My lil DIY Projects & Birthday Goodies

Hey all! This will be a quick lil post because this is my first official day for the 2012-13 school year! Yikes! I'll admit it...did NOT like the sound of that alarm clock this morning! Could someone please invent a soothing sound that could gently wake you up??? I'm telling you that buzzing sCrEEEEching noice that echos from my alarm clock is enough to give me a darn heartattack!!! Well, the good news is...it did wake me up... AND... I didn't actually have a heartattack AND...I had a few minutes to share a few of my last minute DIY projects. The first one is my "Kiss your Brain" treat bucket...
I just LOVE LOVE Dr. Jean's "Kiss your Brain" song & can't wait to hand out these kisses when I find someone that is working super-hard and deserves to kiss their brain! I made it with a mini-paint can that I found at Michaels, then added cutsie letter stickers & hot glued a big ole bow around the can! WahLah!! I love the small size can-I can actually fill it up with Hershey's Kisses without spending a fortune. I can't take the credit for this cute idea...saw it on Pinterest {during one of my 3am "Pinterest Cruises"!} I also wanted to make some lil back-to-school gift for my own kiddos to give to their teachers......

Click the pic to download a copy of my dry erase board background {w/o name at top}
the "Picture Frame Dry Erase Board"! These are soooo easy to make...just print out a sheet to put in the frame & hot glue a cute bow on it and you're DONE! I found the little bright-colored dry erase markers at Target {they even have a little eraser on the top-very handy!} I kinda wondered how a dry erase marker would work on the glass...well....it works great! My kids are really excited to take them to their teachers!

And the last lil thing that I want to show you today is my birthday balloon treats...
I used glow sticks for the sticks on the balloons {Michaels had a package of 15 Glo Sticks for $1!} I found that cute lil black bucket in the Target Dollar Bins {they also had pink, blue & silver buckets...how did Target know what colors I was using in my classroom this year!?!?} I attached the Glo Stick with tape & added curling ribbon then stuck them in my lil bucket filled with crinkle cut shedded paper...Happy Birthday to you! Well, thats it for today...I'm off to school to finish up my hall bulletin board & get everything together for Open House. I'll be sure to grab my camera so I can share my classroom pics with you! Don't forget-everything in my TpT shop is on sale right now & TpT is offering an additional 10% off! {Use PROMO CODE: BTS12} HURRY...Sale ends tonight!

Happy Monday!!!

    I'd be willing to pay for a copy, too, but I did not see a copy in either one of your stores for TN or TPT. I would love, love, love a copy someway! These are so adorable! What a great idea. Thanks again.

      I want to share this great testimony to the world on how Dr VOODOO cure me from HSV1&2 with his herbs, I was nervous when i first contact him about the cure for HSV but i decided to give him a try because i was desperate to get cured and be free from HSV. Dr VOODOO prepared the remedy and sent it to me through UPS,which I use just the way Dr VOODOO instructed me and thank God today I am a beneficiary to this cure and I went back to the hospital after 7 days of taking the herbs and I tested HSV1&2 Negative. So I will tell you all who are looking for a cure to his/her HSV1&2 that Dr VOODOO took research before he could finally get the solution to it and a lot of people are benefiting from him right now. He also cured my friend from HPV. Dr VOODOO heals with natural herbs. Please I urge you to contact him now through his email address: voodoospelltemple66@gmail.com or call and WhatsApp him on +2348140120719. He is capable of curing HIV/AIDS, HERPES, HPV, HSV1&2, CANCER of all kinds, DIABETES and so many other infections.

    I love your "kiss your brain" jar! What a sweet way to let your kids know you are "noticing" them:) Your dry erase frames are brilliant, too! What a great gift idea! I hope your first day went well:) I also wanted to let you know that I purchased a few of your units during the sale and I posted them on my blog with a link to your store. I am always super happy with your units!

      Oh my! I think this is where I saw one of the Kiss your Brain jars, but there are oodles of them out there! Try www.lewislearninglibrary.blogspot.com or just search on Pinterest! The dry erase board idea was inspired by a Weekly Menu Board that was posted here: http://www.makeandtakes.com/wipe-off-weekly-menu-board

    Love this idea...and no candy involved. I've seen it before made with Pixie Sticks! I think I have enough Glo-Sticks in the closet at school to make these for my class this year!!!

    Hello views, I am so excited to share this wonderful story here .

    I was diagnosed with herpes virus and I was told there was no cure except medication that can control it, I totally lost hope, all I could think was losing my life because I was so depressed and confused about the whole situation , few weeks ago I read about Dr Oso online how he cured someone from cancer which was guaranteed, but i never still believe on it but i decided to give a try on him so I ordered the medicine after using it for few days i started experiencing changes all over me so i waited until i finish using the medication, so after everything I went for blood test to confirm if i am really healed from this virus to my greatest surprise it came out negative i jump up and shattered oh my goodness what a wonderful miracle i never believed in . I am so excited to share my testimony. Thank you so much Dr Oso . You are a great man. I must tell everyone I know who has any kind of disease or virus. you can also email him on via drosohaberhome@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp +2348162084839
