Monday Made-It!

Today was the first day I got into my classroom and started putting things in order. I'm going from desks to tables this year and rearranging where everything, but my desk is because my desk is too heavy for me to move!

I know it looks like a horrid mess, but this represents love to me! I've been trying to create the worlds largest tape ball. Each day students from the school bring me tape that has been removed from various projects around the school to add to my collection. They marvel at the size the ball has grown to and are excited to think about how big it will get! I can't wait to see last years owlets bringing me their little offerings of love to add to the collection. I'll be binding this mass up with some tape to keep it all together before school begins in two weeks. Don't worry this isn't what I made for today's Made It!

Here is the first thing I made! It's amazing I got much done at school because one of the people I like talking to most in the whole wide world was there. The kindergarten teacher and I worked hard to keep our own space, but we both wandered in and out of each other's rooms  for "Brain Breaks"!
Then I saw this on facebook and I had to make a cupcake coffee run! The Shot-in-the-Dark with rich chocolate cupcake filled and topped with Vanilla Buttercream, and dipped in a Chocolate Ganache made
a very satisfying lunch!

Wipe away the drool...This was my
cupcake! I drank the coffee for you, Tara!

Back to what I made after having that shot of caffeine! I finished the schedule I have posted in my room. I made the owl clocks with my Cricut and added a clock face to their fronts. I can easily change the times and activities according to the day. I had this extra pocket chart tucked away in a closet and decided I either needed to use it or give it away. I'm so glad I found a use for it!

The animals for each letter of the alphabet is my pride and joy. I love paper. I love it's color and texture. I love putting different patterns and colors together to create homemade items. With each animal that I made, I was sure that it was my favorite. I'm giving a set away and keeping a set for myself. 

This is all 26!

Here is a little test for you! Can you guess which animals these are?

I start with the letter U!

I start with the letter X!
