Teacher Toolbox Organizer

Ahhh... getting back into the swing of things!  It certainly has been a while since I've posted... In the past year, my husband and I welcomed our daughter, Madison, into the world.  She is now a year old and such a joy!  I've been working on decorations for her birthday party, and will post a blog on that after this weekend.

I definitely had my ups and downs this past school year with starting the year off on a maternity leave... and then trying to balance work and baby.  I think the major bumps are over now; Madison is on a great schedule... and I think I have part of my baby brain back!  I just finished my first project for my classroom this year, and it's actually something for me, not my students or anything for my classroom management.  I even had the time to make one for a friend, too!  I got the organizer from Lowe's (about $16) and the labels I bought from Teacherspayteachers.com (http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Teacher-Toolbox-CHEVRON-EDITABLE-organizing-labels-tools-796754).  Just some cutting and double sided sticky tape, and it was all done!  I even made a second copy of the labels so I could put on the backs of the drawers, just in case I end up putting the organizer on my desk and others can see the back of it.

Here are pictures of the befores and afters...

So easy to do....and I like it so much better than some of the drawer organizers I have for my desk!
