I ALWAYS need a soda while I watch a movie, while waiting in line I saw it..the straw dispenser. I have been searching for a cheap one on ebay, craigslist, anywhere on the web, but I had no luck. Those things are freakin expensive! I was feeling gutsy so I asked for the general manager after I ordered my soda. I explained to the manager that I was a second grade teacher and have been looking for a straw dispenser to use for our pencils. I asked if she had a used one that she was willing to donate.

I made a cute label for it on sticker paper. Isn't it purrrttty..... I'm linking up a day early to "Monday Made It" over at fourth grade frolics. I'll officially link up tomorrow when the link is ready, hehehe. I was just too excited, I could not wait until tomorrow to share.
