(In no particular order)
1. Glee- I really wanted to watch it last year, but never could find the time to get into it. Now I guess you can call me a gleek.
2. Getting my classroom organized. This is better some days than others. I have a pretty good group of kids this year.
and 3. Looking for a new sofa table. I finally found one (for $8- yes $8! I will have to dedicate a post to it soon- the story is awesome).

I do have a summer craft project to share though:
Well, I have wanted a new table for my classroom library area for-eva! I have just been tooooo cheap. Well, after scouring Craigslist, Goodwill, and the Salvation Army for months, I hit the motherload.
I found this beaut for only $3.50 (it was half-off day at Goodwill). It had great bone structure (and a laminate! top)
Oh, when I said beaut, I meant dusty, dinged up, and hot mess! Took off the front hardware and gave it a coat of ORB
I rolled on a few coats of oil-based primer- it was starting to look good =) I also let it dry for a few days before putting on the paint. That is usually my downfall- not waiting long enough before I paint.
Here was my end result:
Another look:
Here is the inside paper (scrapbook paper that I decoupaged on):
The best part- it only cost $3.50! I had everything else =) Gotta love it! My kids have loved my reading area this year, and this table helps me store my center materials for my library area.
