Three Things this post tackles:
1. Monday Made It
2. Teacher Week
3. Bloggy Birthday Alphapalooza

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I am glad that Tara posted her Monday Made It a day early because it got my crafting butt in gear! I am going to be posting early as well because this way I won't be staying up until 1am getting my post ready to go.

 Is it bad to say I'm kind of looking forward to the monthy made its to come back next month? I just can't keep up anymore! These lazy days of summer are killing me! I need to get back into a routine of waking up early! Hopefully next week will get me back on track because I don't have much time left until school starts! 

I have three quick little projects to link up the lovely Tara this week.

The first one is a little container for some warm fuzzies. 

I am all about the positive behavior reinforcement this year. These little guys will be perfect! Can't wait to put them to good use! It was so simple to create! Use a dollar spot container, add a washi tape stripe, slap a label on the front and tie some ribbon on the ends. Easy and cute!

Next, I have a simple pom-pom that I created. 

Everyone was making their own so I just had to jump on board! (Obviously keeping with the blue and green theme!) I love how it turned out! 

Finally, I "created" a button for a linky party that I am hosting on student teaching reflections and advice. I want to be the best student teacher that I can be and I am turning to my blogging friends for help. If you would like to link up, click the button to join! I would really appreciate it!

I struggle big time when creating buttons. I love whatever everyone else creates but when I try and create something, I never love it. I don't have a good eye for graphic design I guess. However, I loved how this one turned out! And I didn't even use my traditional blue and green! That's what I call a success!

Thanks for hosting Tara! I can't wait to see what everyone else created!

It also just so happens to be Teacher Week at Blog Hoppin!

 

I had to link up today since it would probably be the only day of the week that I am able to link up.

Hope you learned some new facts about me! I loved getting to know some of my favorite bloggers better today too! Happy Teacher Week!
