Cute Kids Editable Bundle

Summer time is for relaxing, but for teachers it is also for getting ready for the next school year. I love to make editable files that can be tailor made to each individual teacher. I made this last year and used several of these for my homework folder cover, labels for progress reports and labels for notebooks. I was finally able to sit down and expand this file to include binder covers, spines, chalkboards and plain white background labels.I present to you Cute Kid Editable Labels, Binder Covers and Spines

These are the ones I used in my classroom to start.

I added my name and the school year under the kids. In the editable file you can do the same.

There is also a boy version of this label. I place these on the folders we send home once a month with the student progress report.

I made over 30 different editable pages to help you get organized for your school year with some Cute kids!! Graphics by Melonheadz illustrating

Summer began for me on Friday ( I had to work thursday, without students to pack up.) There is something a little strange about being at school without a bazillion kids. 
My own children had to come with me.

Life a of a staff kid! I finished cleaning and purging cabinets by lunch. They were so good, and didn't even complain about being in their second home.

Friday I spent cleaning out--and I mean cleaning out my closet, big time purge! I've been in my home 11 years. I've donated clothes and shoes over the years, but never really did such a big clean out before.

This was only the beginning of the pile of clothes that were donated to Hospice.

If you follow me on instagram, which I am on quite a bit, then you saw my mission accomplished.  Look at all those hangers! I got rid of a lot of shirts. I even color coded my tanks. I live in Florida, Tanks are an essential part of my weekend wardrobe.

I got this 8 square shelf from Target yesterday. My husband put it together for me. I do not have a before shoe, because, well that is just too scary. I'm storing purses, books, pajamas, 31 bags etc...
It's so nice,neat and tidy now. Now just to keep it that way!!

Now to get ready for the next project of summer. Painting my daughter's room. (more pics when finished, but this may take a while)


We are thinking about doing an ombre wall, wish me luck!!
