Monday Made It!

Happy Monday (a.k.a. my last day of summer break!)!

I want to share two things I'm excited about.

The first is my Monday Made It: 

I've been wanting to link up with Tara forever, but there was one little problem...I'm not crafty, at all! Luckily I totally have accepted this and now know not to spend money on supplies for a Pinterest project (or recipe), because I can already predict the outcome :)

This Monday Made It is a little different though because it didn't cost me anything! I've already posted about spraying my "vintage" teacher desk with chalkboard paint. I had plenty of paint leftover and found this wooden caddy in my basement. It's been holding random hardware things for about 15 years. 

Here's what I did to it:

I used the chalkboard paint, a little washi tape, and sticker-label. 

Darn it, I forgot the black & white cute ribbon - you'll have to picture it :)

I'm not exactly sure if I'm going to use it or not. 

Maybe I can create a writing station with it? 

I also wanted to share a solution to a problem I was having:

It's a tiny little speaker that you can hook your phone (or any music source) to. I'm playing music at my presentation next week & was pleasantly surprised how loud this played! It will be very handy for brain breaks and other classroom musical activities. It's from IHome and I picked it up at Target for $19.99.

Gotta get back to business, tomorrow morning will arrive before I know it!

Have a wonderful week :)
