Sense of Accomplishment


Ok - so I am addicted to Pinterest just like every other female that has ever been on the sight.  I have so many pins of things to make, cook, create, etc.  I will say I have tried several yummy recipes and shared with others.  I have also found some great ideas for my classroom that worked great.  As far as the crafts and DIY projects I just haven't taken the time to do those yet.  
I saw and repinned the cute seats made from the plastic crates.  
While doing college shopping for my daughter I saw these colorful crates at Target for only $3 each.  I then went to a yard sale that our Children's Pastor was having (they are missionaries and selling everything) and I came across two IKEA end tables ($10) that would be perfect to go with my new seats.  My wonderful Dad bought the wood for me and then he cut and sanded my boards.  I found some fabric in my closet from a previous project, purchased a foam mattress topper at Dollar General ($12) and BOOM!  within 2 hours my seats are complete!  I love them and can't wait to use them in my Kindergarten Classroom.  So for a total of $34 I have 2 new tables and 4 seats.
