I "Moustache You a Question"

Wow!! It's been a while--but I've been plenty busy. It's hard to believe we have only been in school for one month. And what a month it has been!!! I didn't really want to follow our school wide theme outside my classroom this year, so I just did something fun. And it was a HIT! Moustaches are a pretty big deal right now. So--when I was at The Wood Connection, I bought a wooden moustache, which I then used  to take pictures of my kids with. They LOVED this. I had them write an I AM poem to go with their picture. I made a super cute sign to hang above it that said ... "I Moustache you a Question...Who Are You?" Then, at the end of the day with their papers to go home to their parents, I had cut out a moustache which I slid onto a striped green paper straw---again--they loved it. Who knew all it would take was a straw and some black paper cut into the shape of a moustache. Here are my pictures--it's in the hallway= terrible lighting= awful pictures--but you can get the idea.

Jewelry Holder from a frame

When I was at The Wood Connection, they had take one of their fun frames and made it into a jewelry holder. I thought it was so cute. For Relief Society this past week, we made several things to donate to the Christmas Council and this was one of them. My mom made the frames, we put wire in them, then rounded up a bunch of miscellaneous knobs, which we spray painted. I think it turned out pretty cute. You could hand earrings on the wire and necklaces off the knobs.

To kind of make everything work together we had my mom make some pillows to go on the bed. I got a few ideas from the internet and also just from looking around at other pillows in the store. The flower one is the one found off the internet, I am not sure which site. My mom just made one big ruffle and then kept turning it until it made a flower. The one with the ribbon I saw in Target and really like it. The pillows match the entire room and make it look really cute. On one of the walls we added this and I love how it turned out, now if I can keep her from playing with it and knocking it of the ceiling. Next up it the other wall and the super cool closet organizer.
