Learn More

I am so proud of myself!!! I only got ONE finger burn from using the glue gun! I finally finished my Monday Made it! from last week, AND got a quick one done for this week....plus I made a Facebook Fan Page for my blog too...WOW!
I guess I feel I had to because I'm leaving on Vacation again this Friday..so I might make this my Monday Made it post AND my Fabulous Friday Finds too, since I did find some cute stuff while in vacation in North Carolina last Friday!!!
Last Monday I mentioned the Teacher Survival Kits from http://triplenap.blogspot.com/2010/08/teacher-survival-kits.html
Well I made my own BEE themed of course

Aren't they cute!!!

Then I tackled the To Do lists for my desk...I always lose the sticky notes and this is cute and highly visual for me!

I got the idea off of Pinterest from : http://crayonsandlessonplans.blogspot.com/

Again I BEE them out! ( Made a black framed one too, for my computer area...nice)

Now to show you the cute stuff I dragged back from Carolina Pottery...for Birthday celebrations

Don't you just love it..I got in in YELLOW of course!

At Target I picked up a few things, I plan on using the STAR student chair decor once a week for the first 18 weeks, the little pocket charts are color coded for my different vocabulary words and those cute "All About Me" sheets are for open house, to keep the kids busy with homework! LOVE TARGET!

Since my next vacation is being taken on a plane, I won't be able to shop so much...unless I ship it home...hmmmm

Taking a Vacation

I so wanted to do a Monday Made it! today...but all weekend my Internet was "out" my printer as a result went off-line...I am also packing and planning on a car trip too...needless to say I did not get my projects done! <insert sad face here>

But I did find a few more items at Target...I am making these survival presents for my team:

I found this on : http://triplenap.blogspot.com/2010/08/teacher-survival-kits.html
but of course I have black tops and I will embellish them with yellow/black ribbon to make them very BEE themed. I  picked out most of the items (Advil, lint brush, chap stick, power bar, wisps,breath savers, deodorant) things you need for just in case you are having one of THOSE days! However I still have to print out the cute BEE tags and hot glue the ribbon on. I want the ribbon to be a permanent part of the kit, so I am only going to put it on the top. Once I get back from vacation and finish the project I will post pictures, until then my friends you will have to wait!
See you next week!

Monday Made it...Starting Super Simple! ..oh and a contest notice!

Monday Made It!

Hello Bloggin' buddies, since this is my FIRST official Monday Made It, I did NOT stretch myself!!
I went to Michael's earlier today to gather all the stuff to red-do my clipboards. Mod-Podge??? Decoupage...finding just the right cover color/theme coordination...hmmmm yeah..NO...I decided to keep it simple and start off by making my Writers Journals/Notebooks. It was way cheaper and so simple:
Composition Notebooks, ribbon and my glue gun.


I had to run to school to get my glue gun...that was a shocker...they were cleaning the floors in our rooms and moved most of the furniture into the hallways. I noticed that I was missing 4 bookshelves, well the reason I thought this was because they were buried behind two rows of stacked chairs...but all is well that ends well, because I got rid of 75% of the stuff I used to own so finding the glue guns was easy! Once I grabbed my tools, I quickly went home and got started on my Monday Make It! project.


It went pretty quick, once I figured out how to cut the ribbon endings so they looked cute and symmetrical!


The first step was to glue the ribbon to the back.

Then folded it over the front and snipped the end off.

That was it! DONE...well until I make cute BEE Labels to attach to the front!

Sorry it is sideways...I tried three times to rotate it, but every time it went back sideways ....grrr...anyway super simple journals today..next week I will be on my way to my VACATION...so I probably won't be playing along!

I got this idea from Pinterest..of course!
