Fun Stuff!!

I got my crate seats done last night!  Check out the cuteness!  

I love these guys!  I really need to find some yellow crates!  I got these red ones at Wal-Mart for $3.97.  The fabric was about $5/yd and I used 1/4 of a yard for each seat.  The batting was about $5.  Hubby had the wood:-)  Cheap, adorable, useful, colorful addition to my classroom!  


A few days ago I blogged about a contest that Sarah over at http://fcsandthensome.blogspot.com/ was having!  I joined in with her give away and am so happy to announce that the winner of a "Hanging Hero" is Crystal!  Congrats!  I'll be getting her Hero to her this week!  If you want to check out the product click the pic:-)  I'm offering free shipping this week!

Off to make a tooth fairy bag. How pathetic...I should be out by the pool!  

Woohoo for Wal-Mart!

What a successful trip to Wal-Mart!  I found these super cute bookmarks and the little yellow bins (can never have enough) for 88 cents!  Gotta love it!

Another exciting Wal-Mart find (which is why I went in the first place but got distracted by 88 cent school supplies) was red crates.  I'm making the cutie crate chairs that I saw at clutterfreeclassroom:-)  And, how about topping it off with super dooper cute fabric with ladybugs on it!  Doesn't take much to make a teacher excited does it?  I'll post pics of the chairs when they are done.  Hubby doesn't get the urgency of the whole project and hasn't cut the board yet:-(  


I also found canvas bags that I will be using to make my tooth fairy bags!  I was on the prowl for fabric pens when my hubby called the teacher shopping to a halt!  RATS! I'll post a pic of the bags when they are done.  It'll go along with my new Tooth Fairy packet that will be on Tpt soon!

Alphabet Letter Exchange

So my hubby is outside working on building a new fence around our pool equipment.  I'm inside "working" by blog hopping!  Who is having more fun???

There's fun to be had at First Grade Found Me!  



Chrissy over at First Grade Found Me is doing an adorable letter exchange for some Chicka Chicka Boom Boom fun!  I hope tons of you will visit her and join in on the fun!

Here's how it works:

1. Your class will be assigned a letter of the alphabet and put into a group with 25 other teachers. Each teacher would have their class decorate 26 of that letter. A template like the letter below will be provided. You'll print it on cardstock and have your class decorate it. Decorate it however you like, just have fun and get creative!

2. You'll need to mail 25 of the letters to the members of your group and you'll keep one. Each teacher is responsible for their own postage charges. At the end of the project you should have a complete, unique, student-made alphabet!

3. You could also include a short letter about your class, school, and where you live. This is optional.

Here's the link to Chrissy!

Apples Galore!

Over a month since I last posted:-(  Oops!  It's summer so not much happening anyway.  I just finished my apple unit and posted it in my Tpt store.  Hooray!  I was a little concerned about doing an apple unit at first because it's totally been done.  Once I started working on it I really got going and I love the final product!  My favorite part is the cute "apple basket" students make to keep all of their apple themed work in.  Fun!
