Monday Made It!

I am happy to link up with Tara from 4th Grade Frolics for this week's MONDAY MADE IT!  :)  I am seriously 3 years late to jump on the bandwagon of this Teacher Toolbox idea..how have I not noticed this for 3 years, and how have I lived without it?  I love organization, and I love knowing where everything is...this toolbox will help me with both of these!

So, I purchased this toolbox from Home Depot online because it is already black.

Many people online have purchased the one from Lowes, but it is blue and I did not want to take the time to spray paint it!  But, then when I received the black one from Depot, I realized that the larger drawers have this little notch on the top inside, so I could not place the labels on the inside.  So, if you decide to purchase this one, please beware!

But honestly, this worked out so well!!!  This version made me think that I would just make everything colorful using scrapbook paper.  I LOVE how it turned out!  This is basically my color scheme from my classroom, so it works perfectly!

Have you made a teacher toolbox that you are in love with?!

Emma's 2nd Birthday Party and Monday Made It!

Today, I am super excited to share some pictures from Emma's 2nd birthday as well as to link up with Tara from Fourth Grade Frolics for Monday Made It!!  This is my very first Monday Made It, and honestly, I am even more excited that my very first Monday Made It happens to be about my favorite little munchkin in the whole entire world.  :)

So, I decided for Emma's birthday this year, we would have a pink lemonade stand considering summer SCREAMS lemonade and adorable lemonade stands.

Here is the link I found on Pinterest that inspired this lemonade stand!

Emma's pink lemonade stand birthday party was a HUGE success!!  Family, friends, lemonade, bubbles, playing outside, cake and presents...a little girl's heaven!!  :)

We are so lucky...AGAIN...that the rain held out until after cake.  Last year, and then this year, we had friends and family tracking the weather to make sure that we did not get stuck in the rain!!  :)'

If you want any info on how we made the lemonade stand, just let me know!!
