Finally finished.... for now

So remember those little crate buddies I posted about last time... well the Mr. and I finally got around to making them and they are so cute! I have seen them all over blogging land and I wanted some of my own. So I set out on a mission to complete them. I love how they turned out and I can't wait to use them in my classroom! 


Another thing that I have found on Pinterest that I made this week is the flat marbles. I decided to use these stickers (from Target $ spot), flat marbles, a foam paint brush and some modge podge to make these letters/numbers to use for some kind of spelling/math activity. I'm super excited about these! 


You can't really see them because the lighting is bad (sorry, iPhone pics) but the letters are on the left and  the numbers are on the right. They turned out better than I expected :) 

This next idea I got from the fabulous Abby at The Inspired Apple. Her rockstar room looks super cute. I made this banner and it was easy as pie! Click on over to her website and you'll see the instructions I followed. It was very simple and I love how my pennant banner turned out. I can't wait to get a classroom...eventually... and put everything I'm making in it. 



Yes, that's right. I'm only an intern teacher right now but eventually I will have my own classroom. While I have the time, I'm making as much as I can. I know once I graduate and start looking for a job things will get crazy and I will not have much time to be crafty. I can't believe I'm graduating in  4 1/2 months!!! Finally, what seems like forever is coming to an end. And then for my Master's in Educational Leadership... after a little break of course. That's all my school related news for now. 

The Mr. and I are going to spend the weekend on the beach relaxing before I am back into the swing of school and life gets crazy for the next few months. Finishing college, graduating and moving to a new place. It's going to be a busy next few months but bring it on! 

P.S. I got my Staples weekly deal today! 25 Composition notebooks for $0.10 each!!! Fabulous savings :)
