Project Time!

My favorite thing to do right now is read other websites and blogs on home organization and crafts. It's really funny because half of the time I can not possibly even begin to imagine how to start one of these projects that I read about because I do not have the time or resources. But I found one a few weeks ago on Tuesdays with Molly that I thought would be a perfect small project and would be really cute....

Before: I have been hanging alot of Kyle's artwork from school on the metal door leading into the garage with magnets and clips. To me this has always looked messy, but Kyle is so proud of the pictures he has colored and made I feel like I have to display them.



When I found this sign/project holder idea I definetely wanted to try it! Instead of using wood I used foam board for the base. I used scrapbooking paper that I already had and a ribbon that came on a birthday present that was so cute that I could not bear to part with it. I did buy the chip board letters and the clips at Michael's (total of about $8).

And here is the finished project....



I am really proud of the way it turned out! I hung it back on the metal door with those On Command hooks so I had no holes and then put up Kyle's most recent art work. I thought that it might be fun to change it out weekly as he makes new things.

What a great project!!! Isn't nice to tame a messy problem AND create something cute and memorable? You did a wonderful job - having little Rembrandt's is so fun but they create mountains of "masterpieces." This gives them a place to feel special...with limits for mom!
