Shop 'Til You Drop

Kristen, over at Ladybug's Teaching Files, is hosting a Summer Shopping Linky Party... which is all up my alley.  :) I did all of my back-to-school shopping the weekend after school let out and promised myself I wouldn't buy anything else over the summer.  So far, so good!  Good thing is - I totally forgot about all the goodies I bought!  Unpacking the bag for this post was like Christmas morning, y'all!  

 I laid it all out on the table and just stood there giggling.  He he he he he!  :D  Woohoo!  School supplies!

I L.O.V.E. color.  Therefore, it was physically impossible to turn down pink pens, pink expo markers, and a pink iPod cable.  Notepads and post-its are a weakness of mine.  Apples and an octopus?  Come on!

I decided to break down and buy some items I've always wanted but didn't want to spend money on.  I love the cute magnetic whiteboard erasers (to match my jungle theme).  I've always wanted a bell for recess, a "completed with teacher's help" stamp (and of course I got some pink ink!), and one of those line master marker holders for the board.

The basics and some cute finds!  Gotta have name plates and birthday crowns.  Got a handful of finger grips... those disappear like crazy.  The maraca was an impulse buy at the register.. but I love it!  :)  Those pointers are extendable!  Love!

Student grouping pencils I found at Lakeshore Learning Store!  Sort by color, shape, or number!  Score!

Welcome back goodies - bookmarks, silly bands, and banana scented monkey stickers.  :)

...I saved the best for last... neon chart paper and notebook paper!  Ah!  Swoon!

Head over to Kristen's to link up, window shop... or just live vicariously through others' purchases.  ;)
