and…
My amazon order came today!
This is $15 worth of printer ink…aka liquid gold!
Go to amazon and just type in the name of your printer (and the number) in the search box. For example mine is a brotherLc61. Then scroll down till you find a deal! You may buy more than you really need but trust me you’ll go through it eventually!
I also got 100 laminating sheets too. ($10) I am ready to print and laminate my way through my downloads file baby! Then I promised hubs I would clean the file out. That downloads file is about to take over my computer. It’s massive. We have a central server for our house so I can get stuff off my PC and safe from the spinning wheel of death.
Have you heard of this?!?!? Simply Spray is NON-TOXIC (whip it out for school projects!!!) and there are TONS of colors and different types of these non toxic spray paints! Click the picture of the can below to see for yourself! Talk about EASY!
I made a new classroom microphone today! (mine went missing a couple weeks before school got out and I decided it was the perfect time to upgrade)
I started with shaving off the bottom of the Styro ball and attaching it to the cone. Hot glue sort of works but you have to almost have warm glue rather than hot so that it doesn’t melt the foam. Put enough on there and you are good to go!
getting my spray technique just right, but in no time I had this!!
Don’t forget to link up your shopping post with Kristen!

Thanks for the info on he printer ink. I just spent $50 on two color ink cartridges. It is so expensive. Your microphone is too cute! Great ideas here.

Your spinning wheel of death picture cracks me up. Thanks so much for the ink tip, I hope you don't mind if I pin it. I am going to seriously have to stock up on ink because of all of my TPT purchases.

Okay Reagan…fill me in on those ink cartridges:) Are they remanufactured or compatible or both? Do they really work as well as the brand name? If so…I am off to purchase tons! I usually buy my stuff at Staples, but I pay a pretty penny. I am open to saving some pennies if this is not too good to be true:) LOVE the microphones by the way!! Too cute!
Annie!
They are compatible. But I have never had any problem with them. You can get so much more for such a low price.
DO IT!
oh and the quality is absolutely the same for me!
Thanks Reagan!! I have been a ink fool all these years, but I am glad to have discovered Amazon!! Yay!! Thank you my sweet friend!!
Thanks so much for the tip on ink!
Those microphones are awesome. You're so creative 🙂

I'm definitely going to have to check out Amazon for ink. I'm going broke buying it at Office Depot.
Wow, that Simply Spray looks terrific. I'm going to check it out.
I was at Walmart the other day and I saw ping pong balls 6 for $1.00 in all of these bright colors. I almost bought some, but I couldn't think of anything to use them , but I'm just sure there must be something! haha

Hello my dear Reagan, thanks so much for linking up!! You are like a shopping genius–I can't believe you found all of that ink so cheap! I know what I am doing this morning, headin' right over to Amazon! I loved reading about your purchases and your microphone craft. Thanks again 🙂 🙂
Amazon is like my crack – I LOVE getting packages from there! Sometimes I forget what I order and it's like Christmas morning when I open the box!
That ink is amazingly cheap. I think I'll have to check it out. I pay $40 for ONE cartridge!!

We are so green with envy right now over your ink! We have a love/hate relationship with our printer = love the color but HATE paying for ink! It's ridiculous! Thank you so much for the Amazon tip!!!

Those mikes are just too cute, and I am definitely going to have to check out your ink tip!
I just found out the little tidbit about buying ink on Amazon! After going through so much ink, and spending way too much money at Office Depot for printing, I am so excited!!
I love, love, love this idea. So freakin' cute! I can not wait to make it.
Thank you so much.
Thanks for all the great info on this post! I am a new follower! I was wondering if you have a post about your laminator. I've heard great things about them but have never really heard details… .I'm assuming you like yours since you just bought 100 refills – hehe! Can you offer any more details on it if you don't already have a post?
Thanks so much!
