Colored pencil redo ;)

So this happens to be one of the post that I forgot.. to ... well....POST!!!  :) 

I made this back in April and wanted to share!!! 

so as you know I LOVE  Pinterest  and LOVE LOVE LOVED the idea of organizing colored pencils and markers into cups on a super cute wine rack..
Well I would love to do that ... BUT((you knew the but was coming right??!!))  
 I told myself I would spend NO MORE money in my classroom .. as I am on a SUPER budget ((everyone else is too right??)) and have spent MORE than I even want to know on my classroom in the last three years!!! 

Then it came to me!!!
 ((I am constantly saving containers with high hopes to use them for something crafty ...)) I already had them I just had to be resourceful... my own little containers, perfect size perfect shape?!?!?!

***my apologies for the terrible pictures today!! 

Can you guess what containers they were originally???



Top view!!! ((not all the way finished but I was so excited to share!! ))

It took a little creativity considering I was out of sticks for my hot glue gun :( but I secured each container together (creating almost like a grid) using only rubber bands!! Yes, that's right you can pick the contraption up by only one container and the whole thing will stay together!!!

Pinterest, recipe and other ramblings :)

WOWZERS!!!!    It's been WAY to long!!!
No worries though I apparently have several blogs saved up for you that I typed but didn't publish??!!!
Silly, I know, but I blame it on..... the.... well actually ... we'll just call it LIFE :)

So who loves pinterest??  I DO I DO!!!  Ok so I am a PINTEREST ADDICT!!!!  not just a recent one a big huge pinterest addict...

ya want some weird history??? ---so last year .. about this time I kept stumbling across this website Pinterest every time I found images of crafty teacher stuff I liked .. so I decided to check it out and WHOA was I instantly drawn in
A couple days into looking on  it I realized it seemed slightly deja-vu-ish (is that a word??) yeah that's right apparently I had had used it temporarily the summer after  college??!! weird I know

ANYWAYS!!!

I knew it had potential to take over my life so I instantly told myself I could only use it on Sundays during the "school" week hahaha ;)

So in that time I have managed to pin like a ba-zillion pins and like even more than a ba-zillion pins, all while continuing to read stalk the many blogs I enjoy... 
 Therefore I am not all to sure how I stumbled upon this recipe from  Cookies and Cups and her 2 ingredient fudge .. yes you read that CORRECTLY!!! 2 ingredients!!  

Then I happened to stumble upon Pillsbury's Pink LEMONADE frosting on a wal-mart shelf!!!
so next adventure Pink Lemonade Fudge!!!!

OK so the original recipe called for white chocolate chips and it just so happened I did not have those at the house but did have white almond bark... so this is my version I created :) .. and because I never do anything in the most simple form I added some random ingredients....

12oz white almond bark      

 this is what I had on hand    --------->>

1 can pink lemonade frosting 

squirt or so of lemon juice

packet of single serve raspberry lemonade

 (the kind you put in a water bottle) this is what I had on hand

1. melt chocolate-did mine on low on the stove stirring occasionally
2.  add frosting
3.  stir till chocolate and frosting is mixed completely

you could stop right here and pour it into your pan to cool and voila deliciousness is done..

BUT this is where I just felt like making it super lemonade-e !!

I added a squirt or so of lemon juice and a single packet of the raspberry lemonade
stirred until all mixed and now voila!!! I poured it into my pan and set it out to cool :)

Hope you enjoy!!

First things first :)

Well for years now I have followed blogs.. all sorts of blogs teaching blogs, family blogs, crafty blogs, baking blogs etc etc... I check in on them, read them and am always in love with the things other people are doing ... 


I finally decided I would start my own as a way to share the things/blogs/ideas I love ,  show off the things I create for my classroom in hopes to inspire others , and well it just sounded like something I wanted to do :) 

Hope you enjoy :)
