fabulous finds

I am linking up with Fun in 4B for her fabulous finds links party!

I have finally caught the new school year bug from my teaching partner and pal!

Today I hit up Joann Fabrics.....I worked my coupons and saved $75.00!  I had Caroline with me and she was such the helpful shopper....look mom OWLS!  I am trying to not have too much owls in my classroom but the other day at IKEA I couldn't pass up this....

It was just $9.99!

So Back to Joann Fabrics....the baskets and scrap pads were 40% off, I used a 40% off coupon for the ribbon which i plan to tie on the ends of the baskets for each table group, and then I got 20% more off for the teacher discount!  Using the scrap pad to make my teacher tool box super fancy.....you know what I am talking about.....and if not I will post that later!

The other ribbons will be tied on different buckets etc around the room....for a pop of color!

Next up....can you tell that I am all ready to make crate seats?  I just love this flannel fabric with owls on it!  Great excuse to buy that staple gun I have been wanting for my classroom too!  Woohoo!

Finally.....these last two fabrics.....the cute seer sucker polkadot will be the background for the student work board in my room...got it for 50% off with my coupon....giddy up!  The chocolate brown will be the background for a couple other boards.  I am going to start my backgrounds tomorrow and drop off all my new goodies I found this week.  Hoping the carpets and floors have been cleaned so I can play around with my layout...

Make sure you link up too!
