Hey there! I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs again for Five for Friday.

I did it!
I actually went to my classroom and stayed there this time--despite the mess that awaited me.
I'm pretty excited about the things I got accomplished. Here's a peek:
A - Smart Tags prepped--yes, I changed the name. It is a play on making "Smart" choices and it fits my classroom better than the more common name. I made some of them, but most are from Lucky Little Learners.
B - Prepped my "Dealing with Math Homework" instruction cards (Amanda Madden). You can see how I use them in my classroom here and find links to Amanda's post about them.
C - My son got in on the action with the bulletin board. He was actually finished already, but had to pose. Ha!
D - I got my Math Helpers printed and laminated. I love these things!

I made a back-to-school video for my kids! It tells them about making an "About Me Bag" and I shared mine so they could get to know me. Be kind--it is for them so who cares if I'm a bit of a dork! At least that is what I keep telling myself. :-)

I've been meaning to share my graphics and fonts binder for awhile now and never got around to uploading pictures. Then I decided this would be easier. Plus I haven't made you a video since last summer!

My first Stitch Fix was awesome! Too awesome! I asked for all tops in this fix (you can do that, request certain things).
My stylist definitely used my Pinterest style board and sent me things I had pinned.
I loved every piece and really wanted to keep them all!
I would have, too, except for this black beauty.
Dry clean only with a price tag of $78. I just couldn't do it. I knew I needed to send it back. But if I bought all five, I was going to get a $75 discount which would make it practically free.
So then I knew I had to send something else back or it just didn't make sense. So I chose to send back the cardigan. Then I realized that for $40 more, I could keep both so I had to send one more thing back or it just didn't make any sense to send anything back! So I chose to send back this striped top also.
That left me with my two absolute favorites that I just couldn't part with and it was more friendly on my wallet too. :-)
I have never even tried on polka dots before - LOVE this! |
I had pinned this one...knew I would like it. AWESOME! |
If you're like me...fashion challenged and hate shopping or if you just want a little push out of your comfort zone, you might want consider it.
**Disclaimer: If you use the links here and end up scheduling your first fix, I will receive a one-time $25 credit. I'd very much appreciate it, but of course, it is not necessary. If you don't want to give me credit, just type in their web address and go for it!**
Also, no need to worry that this is going to become a fashion blog because while I enjoyed using their style cards and trying on the outfits, I did not enjoy the pictures! Ha! I won't be doing that again!

So this happens this weekend--starts tomorrow! Stop back by to see what goodies we are giving away. :-)
Have a great day!
I'm sitting in a quiet motel room while the rest of my family sleeps, so I can't check out your videos - but I'm sure they're great. Glad your room is coming together and the fix looks nice! Sara
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sara! I hope you're enjoying some R & R and family time. :-)

Kuddos to you for making the videos, so brave! I'm doing good to get a Periscope done. Those at least disappear after so many hours! I love the idea of creating a clip art binder! Managing all the stuff I have can sometimes get overwhelming, so I may need to create a binder. Happy classroom decorating! :)

I think the Periscope makes me more nervous--no editing! I think you'd love the binder!

Love the video. Good idea. See you around. Kathleen Kidpeople Classroom
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathleen! :-)
DeleteEveryone is talking about this Stitch Fix thing all of sudden! I've gotta look into this! :)

I know! It is crazy! It took me a year to get up the courage to actually schedule a fix. Now I know I should have done it earlier!
