These driftwood DIY projects are creative and fun while giving your home decor refreshing feel. My favorite has to be the driftwood chalkboard!
NOTE: Before I begin this post I want to say that my ding dong camera card went "sasldfkj" this afternoon so any before or even during pictures of the fridge chalking are temporarily *poof* gone! As soon as Conan works a little magic of his own though, I will put some more pictures of the process up here. Okay. Now you may proceed. Okay so, is the suspense killing you? A chalkboard fridge, you say? But how can that be? Well, let me show/tell you... First, you take a normal, very beige fridge (that we didn't buy-it came with the house) (that's where I would normally put this awesome, face-on picture of the fridge but...whadaya' gonna' do?) Then you follow this tutorial you found on Apartment Therapy (insert more awesome during pictures) Sand the fridge a little Buy some chalkboard paint (ON SALE for $8) Brush/roll it on (I did a little of both) Let it dry for three days, rub chalk all over it and wipe off And..... Ta-dow! Pretty neat, huh? We really like how it turned out! I especially like the way it looks with my thrift store dresser there. Look at that adorable cow! It's no surprise that one of us has a degree in art, now is it? It was such a cheap and easy project, I would highly recommend it! UPDATE: Two years later, here's how the chalkboard fridge DIY has held up! In other news, the kitchen ceiling now has one coat of paint! Hooray! Looks pretty awesome! Especially since my mom and dad came this past weekend and put that big, fat trim over the place where the old wallpaper was still peeking out at the top of the paneling. We're going to try to spray on our second coat since we did the first by hand and it was...ugh! Wish us luck!

I first saw this idea in the You Grow Girl book. You can check our her blog here. I have a confession though, this gift idea is really more like $10 and under (and only if you make more than one or reuse the paint for another project, but trust me-you will). source Chalkboard paint can be found at most craft stores and home improvement stores (like Home Depot or Lowe's). I loved these chalkboard flower pots the first time I saw them because I am constantly forgetting what I planted where in my own little pots. So I decided...

If the titles of my blog posts are any indication of how well I can focus on one specific task- that doesn't look very good. I never can focus on one thing in these blog posts- hence the extremely long and random combinations in my titles :) My kiddos were WIRED this week! They definitely have spring fever. My. goodness. It probably didn't help that it was Dr. Seuss day on Monday and we had a spirit week the rest of the days. Something about Wacky Wednesday doesn't exactly scream "concentration." :) Don't get me wrong- I love spirit week because I can wear jeans or comfy clothes. Plus the kiddos deserved some fun distractions. BUT. It was a complete battle between spirit/fun and testing/instruction all week. I finally had a "come to jesus" talk with the class on Friday. I actually think it helped. Last year, if I had a talk like that with my firsties, I wasn't always sure it got through, but with third graders this year, it was actually a mutual discussion. We'll see, that might just be my Saturday-induced optimism talking.... :) Speaking of spring fever, I just finished my newest "Spring Fling" and "Happy Snails" clipart sets and posted them to my store! I have used a lot of pastel colors in my spring sets, but I made a new color scheme for these sets (and some other spring sets I plan on making) because I needed some extra energizing sets after this week! Check out these little splashes of spring color.... If you want to check out these sets in my store, you can click on the links below. Happy Snails: $2.00 Spring Fling: $4.00 Onto the other part of my random blog title......If there was one word that would be tattooed across my forehead lately, it would be "EVIDENCE." If I had a dollar for every time I said that word ("Where's your evidence?" "Find evidence to support your claim" "Support your answers with evidence" "Find the evidence in the text" "Do you have evidence for that?" ETC), I could retire. Surprisingly, it doesn't bother my kiddos at all and they FEED off of showing evidence. For this reason, the most precious half piece of paper in my classroom is this little beauty: I made up my own version of a "Showing Evidence" reference sheet because I needed it to include a few more evidence stems than the ones I was finding on TpT or pinterest. In our reading lessons, we are focusing on the kiddos using text AND visual cues, so I wanted some stems specific to each. Also, we have discussed how to talk about poetry, so I wanted one in there with "stanza." My students have been using these little reference strips in pretty much every subject! They even started pulling them out in math and changing some of the wording around to work with their conclusions based on graphs, charts and word problems. God bless them and their evidence-eager hearts! One of my kids suggested that I laminate them for each student so they can "take it to fourth grade with them." I told him that I would make a special "Showing Evidence in Fourth Grade" strip....printed in COLOR....and laminated for everyone in the class if they found evidence to answer every reading comp question on the DCAS (state test). I hope I will be needing to buy lots of color ink soon! If you think your kiddos could use these same strips, you can snatch them up below from google docs. I just print them out and cut them down the middle. And, per my student's suggestion, you could laminate them so they last forever and ever :) {Snatch it HERE} Don't forget to turn your clocks ahead before bed tonight. Nothing like LOSING and hour of sleep- but at least it is more EVIDENCE that spring is on it's way......sorry I couldn't resist :)
