1st Pinterest Project

I am so happy that I finally completed a project! I made these pots a few weeks ago to give to my fabulous administration and the awesome ladies that work in the office. I also did a big pot for my room mom but forgot to take a picture. Now that it's summer I hope to finish many more cute projects that I've been pinning away. I'm also happy to get back to blogstaking. I've been slacking for awhile so I need to catch up on what everybody's up to.

I got my inspiration from Cara Carroll at The First Grade Parade. Aren't her painted pots precious?!

I'm linking up with Tara's first "Made it Monday" linky party at Fourth Grade Frolics! Click her button to see many other projects.

End of the Year Gifts

I've been crafting a little bit lately and personalizing these sunglasses cases for some important helpers in my classroom. I got the cases at the Dollar Tree, probably my favorite store. And I used freezer paper stencils to paint the initials. Just print of whatever you want to stencil and if you aren't familiar with making freezer paper stencils here's a good tutorial. I LOVE freezer paper now that I've found out how easy it is to use. I even used it at school to let my kids make t-shirts for the 100th day. That's why their numbers look so neat=)

Four more days to go! I've got a lot of cleaning and organizing to do in those four days!!
