Monday Made It....Finally!!!

Yay!  I may be late to the party, but I FINALLY have things to share on Monday Made It!  This is an awesome linky and am happy to link up with Tara


I have been so busy this weekend with all my DIY and Craftiness (is that a word????)  First up is an awesome toy box that my uncle built for the girls.  The hubs painted it to match their color scheme that has yet to be painted on the wall  that will be painted soon.  It is HUGE! The girls could get in it AND close the lid!  It is amazing to have so much storage.  


The next DIY came from something I saw on Pinterest (big shock right!?!?!)  I came across several pins of this bench made out of old milk crates.  Well I took that to the next level and the hubs and I spray painted the black crates white and zip tied them together. 

 Viola!  Awesome storage that it took the twins, 2.5 seconds to destroy!!!!

So both of those pieces were for my home, the next two are for my classroom.  I tried to resist, but jumped on the teacher toolbox bandwagon!  My bloggy friend Elizabeth, over at Fun in Room 4B made it so easy with her awesome template.  Keeping with my polka dot theme, I added polka dot and chevron backgrounds to her template.  It was easy, peasy!  


As if all that crafting wasn't enough, today while the twins were napping, I made this awesome Pinspired ribbon wreath!  It was super easy.


I can't wait to see the awesome crafts everyone else has been up too!!!!

    1. I used one of those wire wreaths and tied the different ribbons on there. I cut each ribbon to about 6in (didn't measure!) It was super easy!
