Craft Closet

So my craft closet had become insane.  So I took everything out (SCARY) and started organizing!
I had this shelf in the garage, so I brought it in and it fit perfect in the closet.
I then started putting things in baskets and boxes and labeled them with my Cricut.
I put all of my Christmas stuff up on top since I don't use it all year.
I am super excited to have everything organized.  It makes me want to make things even more!

Valentine's Gift

So, I wanted to do something different and cute for my 22 kindergartners this year for Valentine's Day.  So what do I do?  Go to Pinterest of course.  Here is what I did:

I went to my amazing Cricut and cut out circles on cute Valentine Paper.  Just FYI...I LOVE MY CRICUT!!!!!








I went to the kitchen and started filling up my hearts with crayons.  It actually took quite a bit of crayons.  I had close to a gallon size bag of crayons to make 22 hearts.  A lot of peeling. :(  But since I teach Kindergarten there is always tons of broken crayons everywhere, so this was super cheap! ! :)



I then used foam tape to put them on the circles.  Super cute, cheap Valentine present that my kids will love.

Walk at Home

So I am trying to get healthy and lose some weight.  I am not a real big fan of working out, but I do love to walk.  When the weather is nice, I head outside.  But, most days I stick in a DVD and "Walk at Home."  Leslie Sansone's videos are great!  I am really enjoying them and noticing a change in me.  I have 6 of her videos right now and each one is great!  I really love that I can throw one in and do a quick mile before work and then do 2-4 miles after work.  It is working for me and I'm loving it!

100th Day of Kindergarten

So...today was the 100th Day of School!  Great, fun, crazy day!  One of my favorite projects is the 100th Day Collection.  Students bring in 100 of any item.  They love finding something cool and I love that they are counting!!!!!  I then had them draw their items on the 100 Poster until we had 100 items.  Great day!
