Monday Made It!

It's been a whole week since I've blogged - yikes!  Stop by tomorrow to see what I've been up to.  In the meantime, we are going to celebrate another Monday Made-It with Tara!


My Monday Made-It isn't all that fancy this week.  I was going to head to the craft store, but the real-feel temperature outside is 100 degrees right now.  I decided to stay put in my nice, cool air conditioning.  I created some labels for the bins that I blogged about last week {see them here}. 





I think they came out really cute!  But...I'm not going to use them.  Those things were a royal pain to cut out!  I may lean more towards a circle or square shaped label, with a little less of a scalloped border. I'll share once I come up with those!

Last year I used bins to organize my weekly plans {see them here}, but they didn't work out so well.  I found that the papers always tipped over and curled up.  Drove.Me.Crazy.  This year, I'm thinking of using plastic drawers, like these:


I already own some (okay, a lot) of sets of these drawers but they are at school.  I created some labels, but I have no idea if they are going to fit!  Hopefully I can get into my classroom at the end of the week and measure my drawers.  I do like the way they came out though!  And they match my green-pink-blue theme!



Happy Monday!

  2. I love the labels! Even though I home school my two kids I can defiantly use some of these. Do you sell a downloadable version? Thanks!

  3. Cute! I have a file folder for my daily week, but using those drawers sound like a better idea :)

  7. Loving your labels! I am planning on using those drawers to organize centers - one drawer for each group.

  9. It's warm in Kentucky, too! Love your beautiful frames, but I hate cutting...so I'm with you. :) Also, I love how artsy you got with the camera today!
