In the last post I was talking about how 100 days of school will be arriving soon, and that got me thinking…. if you are almost at 100 days of school your pencils must be getting old and it is time for some new ones.

Today I’m going to show you how to make decorated pencils. The craft will be so much fun…. almost as much fun as these pencils will be to use. So, let’s get started.
Do you love to read? I love to read. My only issue is I seem to never have a bookmark when I need one. I don’t know what happens to my bookmarks, but they seem to disappear. I land up just using a paper napkin…. or sometimes I even just fold down the corner of the book. I hate doing that though… I like nice crisp pages in my books. At any rate, I am getting to a point here…. Today I’m going to show you how to make cute bookmarks for your books. So, grab the supplies needed and let’s get started.

How to cover your child’s book with book cover made from a decorated gift bag. I will detail how I turned a gift bag into a homemade school textbook cover in the tutorial / article below.
As my kids get older and older, there seems to be more and more books that we need to cover. I have become a pro at turning brown grocery store bags into neat little school book covers. I decided to turn my son’s Math book cover into a fun comic book cover. I covered the book cover with contact paper to protect the comics. I also put a word search on there, which can be done over and over again since the contact paper can be used as a wipe-able surface for washable markers.
With the new school year, also comes tons of school papers … homework, tests, crafts, artwork, notifications, and so much more … and all of these papers will pour into my house. I never know what to do with all the papers and the new paper clutter. I am afraid to throw things away for fear that either my children or me will need that paper soon. So I decided that I would create a school papers organizer. This school paperwork organization system is the craft that I will share with you today.
