Must Have Monday...a day late ;)

First, plese follow me on bloglovin'...I would love to get some followers and am thining about a giveaway....the button is on the side bar...

Ok, so here is another one of my favorite linkys...Must Have Monday by Teaching With a Touch of Twang.  I have been stalking Sabra's blog for about a year and have borrowed many ideas from her. :)

Sabra's must have this week was her new laminator...I LOVE my laminator!!  Could never go back to life before it. 

My must have this week is modge podge.  I have just jumped on the modge podge band wagon and made several projects with it.  Below are just a couple....

I made these cute clip boards with modge podge, scrapbook paper, and acrylic sealer....


And I put the labels on these plastic folders with modge podge...

 
I have read many horror stories about the podge on different blogs.  I must say I only had one wrinkle/air pocket on one of the folders and everything else was smooth sailing.  I think the key to mastering the art of podge is less is more.  It doesn't take a thick layer to get stuff to stick and stay.  Also make sure you wait until it has dried before putting the top layer.
 
I must say, I have never been a crafter and do not consider myself the least bit crafty.  I will also say that I reall enjoyed these two projects.  The boys were at summer school and I found it to be peaceful and enjoyable. :) (The projects and if I am honest, maybe the fact that the boys were at summer school ;) )
 
Anyway, go link up with Sabra
