Post It Note Clip Boards

I just wanted to take a minute to post about some of the gifts I am giving to my kids.



1. Post-it Note Clip Boards
Aren't they adorable? 

Steps to create: 
1. You either need good (non cardboard) coasters or you can get cork board anywhere they sell crafting items. I personally used cork board. I cut each larger squares into about 9 total small squares.
2. Next using scrapbook paper and a glue gun I wrapped the paper as neatly as possible around the entire thing. you end up folding the ends like you are wrapping a present. It doesn't look to bad when you are done either!. 
3. With cork board, you will need to half the post it note pads. The full size of one post it note pad is too large to get the medium sized gator clip over the whole thing. 
4. Voila! You have Post it Note Clip Boards! You can always decorate the clips with stickers and ribbon as well! :] 


I have also made my kids bookmarks using colorful large paper clips and ribbon in the school colors. I am so sad to not be able to see these kids every day, but they have taught me a lot. With any luck, I will have taught them something too!


I'll keep posting pictures of the gifts as I work on them! There's plenty more to come!

College... is Ending....

So with all the excitement about making it through full time, getting to spring break, and thinking about grad parties.... I've realized something. College... is ending!!!! It's been quite a ride. I've made a lot of friends. Lost a lot of friends. Had a lot of awkward moments. But I also had a lot of great moments. So that being said, here is the Disney story about college. Fitting for an elementary ed major right?? :]
