Well because of my good fortune I thought I'd show you what I found on my trip to "town" and offer a "door prize" to someone that visits the Klinger Cafe' and leaves a comment and becomes a follower (unles you already are then you just need to comment).
I have to admit I don't go to "town" a lot (even the school I teach at is just a half mile from my house), and I am not a typical teacher that searches for bargains, or LOVES to shop. (ok I love shoes but not to shop). I am usually too late or too early to get a bargain, and I never go back when I say I will so I miss out on most of the good stuff....that and the fact that we only have Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby, Staples, and a million Dollar stores in our town. So when I go shopping it is usually with a purpose.
Today I did not have a purpose other than killing time until it was time to eat lunch with my hubby. I decided Hobby Lobby would be the best place to kill an hour. Can you believe they are already FULL of Christmas items...but back to my find. On the clearance isle they had some odds and ends of summer items (really? it's going to be 107 today!) and I found these cute little water bottles. We start school in four weeks and in Oklahoma it is still going to be 107+ degrees, so it is important to keep those hot little bodies hydrated. These will be great to place on their desks (or those shelves my hubby promised to build me) and refill as needed. AND they were... .50 cents each! yep only .50 cents. I bought 20. The other items I found were those cute little "silly bands"
I still had 30 minutes to waste so I decided to go next door...you guessed it the Dollar store. In there I found these awesome file folders in packages of 3 for a dollar, and clip magnets for my white board 50 cents each. I bought 6 of each!

They will be great for me to keep conferring and anecdotal notes in.

There are 18 files in there right now, and my notebook with tons of room to spare. What could you use yours for?
Just leave a comment, and your blog name or address-become a follower of Klinger Cafe' and you can pick the color, and lettering you'd like to have placed on yours. You can see the different styles and a catalog by clicking on My Thirty-One link.
This is what I have written on mine! Not only does it match my new folders, it matches my polka-dot rocking chair in my classroom. I'll show it to you next week, and how I use the large organizing bag beside it.
Thanks for stopping by and happy commenting, following, and blogging!
Good Luck!

Files are very nice decor. I also love to make decorations that I have a file folder. This is very useful to facilitate the search for the folder where files would I use. In addition, it also can enhance the file view my folder.
