Monday Made It


Monday Made It actually makes me get to work and finish some projects that go into the deep dark chaotic cave I refer as my craft room. (My boyfriends calls it my CRAP room and he describes as a Micheals that has gone through a very large earthquake.)
At the Goodwill, I found this awesome TossAcross game. Without hesitation, I put it in my cart. My mind starting thinking of all the possibilities I could do with this. I peeled off all the stickers and used my Circut to cut numbers out of vinyl.  I am going to use it to strengthen my kids addition skills at the beginning of the year and multiplication skills mid year. Total money spent on project was just over $5.
I have been thinking of back to school and I always take pictures of my students the first day of school.  They are always wearing their new shoes, newest outfit and usually a new haircut. I made these first and last day of school signs. The hardest part was trying to decide what frame to put it in. (By the way, look at these cuties!!!)

  1. Your back to school signs are so cute! I bet your kids love them. Neat idea on the Toss Across game. Getting kids to practice facts in an unique way is always a plus.

    Best of luck this school year!

  2. I forgot to ask...I'm trying to decide if I should purchase my own Circut. What are your thoughts on this? Is it worth it?

    1. Tracy-
      I have an older Circut and it works like a champ. BUT the newer Circut went through this big legal issue and the company/ machine has changed. You are no longer allowed to use any font/clipart on your computer. You are have to buy bundles of clip art and fonts and they are $$$! I would look into the Silhouette.
      Hope this helps!!

    2. I also have an older circut and while I like it, if I were just starting, I would get a Silhouette. I like their print and cut feature!

  7. I love the Goodwill find. That could totally be used for any operation too. Just toss two times and add, subtract, multiply, divide.
