Share Your Office Space!


this month we are joining forces to show off our office spaces! I hope you find some amazing ideas and I cannot wait to see your space!
Be sure to check out the linky at the end and add your post too!

My Office
that's kind of a joke around here
because while this room is called my office
I only work in there during the summer!
The bed or the kitchen table are more times than not where I've plopped myself down with my trusty MacBook Pro, a McDonald's Diet Coke, and probably some potato chips!

Office utilized to full potential or not, I buy stuff for it all the time in the hopes I will use it more! And I know the hubs wishes I would! 
I started my gallery wall, I've added new gold desk accessories, and some lucite too!

But let's get to what I really use daily in this office!

every day. 

I make a habit of walking into this room to use them, too!
And as to not mislead you in any way...


This is to my back from the desk
it's the landing zone for craft purchases as you can see

I painted our old coffee table from Pier 1. Hubs shuddered. 
But I like it and it was beat to hell! 
I added my Lilly tray and an old banana leaf from Target...like way old...it's covered in dust!
We also inherited a lot of furniture when my dad moved into an assisted living home. 
This couch being one of them. 
a little note about this couch.
it's more than 100 years old
it smells like it's 100 years old
I was never allowed to sit on it when I was little
my porcelain doll collection was
a weird thing about my childhood home is that we did not have a living room where everyone sat and watch tv or anything. 
We have a formal living room with a crystal chandelier.
we watched tv in our own rooms
hubs says that's weird
I say leave me alone I'm trying to watch tv!
oh and the couch is the most uncomfy thing ever!


See that basket in the floor?
I fought for that baby 
#lillyfortarget anyone??
I finally found one in a facebook group!
and now it is holding trash
so there ya go

I also tried my hand at recovering my guided reading table chair last summer
it's still sitting here
and I lost the little knob to put the back back on!
oh well!
it is recovered
that's something!


here's the collection of canvases I've started
or pictured I've taken down
of old pictures with frames I'll be reusing
isn't that grasshopper cute!?
it's oldest Lamb's from 2nd grade
he turned 16 last week!
wah!
and a bunch of chevron I started for little Lamb's nursery
I painted everyone in the wrong direction!
and he's 6 now fyi!
but that's the beauty of paint! repaint!

I LOVE that star
it's actually a Christmas tree topper my mom's bestie gave us
love it
and that lamp was a target return that you can find on the aisle caps
so cheap!
always check those!

You'll also see a sewing table I found on the roadside in the hood
people around here get rid of a lot
hubs wishes I'd do the same and not bring their crap home!
the wood has come off a little on the front
but it is the perfect size for my printer
aka the rocketship
and the hideous plastic trash can fits underneath
and so does the laminator for now
I want to get some IKEA bookcases-
or the ones I bought for school-
and put in this room for all the tech
and other supplies that are really adding up!


So, do you wanna see some offices that will inspire?
and are probably 100x more organized and inspiring than mine!?


a special thanks to Schroeder Shenanigans and Lucky Little Learners for setting this up each month!
oh, and isn't it ironic that one of the rap lyric prints is from Office Space...ha!

confessions of a stationery addict


Sometimes I think my draw to education is stationery
I've always loved stationery
Sanrio's was my favorite place in the entire world as a child
and it probably still would be if it was what it used to be!
I spend the better part of my childhood picking out pencils, stamps, stamp pads, pencil holders, pencil boxes, clipboards, notepads, pens, pens with charms, you get the idea
while my mom spend the better part of her teacher paycheck in that place because of course, it all had to be personalized with their signature dotted letters!

That love of stationery never quite went away. Just grew up a bit.
I cannot pass up notepads and stickies that are cute in any way
I can spend hours in Target, Office Max, and Michael's perusing those aisles
So here's where the problem begins!
Look at all this stationary that has been delivered right to my door in the past two weeks!


I'm also a monthly member of Jones Design Co. paperworks.
I get the printed version because I'm too lazy way to busy to print it myself. At least for now!
What I love about Emily's paper are the colors, the cuteness, and all the options.
Each month includes a calendar, chore charts (wishful thinking), grocery lists, to do lists, scripture cards, a print, and even a surprise. There's tons to use and while I'll never use it all, it's ok because most of it can be used any ol' time! AND IT'S ON SALE TODAY!
Plus I kinda want to grow up to be her!

/this is the june paperworks collection/

Then there's Blair Turner's Very Busy Box.
May was my first delivery. Somehow I missed the boat on April's.
It's more than paper though. Not only did I get some cute BTP notepads, she and her hubby curate a little collection of office supply goodies just for you.
Now this is right up my alley!
My husband would call it crap, but I call it a little piece of heaven!



And now we come to Krista's Creative Paper Collections!
The new collection (my favorite so far) is the paint and confetti!
AND IT GOES ON SALE TODAY!
I love this color scheme! Her palette collections in the VIP clubs got me into these.
I like CC papers for school. Bright, happy colors keep my mood a tad better!
These notepads are the real deal. Super heavyweight paper. And the printing is impeccable!



/isn't my little rhino adorable??/

Another brand I'm digging is Heidi Swapp. I first saw her stuff at Michaels.
I'm in major need of her Minc foil machine...just fyi Heidi if you want to give one away!! I'm open!

/flea market pouch of goodies/hello beautiful metal circle clips/hello beautiful washi tape strips/

Do you know of any more paper companies I should be aware of??


five for friday (sunday edition)

Only 2 more fridays after this one folks!
Whew!
I might be a little excited.
But then I think about all the awards days planning (trying something a little different...)
plus all our festivities for the last 10 days, but we can do this!
So here's my week!




the butterfly unit is from Linda Kamp and the rest is from me. I haven't posted the quad stuff yet because we are still using and testing it!

and here's the winners from my growing bundles giveaways last week!
congrats y'all!





the deal with growing bundles (giveaway!)

Growing Bundles.
So this may be the new trend on TpT right now
when they first started popping up, it was a little iffy to me
most of the early growing bundles had a new upload each month, but you lost on the previous month
then they took off with a few sellers who began to bundle their already best selling resources like Lyndsey's Nonfiction packs, First Grade Blue Skies' Directed Drawings, and From the Pond's Write Cut Paste the Room packs.
Then came the growing clipart bundles...
now these got me!
I have to have every.single. one of Mel's scrappy monthly bundles, and then there's border bundles, too!

I had been considering ways to share my little on the spot worksheets that I make for my classroom and I knew this was it!
I started scouring my school computer and home computer looking for these lonely little files and wa-la! The Teacher's Toolbox was born!


Now, this is no mega huge monthly bundle.
There's no way I could hold myself to a full product each month.
Not with 3 kids, 2 baseball schedules, a new Etsy shop, blogging class, graphic design class, TpT, and oh yea...being a full time teacher!
Instead, this product is all the random goodness on my hard drive!
Here's a preview of everything so far.
It's about 3 "things" per upload.

There's math, reading, writing, a print or two that haven't made it to the Etsy Shop yet, organization, newsletters, etc. Really, all that stuff that's good stuff, but not worth the work to list for $1!

 



 

It's also good for me because I get into that dreaded "in progress" file and see things I have been working on for months, or in some cases...YEARS! I can pull from those if I do not think I really have a need for it any longer. It also brings into my brain what I already have! Sometimes, it's way too much!
I also have a graphing growing bundle because there was not a single product I found that addressed 2nd grade common core goals in this area. I made a winter themed one for my sub to use when I was out for a few days back in December being professionally developed, and I figured why not do one for each season!

 

I will admit, the pressure is real. I mean, I do not know how some of these girls do it! I get all worried when the next upload is due and I never want to slap something together just to meet a deadline. Trust me, there are many, many many deadlines I do not meet at my day job! eek
So the graphing bundle for summer is delayed a bit because we're working on reviewing shapes so we can move on to fractions. And I just got the May 15 toolbox posted on May 17...
but it's all good!

So...do you like randomness?!
If so, enter to win the graphing growing bundle OR the Teacher's Toolbox growing bundle, OR BOTH!
