So many projects...

So yesterday I discovered the benefits of PowerPoint. I have been trying to make labels in Word for the longest time now, and have now come to find out that it is MUCH easier to use PowerPoint for projects like that!

Yesterday, inspired by this adorable painting, I created this sign using PowerPoint. Yes, I realize it is not as original as hand-painting it, but I really like how it turned out! And my, my it was SO much easier and cheaper than painting it onto a canvas. I'm planning on just buying a dollar store frame to put it in.

For my next project, I bought a white board and some knick-knacks to make a cute bathroom check-out board that I also found here. 

I also found some really cute graphics at Shabby Blogs Freebies and decided to tweak them a little to make my labels for the sign. I hope they turn out cute once it is all put together!

Lastly, I have been working on that nightmare of a classroom library. After many hours of sorting and labeling and sticky-ing and MORE... this is what I have: 

NOT so fabulous. It is definitely a work in progress and hopefully will come together sometime in the near future. Until then... I will probably have an unusable TV room. Hope no one comes to visit, haha. 

The next projects on my list are the Noise-o-meter and possibly a variation of this sign in PowerPoint (since I'm not quite talented enough to paint something that looks that good!). Wish me luck!
