Monday Made It

I've had a pretty busy summer creating so I thought I would show you a few highlights in this edition on Monday Made It!

We are blessed with walls at school that are just a HUGE bulletin board. No cinder blocks everything can be stapled into the wall. I have a few quotes that I have hung up for years but I jazzed them up a bit! I bought this wooden frames from Michales Craft store and just painted them the colors I needed and placed my min posters in them! As you can see I had a little help. I can't wait to hang these on the walls!

My second project I want to share is these adorable invitations I made from my son's Birthday. I almost always order through Shutterfly and end up spending WAY too much and it never dawned on me that I could just make it! I love the way they came out AND I saved myself a ton of money by making a JPEG and printing them at Walmart!

 Yup that is a crayon with my blog name on it! How cool is that. We took a small road trip to the Crayola Experience and had a blast! There is so much for the kids to do, and the gift shop is a teacher's dream come true! If you get the chance I would totally make the trip. They have a few locations just click on the image below to see their page!

Here are a few shots of my own loves having fun!

Summer allows me to get in the kitchen more and I discovered two fantastic recipes! The first one was for this pleo granola. It made the whole house smell wonderful while it was in the oven! You can find the recipe HERE

 The second recipe the whole family enjoyed was Spinach Mac and Cheese! Everyone loves Mac and Cheese but throwing spinach in just makes you feel a bit better while pigging out!

Well that's it for me! Please stop by Fourth Grade Frolics page to see what other fabulous bloggers have been making!

Monday Made It- June 22

Happy Summer Everyone!
I am linking up with 4th Grade Frolics to show what I have made! My first project is from last summer. I never shared it so it still counts, right?!

When I decided to go with a color theme to my classroom I really didn't want to buy all new stuff so I invested in A LOT of spray paint. I had this toy/bin organizer that I loved.

  With some time and spray paint I was able to turn it into this!

 I love how it turned out. I get complements on it and often followed by, "Where did you get that?" I am always so proud to say I made it :)

My next Monday made it comes from home. My hubby and son had a joint 4th/40th Birthday. Star Wars theme of course, and I made these delicious cakes!

I am no pro but I think they came out pretty nice! Here is a family photo at the party while we are in our Star Wars gear!

Don't forget to hop on over to 4th Grade Frolics so you can see all the wonderful Monday Made It posts!
