My first Monday Made-it!!!!! w/ a Freebie!

I don't know how some of you get all your work and cutesy crafts done...oh wait, yes, I do!  You probably don't have one of these running around your house....

My sweet two-year old keeps me busy during the day, so the only time I can really do any sort of blogging or school work is when she is asleep.  I've been so excited to get some of my school stuff finished that I have had a few late nights recently.  So...I present to you...my very first...Monday Made-It!!!

My first project to tackle was the ever-so-popular Teacher Toolbox.  I got a 22-drawer toolbox from Home Depot.  I researched a lot of different "toolboxes" on Pinterest to decide on which labels to put on my drawers.  I created my labels and printed them on patterned cardstock paper, laminated them, cut them out, attached the labels with tape to the drawers, and VOILA! ;)  I am a LITTLE skeptical of whether or not some of the items (like pencils) are going to actually fit in the drawers since they don't seem big enough.  If I have to change a few of the lables, no biggie.  I think it will still be really useful.  Here are some pictures of the steps...

I rounded off the edges to help the labels fit a little better in the drawers.

Tape along the sides.

Finished product!! :)  Do you think it's "too much" to have all the drawers with the SAME cardstock?  I have a feeling I may have to change a few things up once I get into my classroom anyway, but we'll see.

I have seen these R-E-A-D letters popping up all over blog land, so I when I went to Michael's a few days ago and went into the wooden letter aisle, I was not impressed with the "fonts" that they had. Then, I saw these cute, little, glittery letters. They are quite smaller than what I've seen others doing, but I'm going to make it work. I know I technically didn't do anything to make these, but I will be putting magnets on them!  haha  The picture doesn't do the glitter justice...

Yesterday, I saw this post on Miss Kindergarten's blog about a "Where Are We?" board.  I went to Target with my sweet girl to get a few supplies, so my time was limited.  This was my only stop to find the supplies to make it.  It isn't PERFECT, but I think it will work really nicely.  I did buy Miss Kindergarten's "Where Are We Cards" on TPT, but I think that the pink color scheme may clash a little with my green and yellow classroom "theme" colors.  HOWEVER, I love the cute graphics and font.  What do you think?
