Monday Made It and Bloglovin!

     Monday Made It and Bloglovin!

     Hey friends! This is going to be short and sweet because today I was in a professional development workshop all day working on curriculum development for first grade math!  My head is spinning a bit!

   I did, however, want to share something for Fourth Grade Frolics: Monday Made It!  I have never linked up before and thought it looked like fun.  

     This weekend I just happened to stop into a local thrift store, I am always looking for a project for my classroom, and I found a file cabinet!  It was painted green and looked sort of retro! It originally cost $5.15 and all furniture was half off!  How could I pass this up?!  Here is what I did:

• Gave it a quick sanding, just enough to rough it up slightly.
• Spray painted two coats. 
• Took the drawers completely out.  
• Took the handles off.
• Used spray adhesive to adhere the fabric to the drawers and around the edges of the drawers.
• I then put the handles back on!  
• I used an outdoor fabric and cut pieces of the chevron out and put them around the top and sides as a border.  I used the spray adhesive for this, too!

Here are some before and after pics.  

     Also, I wanted to say a special thank you for EVERYONE who posted about Google Reader and Bloglovin.  I have to tell you I had no idea that I was even using Google Reader! I have officially signed up for Bloglovin.  I was SO excited that I was on my way to 200 followers!  OH, well.  

     I have the  option to now follow me on Bloglovin over on the side of my blog.  Please make sure to click on the link to follow me through Bloglovin!  I was a little bummed to hear that my follower numbers will change!  I was SO excited that I was on my way to 200 followers!  OH, well.
