Happy Monday! I can't believe I only have two weeks left until school starts! Yikes...
This week I decided to transform my clipboard. Here's the before. B.o.r.i.n.g!

Can you believe I've been carrying this thing around for the past few years?
And now...

I just love duct tape! :)
I also made a behavior clip chart a couple of weeks ago. However, I've since read THIS POST by Kristin at The Teeny Tiny Teacher. So now I think I'm going to ditch my clip chart and go for the yellow tags! I wanted to share it any way since I'm a little sad I won't be using it. I figure I'll save it for when the students start acting like they don't know what in the world school is all about if we need a change.

Lastly, I got an early birthday present!

YAY! I have been able to get so much done! Only two people at my school are allowed to use the laminator, so needless to say, I haven't been able to laminate anything this summer!
My mom and I had so much fun laminating and cutting out all my stuff. Of course, my husband thought we were crazy. ;)

I keep insisting to my family that I NEED a laminating machine but they just don't understand the importance.
Your clipboard is cute! I love the black, white, and turquoise combination.
I love your laminator. I feel like I would laminate waaaaaay more stuff than I needed to if I had one, haha!
Marvelous Multiagers!
Girl I LOOOOOVE my laminator! It's ridiculous how fantastic they are. I actually had a teacher friend come over for a pinterest day and we were laminating up a storm. Boys just don't understand it. :)

Your laminator is a great investment into protecting all the cute things you find/create! I know you're going to absolutely become obsessed with easy laminating on a whim. I LOVE your cute clipboard, I still need to decoupage my BORING one before the school year starts too!

Your laminator is so cute! I hate laminating! Is that a teaching crime?? It seems like whenever I go to the school one it is ALWAYS busy. I'm wondering if I had my own if I would feel differently. Who knows! I just got a new printer, so it is going to have to wait until next summer for that purchase. Happy Laminating!

Love the clipboard!! I just bought myself a personal laminator & couldn't be happier!! It is saving me a lot of waiting at school. :)

Oh, I need to decorate my clipboard! :)
I want a personal laminating machine so bad! How much did it cost/where did you get it? How often do you have to change the cartridge and how much are those? Sorry about all of the questions; I'm just so interested!

Thanks for responding so quickly (and thanks for following too!) :)
What is the largest size that it will laminate? Will it do an 8.5x11 piece of paper?
I'm excited about this! :)

Love the clipboards. I have been using a lot of jungle duct tape this summer!! Doing a jungle theme, too. I would hate to add up how much money I have spent over the years on laminating pouches. OUCH!!
