Keeping Up With Kirbys

Oh, little blog, how I've missed you! ....and it's Monday Made It #4 with Tara                                                           I have truly taken on a project WAAAY bigger than me.  This little  project is now going on 2 weeks and after bruised knees, blisters on the palms, and sore muscles, we are ALMOST finished.  (yes, I said almost, it's still not done)  But it's going to be beautiful. This is the tile we've been laying in our house (almost entire house).  Isn't it beautiful??!!  This picture is without the grout but this little  project has kept me from blogging, properly feeding my children, doing laundry (I'm okay with this), and leaving the house. Summer Fun We found small smooth rocks in our neighborhood and after they were nice and warm from sitting in the sun we colore...

Well, this is my. very. first. linky. linkup. (GASP!)  It took my friend Michelle  to explain this to me.  really?! .......I was just kinda afraid I'd mess something up. BUT now that I've explained that this is my first time, I'm sure y'all will be forgiving.  right?  Obviously, I have been busy crafting but nothing for my classroom (soon....very soon, I will) so I thought, what a perfect linky to begin with.  I'm linking up with  Tara at 4th Grade Frolic This little craft is bitter sweet.  My lil' sass and I transformed her Disney Princess toy box (once again, i feel the need to explain our floor renovations....please excuse our mess) into a big girl storage chest.  A friend bought me some contact paper from TJ Max and that is what I used to cover the lid.  She LOVES it!   Okay in other news, our swimming pool motor blew up (smoke and all) on the very first Saturday we were out of school.  Geeezz!!--and it took...

What a wonderful summer Saturday.  First, me and lil' sass woke up early and went to a few  garage sales.  Well.......I actually knew a friend was having a garage sale so we went to hers.  ha!!  She probably didn't make any money, her HEART is so BIG she just kept giving stuff away.  Some of my fun finds that we added a little of our own sass to.  We added the cute tutu to sass up the trash can.    I think tutus make everything cuter......... Next, we sassed up this cute stool. Oh and yes, the Disney Princess' toy box is next......   Please excuse our floor renovation mess, hopefully soon we will have new floors but in the meantime let the crafting commence on the living room floor. (hahahaha!!) Play doh I have a confession.....I have a teacher crush on Babbling Abby  and while I was stalking  admiring her latest post I saw that she was making Play doh.  I LOVE to make Play doh BUT this was a little differe...

I'm a little embarrassed to admit to this but I have thought so much about my little blog since my first post.  Super silly, I know.  I just couldn't wait to share again and then to see that I have someone following..........gasp!!--makes it all the more EXCITING!! LOOK at this amazing little ??, well, I'm not actually sure what it is but as I was packing up the classroom yesterday someone asked me if I wanted it.  UUUMMMM.......yes!!  It is a treasure and I 'm soooo excited to do something with it.  One side is a cork board and the other side is a white board with shelves in the middle.  This looks sooo stinkin' fun!! -I would love to hear your ideas on how you would use this.  I'm going to be dreaming about this thing all summer.  ha!-the things that excite a teacher. :)
