Gettin' Crafty

I'm FINALLY linking up with Tara at 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made It!

With only 13 days left of my summer vaca, I've been kicking it into high gear to get some of these projects completed before I head back to school.  The floors are still not finished so I am not allowed in my classroom yet...Did I mention I'm moving classrooms?  I'm trying really hard not to stress about the fact that I'm unable to work in my room (let alone move out of the old and into the new!) so I am trying to put my frustration into completing what I can here at home.  Here are a few things I've been working on:

Birthday Balloons! The crazy straws came from the dollar store, the polka dot canister from the dollar spot at Target, and the balloon template from Mrs. H here.

 Here is my new alphabet organizer!  I think I'm going to use this for organizing magnetic letters.  The box came from Hobby Lobby (advent calendar) and the letters are scrapbook letters. Mine doesn't look quite as nice as Nicole's....but it will do.  Check hers out here.

 I just love my retelling rope! The pieces came from JoAnn's and Michaels.  This idea came from Kelli at Castles and Crayons and April at Chalk Talk.

Last share for today.  I know you've seen this one!  It's been floating all over Pinterest for months.  :)  I've had my toolbox sitting in the corner of the dining room and it was definitely time to pull off the plastic and get to labeling.  I used scrapbook paper and labels from Create*Teach*Share.

I'll plan to link up next week too so I can share more pictures of recently completed projects!
