Getting Crafty

     I've discovered so many new things this summer since I started blogging - Linky Parties, Thermal Laminators and everyone's favorite - Pinterest!  Who knew?  After spending weeks pinning amazing ideas that had me talking out loud to my computer, "OMG, how cute is that?  I need one of those!" I decided that it was time to make some of my inspirations come to life.  So, I headed out early this morning and hit Joann's, Michael's, Walmart and Lowes.  Five hours and too many dollars later, I arrived back home armed with ribbon, fabric, containers, organizers and a bunch of other stuff that I'm not even sure what I'm going to do with yet.
     The first project I tackled was a really cute one.  Marlana over at Lil' Country Kindergarten made a set of really adorable pencil buckets for her sharpened and unsharpened pencils.   I knew when I saw them that I absolutely had to have some too.  I found these great little buckets that actually have pencils on them - how perfect is that? (I found them at Walmart in the celebrations section with all of the party supplies and they were only 97 cents!)
     I made some cutsie labels with picture clues, printed them on cardstock and voila - Project #1 done! I love the way they came out!  If you'd like a copy of the labels just click below the picture.  I wonder which project I'll have fun with tomorrow?

  6. I've called over 5 different Walmarts in my area and no one seems to have these buckets. I am so sad! They are adorable. Thanks for sharing your labels.

  10. Thank you for making the labels for us! I had already bought the same buckets this summer and have them ready with sharpened and needing sharpened pencils in them. I just hadn't taken the time to make the labels.

  12. Hi! Thanks so much for these! I plan on using them, but also wanted to make versions of them with the Spanish translation, I was wondering what font you used? - Thanks!

  19. Thank you so much for sharing your creations! I just used these to make a pair of pencil "buckets," and after having two broken pencil sharpeners this year from student use, I'll be using them and a student pencil custodian. Thanks again!

  26. I love these labels! Thank you so much for sharing them! I am trying out a "Lost Materials" bucket in my kindergarten classroom this year along with the "Sharpen Please" and "Ready to Write" buckets. I was wondering if you would be willing to create a matching label for me? I love your format, so it would be wonderful if all three buckets match! My email address is listed below. Thanks again!
