A Peek at my Week - A Lovely Linky Party & A 300 Follower Giveaway to Enter!

 

Hello there!  I found a new and fun Linky Party about plans for the upcoming week - how exciting is that!  Any way, this is the first week that Jennifer at http://mrslaffinslaughings.blogspot.com/2013/08/a-peek-at-my-week-new-linky-party.html
is having her link up so I hope you'll consider joining up, too.

1.  This is the last full week of summer vacation so I have to finish cleaning my house - I'm not talking about regular cleaning, I mean windows, closets, kitchen cabinets, under the beds, etc.  Of course, I'll never get it all done, but I'm hoping to get SOME of it accomplished.

2.  I'll be going into my classroom to finish setting it up.  I'm quite excited about the labels I made for my book bins in the library.  Check them out:

The square polka dot label I got free from TPT at:

Also, please notice the numbers on the labels with the letters.  I put my books in alphabetical order by title.  Each book in those bins will have a round sticker with a number on it; the number will tell what bin the book belongs in.  I got this idea from another blog, but I think it's a GENIUS idea and will help to keep my library much more organized.  I forget the name of the blogger, but if you know who it is, please let me know so I can give her credit for this brilliant idea.


The round labels I won, but you can get those at TPT, too:

3.  Next Saturday we're having a party for our friends and their families.  I'm planning on offering an assortment of salads and healthy fare.  I finally found Butterball turkey burgers which were highly recommended by the leader at my Weight Watchers meeting.

Overall, it's looking like a fun and busy week.  It should be a ball!  (sorry, I couldn't resist).





Here's a 300 follower giveaway to check out, too:
