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!

Fridays are Fabulous!

Fun in 4B 

Yeah another Friday!!!

Except that I should be saving my money for vacation, but no worries I got good deals!

Recently The Christmas Tree Shops opened up a store within 50 miles of me. The closest one before this one was approximately 500 miles or so away. So 50 miles is a little more convenient. Also near this fabulous store is a Lakeshore Learning. So my teaching buddy suggested we go visit them on Wednesday.

We went to Lakeshore first...yeah 20% off, plus 70% off clearance...here's my good finds:

Can you see the price tag on those circles calendar pieces? $0.99...and the cute bag was a text then FREE!!!...I also picked up....

This cute Vocabulary display (I'm going to use it for more than just one word)

And of course some BEE related goodies....I left Lakeshore and only spent $21...I also picked up two BEE themed character education books too, I just didn't take pictures of them! (Maybe I should mention what my teaching buddy spent, but if her hubby sees this blog, she'd kill me!)

Our next stop to shop was  The Christmas Tree Shops...no it's not a Christmas store, per say, it's a seasonal menagerie and cheap prices. I've been on a Pinterest kick these past few weeks and I have found the cutest ways to de-clutter your desk. Use a cookbook stand for your lesson plan binder, so it's off the desk and gives you some room...

Can you see the price? Yep only $4.99...then I found these:

Only $1.99 each, I am going to make the dry erase "to do" boards, that are all over Pinterest right now..yellow and black for my BEE Theme! Maybe that will be my Monday Made it???...so many things to get done before I leave next Tuesday...look what I found at Target's dollar spot too...

Too cute to resist!

Well have fun shopping this week-end, I think I am done...need to start making things now!
