Monday Made It...On Wednesday!

Yes you read the title of this post correct, and no, we are not going back to Monday, I am just late the game...again! I have so many crafty projects I want to do this summer, so I am super sad that this is the last week in June! Where is my summer going???

One of my favorite things about summer is Tara's Monday Made It posts!  I love seeing everyone's craftiness.

This week's project was made for my IRL and bloggy BFF Amber over at Adventure's of a Third Grade Teacher. It was her birthday and of course we had a party!!!

What is something that all teachers like??? School Supplies!! I whipped up this super easy post it note holder. Get a plastic picture frame, cut scrap booking paper to fit, glue a pad of sticky notes on and done! Easy peasy!

What have you been working on? Link up with Tara!

Monday Made It -Christmas Edition

I can't believe it's already December!  This is a super busy month, but add in the twins birthday and it is non-stop from the beginning of the month.  I have two fun things to share for Monday Made it.  I love linking up with Tara :)

At the beginning of November, I was asked if I wanted to participate in an advent ornament exchange.  It is based off the devotion, A Meaningful Christmas.

The way it works is you get 24 people who are each willing to make an ornament that represents a specific scripture reference.  After getting your scripture, you then make 24 of the same ornament.  Before December begins you have a fun get together with lots of treats.  We had a sweet and savory side and even had a hot chocolate bar!  Then everyone puts out their ornaments and you put them in your box.  

 My ornament I made.  I call him 
Don-ke-hotey

To create this cute guy, start with two clothespins.  Paint one brown completely, the other one leave a little white at the bottom.  Then glue them together and attach googly eyes.  I used a scripture I found online to make his little sack.  Wrap raffia around him to complete the look.

 Here are all 24 of my donkeys!  I painted them in the hospital while Raegan was recovering!

My second 'Made it' isn't Christmas related, but for my twins December birthday.  They are in love with Sesame Street, so that is our theme!  I created this cute pinspired invite.

Check back for updates on the party and all things Christmas!

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!!!!
