School Paper Storage and Organization

My kids are now out of school!

So every available surface in my house is a mess with papers 

and school books everywhere!!  

So today, I'm sharing how I store and organize school papers.

Last Minute Teacher gift ideas

Tomorrow is my kids' last day of school.

Of course the last day totally snuck up on me.  

So I whipped up a super quick gift for my kids' teachers,

and found a few more around the internet to give some last minute gift ideas.

Easy Sew Pillow Cover

Today I'm sharing the most simple, slacker way to make pillow covers.  

Truly, I can't really sew all that well, and I can't follow a pattern.  

So I just made this up as I went along.  

How I shop at the Thrift Store

Thrift stores are pretty popular right now. 

It's the trendy thing to shop second hand.  Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and all that. 

But do you walk into the thrift store and turn right around because you're grossed out?  

I understand!

But before you give up, let me show you how I shop thrift stores.

New use for an old lamp

Do you have things stashed in a closet, or in your garage and attic,
taking up space and collecting dust?
Then one day, inspiration strikes!!
You're able to use/reuse one of those items and give it a new life?  

This post is about just that sort of thing happening!

Back then, we got our ideas from books, magazines and seeing our 

friends and neighbors get married.  

Oh how I wish I had the opportunity to use some of these wonderful ideas.
