Hi peeps! I hope your week is off to a fabulous start. I suddenly felt the desire to post about some crafty projects I have created this year.
This is my marker holder I created from a 25 cent lazy Susan from a yard sale and empty mandarin orange cans. I painted the lazy Susan and then covered the cans with paper and these labels. Last I glued the cans on with liquid nails (from Lowe's).
Here are my bumble bee stools that I created from Ikea trash cans. I bought the plain black ones for $2.99 each, turned them over, and painted every other row yellow with plastic paint.
They stay in my art area. Aren't they "BEE"utiful!
(I have a bumble bee theme. Click here to view my bee room.)
Here is my clipboard that I use for Daily 5 check in. I made it from an old clipboard that was being tossed out. I Modge Podges the cute craft paper onto the front and added some "bee"dazzle with stickers and ribbon.
Here is my last little creation. I created it based on this Pinterest idea. I use it as an incentive for good behavior. Whenever I spot someone making good choices I ask them to sign the Super Star Board.
At the end of the week I roll these little dice that are labeled to match the header and side numbers. The kiddos whose names match the coordinates get a special prize.
I hope you enjoyed my show and tell of my recent crafty projects. I was wondering if anyone could be so kind and tell me how to link my blog to my blog name when I leave comments on other blogs? Sigh, I just really would like to know.
Love it all, especially the superstar board!!

I used the same tutorial that Angela mentioned. It takes a minute to type it out, but then I just copy and pasted the code to a sticky on my desktop so it's always there (except for now when I'm on my school computer:)
