Monday Made It: EOY Gifts, TPT Planner, & a giveaway!

Today I'm linking up with Fourth Grade Frolics for Monday Made It to share two things I made over the last few weeks - one crafty project and one digital project.

I made these cute end of the year gifts for my team (and myself) this year. It took a lot of sneaking around to get all of my teammates' students' fingerprints without them knowing, but fortunately, we have an awesome math enrichment teacher who let me barge in on her class a couple of times. Sadly, I forgot to take a picture before I gave them to my teammates, so all you get to see is mine.
The idea is to have all of our students every year add their fingerprints to the tree. Over the years, the tree will grow bigger and bigger!

Here's a little trick for you to make the bows on top...
1. Cut a piece of ribbon longer than you think you need.
2. Fold the ribbon into a loop like this:
3. Tie a regular old knot in the center of the loop.
4. Fluff out your bow! (This works WAY better with wired ribbon than it does with regular ribbon.)

The other little project I've been working on is a planner to keep all of my TPT /Blog ideas and info organized. A lot of work has gone into this planner to make it exactly what I needed and wanted, and I am super proud of how it turned out! I'm calling it my TPT Business Planner, because I believe that in order to be successful with TPT, you really do need to treat it like a business.

Here's a peek at what you can find inside:









...and even more!
