Busy Bee

I feel like I have been a busy bee since the last time that I posted something! Not crafting as much as I wish. I can say that I have bought several things to start projects, but I have not completed but a few.

Here is a picture of my classroom door. I teach 8th grade ELA and I figured the students would either love or make fun of my snowman...and to my surprise, most of them LOVE it!! I got the idea off of Pinterest!

~notice the monogram on the side of the scarf? FST (Frosty the Snowman) LOL!

Skip back to Halloween....
       I wanted a cool bucket to give out candy. When I was at Michaels one day I saw this witches bucket and I just had to have it. I also bought paint pens to decorate it. The bucket was $9 plus 50% off + my 15% teacher's discount. I also got the pain pens with a 50% off coupon so they were $8 for 5-6 colors.








I messed up the wording because I was trying to be so perfect on it, and there is nothing to take it off, at least not at my house. So I might fix it next Halloween. What do you think? I bought way too much candy and ended up taking it to school to give to my students.





One Saturday morning two other teachers and I got together and I showed them how to make cheap coasters. We decided to make them for the other teachers as a Christmas present. The two monogrammed ones are for the teachers that I taught my new skill too and the purple and yellow ones are for the teachers at the school. It is an easy task....$0.16 tiles from Home Depot, hot glue, paper (pictures, scrapbook paper, etc), modge podge, acrylic, and cork board that you can get at Joanns is a big roll for cheap $2 or so.

I am going to try and be better at blogging. I might have to blog about more than just my crafts since I am not completing things that I start.
 Is anyone else bad about not completing projects that you start? Or buying things and never even beginning? I am guilty of both.

I am going to the mountains this weekend, I am so ready to get away and enjoy time with my husband, sister, and her husband.

Enjoy!! :)
