A Few Shopping Finds and Washi Tape

Well, I'm that crazy cat that starts checking Wal-Mart and Target isles the week of July 4th. Yep. I have no idea why because that means school is right around the corner for me, but I can't help it. I LOVE school supplies. I'm have been stalking for the $ .25 Crayola crayons (Toys R Us this week)! I have noticed that most all great finds (Dollar Tree, Dollar Spot) are BRIGHT colors and well, I have primary colored tables remember?? I do have punches of orange, pink, etc in my room but not lots of brights. That has saved me a lot of money!

I did find this for all of your BRIGHT lovers at Big Lots!! Only $28!!!!


Okay. So I may be dating myself a bit, but how many of you had the packets of bright colored blue and pink notebook paper when you were in elementary school? You know...Lisa Frank? Well, I would be ALL OVER this if I were in elementary!


That was at Target but I was JUST at Wal-Mart and they had paisley and different patterns there too!

Okay...now I have a confession to make. I just bought my first roll of Washi Tape this week. I know. Where have I been? I was SUPER excited to do these.


All I needed was Washi Tape (Target), clothespins, scissors, and modge podge (not pictured).


Look how cute they turned out!!!!! I'm dying from the cuteness! Seriously!!! (It's the small things.)



I used these to hang up WOW work in my classroom. This was an empty space in my room and it worked perfect!


Okay...I'm off to the pool. I'll be back tomorrow with a Facebook Freebie!

  5. Love that colored drawer set! I worked with a teacher that used it to store her desk supplies(paper clips etc.), with labels of course. :) I wonder if it could be used for partner games?
