I am linking up with 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Make-It. I have so many projects started, but only finished a couple of them. I tend to be ADD on my projects and have a hard time staying on one project at a time. One of these days I will show you my craft table, it is out of control, lol.
I made a class set of leis for a bloggy buddy that matches her classroom. I love the color combination.
The colors are so cheerful to me. My little ones love their center leis, sometimes they change centers just so they can get a different color, lol.
I have a ton of clip art, just like all of us. So I made a binder, so I can quickly glance to see what I have in each file. I get so frusturated when I am lookin for something and can't find it. Yes, I have bought the same file twice, geez.
First, I made a template in Publisher with text boxes, then added a picture frame inside of those boxes. So when I added clip art it would stay within that box. I added the title of the folder at the bottom. Printed them out and put in plastic sleeves. I am not finished with the binder, yet. It will probably take a couple of binders. Everytime, I buy a new clip art set, then I will make the little cheat sheet - hopefully.
I made a memory with my grand daughter.
I can't believe that my sweet girl will be starting 6th grade this week. Everyone needs new clothes for school. I gave her a budget, which I ended up spending double of that - because everything she tried on looked adorable on her. I started having a few tears, when she walked out of the dressing room wearing this outfit. We finished the day having lunch at Olive Garden. I am the luckiest grandma in the world.
Ok, head on over and see what everyone else is doing. I keep a notebook next to me so I can write down the links and all the great ideas.
I hope you have a SUPER week.
That is a great idea to organize clip art! Now to find the time LOL.. Your grand daughter is adorable I can see how you spent double!!
ReplyDeleteI saw the clip-art binder last week too. I need to get busy making one of those!
ReplyDeleteYour grand daughter is too cute. My kiddos get a shopping trip with their grandma this week too. It is so nice with all we are spending on school supplies, enrollment, etc. to have someone help out with the clothes - I'm sure your son/daughter feels the same way!
