I love linky parties!

I'm linking up at 2 blogs today.  First is the usual Monday Made It with Tara at 4th Grade Frolics:

This past week I was working on organization (which never seems to be done).  I made schedule cards for my white board
redecorated my clipboards....need to buy some more duct tape!

and ordered a ton of stuff from Vistaprint.  I got groupon for $70 worth of product for $17!  Can't beat that!  Here's some of the stuff I ordered:
rubber stamp
business card for bucket fillers
business card for student login info
welcome postcard

desk fairy cards
holiday cards--postcards
small car door magnet
rack card used for DEAR bookmark
address labels for library
punch card for Jiji math
View Larger
notepad
sticky notes
magnets with Texas image uploaded
I also got some free pens, an address stamp, and business cards with contact information.

Next, I'm linking up with Kristen at Ladybug's Teacher Files to share what I've bought for my classroom.  In addition to the things above for Monday Made It, I've hit up the Dollar Tree like craaaaaazy!





I've bought 18 of these white shoe organizers from the Dollar Tree to use for math manipulatives.
 I've bought 22 of these somewhat larger organizers with blue lids for my supply closet.

The picture of the pink bins from is Stephanie at Teaching in Room 6.  I bought 26 of these same bins in pink, lime green, and blue from the Dollar Tree and hope to have my library as organized as hers!






Shopping and crafting....what better way for a teacher to spend a summer!

  4. You have been quite busy crafting and shopping. I agree that's lots of fun. I like your clipboards. I have been absorbing all the variations so I can figure out what I want to do. I also like your no name magnet. I will have to add that on when I do my Vistaprint/Groupon order.

    Thanks for sharing

  7. Hi Brandi,

    Your blog is super cute! Your vista print creations are awesome and I am super jealous of math organization. I need to work on that this summer too!

  13. You've been a busy little crafter! Thanks for the heads up on the Vistaprint Groupon (I usually send Groupon emails straight to trash. Sooooo much junk mail!)

    I'm following you now!

  15. Oh oh oh!!! I love Vistaprint! Pretty jealous of your awesome groupon. I just had a DUH moment about your address labels for the inside of your books. What a cute and easy way to label them with your name!
