans projects you had on your bulletin board (I particularly loved your clay dolls and basket weaving) and was hoping you had info on how to make them among your TpT items. Alas, I don't see anything! :( I also saw what looked like astronauts, moon phases and some kind of booklet for space on a bulletin board. Do you have that for sale? If you don't have an official PDF of it, do you have any unofficial documents/info about what they are and how to make them that you can sell? I don't really need lessons for the Native Californians as I'm a California teacher also (used to live in Aliso Viejo--not far from you in Laguna Niguel) :) and have already taught it, but would like to know what projects you did for it for Open House and how you made them. I haven't started the solar system yet, so I might be interested in buying a whole unit if you have one for sale. Otherwise, info on the projects I saw displayed on a bulletin board (saw it in the photo where you showed the pastel self portraits) would be great. Please let me know if you have any of this for sale. P.S. Also, the Third Grade Gazette page is great too. I might be able to create one myself, but if you already have it, it might be easier to purchase it from you. Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you soon! Darlene

Hi Lindsay,
Would you be willing to sell me your class book template and cover for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs separately instead of in your packet? Just wondering. Thanks!

Hi Lindsay,
I just bought your Nifty Number (0-10) unit and wanted it mainly for the penmanship pages. Just having the same issues as others with the dotted lines missing. Our school computers are all PC. Any ideas to solve this issue for me? Thanks so much!

emilymccue re: Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs Centers and Activities
Hi, I purchased this document and opened it on a Mac. The entire document had letters missing in random places and letters squished up together and unreadable in others. There were also pictures that were missing parts. I was kind of disappointed that after spending 8 dollars, I could only use one or two of the pages because of these errors :( Is there anything you can do to fix this problem?
July 17, 2012
Lindsay Messner (TpT Seller)
Hi there!
Sorry to hear that the unit didn't open right on your Mac. Have you tried opening it on another computer? I can try to send it via email and see if that gets different results. I have not had any other complaints about this unit not working for other people who have purchased it.
Let me know if you would like me to try to email the unit to you.
Again, so sorry!

Hi Lindsay,
I just purchased your Five Senses Unit (love it) however I have noticed a few things that look a bit off. Page 14 has two different types of lines put together, page 25 has a funny looking last line and the mini book's type doesn't match up. Is this something you are able to fix? Thank you!

I am so sorry to hear about the funky things going on in the unit. Have you tried opening it on another computer? Do you have a Mac by any chance? I can try to send you the file via email and see if that helps, or perhaps just the specific pages that don't look right. Let me know if you would like me to email you.

Scipi (TpT Seller) re: Spring Has Sprung Number Sequencing Freebie
I saw your store on the home page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. I left you a rating. Well done!
Here are a few of suggestions that might help you to better market this product. Create a cover page for each of your products which can then be used as an attractive thumbnail to entice buyers. You might also add a second page which is a directions or suggestions page for the teacher. (Center? Individual Work? Paste the answers?) List several ways you use this product in your classroom. Never assume that a buyer knows how, why, or when to use your product. I notice you used the footer to put the your name and date of creation on EVERY page, but also add the copyright symbol. Items, especially free ones, have been "stolen" from TPT and posted on other sites to be sold. You have to protect all of your creations. Also number your pages.
I’d would love to have your input on one of my freebies listed below. If you prefer, I also have some math freebies listed at my store.

Hi Lindsay-I recently purchased your Cloudy With a Chance unit and love it! However I noticed a typo in the Outside My Window writing. Can I fix it on my end or is it something you have to do? Thank you for your help with this!
April 12, 2012
Lindsay Messner (TpT Seller)
Thank you so much for brining that to my attention! There was also a number missing on the hungry hundreds chart worksheet, so I have updated the unit and will be re-uploading. You should be able to download those pages from the new document. Let me know if you have any problems.
Thanks!

Hi Lindsay, I am in my 1st year as a 1st Grade teacher in Sunny Brisbane, Australia. Next term my colleague and I are planning to teach an Intergrated Unit based around "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs". I am currently looking for inspiration and came across your Unit and it looks amazing!! I have tried several times however to purchase it and for some reason I have been unsuccessful (I know I have $6 in my CC!). Not sure what to do as I am pretty desperate. Is there any chance we could come to some sort of arrangement. I used to be a Primary School Music Specialist...Any chance you would consider a resource barter??? I look forward to hearing from you soon. :-)
