My Debut

I am so excited to be joining the world of blogging.  I have been blog stalking for a while now and have finally decided to jump on the bandwagon!!  I am anxiously awaiting the start of school.  It is just around the corner....Yikes!!!  I have had so much fun being crafty and stealing so many of your wonderful ideas.  I wanted to use my first post to share a few things that I have made for my classroom. 

Last year I had the handy dandy bucket seats but they were very plain and needed a little something extra.  I was inspired by a post I saw at Hanging Out in Third Grade Blogspot.  You can see what she did here. I added a coat of paint, some cute ribbon, and voila.......just perfect!!!  I have to give credit where credit is due. My very talented sister made my fabric covers.  They are super cool.  She added elastic so that they just stretch over the bucket.  I was able to pull them off and toss them in the washer this summer.  Important detail to remember!!! 



I have always had a difficult time trying to figure out how to store those pesky clipboards.  Well......when I saw the post from Step into Second Grade, I just could not resist the urge to make my own.  You can see her creation here.  I was also inspired by Kinder-Craze to fancy up my Sterlite Drawers.  You can see her creation here.  She has a wonderful YouTube tutorial that you can view here.  The container on the left was something that I picked up at Walmart in the garden department.  I decided to fancy it up for my forever books. 

I have been a busy camper.  I have lots of classroom creations to share so stay tuned!!!
