Back to School Ideas

This week the kids in Illinios are going back to school and I can say there are a lot of moms rejoicing. I thought I would share a few back to school ideas that I have found all over the web and have bookmarked to try to make myself this year.

Desk Bag: What a neat idea!

I finally took the time today to read through my Google Reader which is filled with blogs I follow. As I am scrolling through, I did a double take when I saw Sandra from Sugar Cubes and Spice Cake post on back to school desk bags.

I don’t have any kids, but one look at the bag gave me an “ah ha” moment. Wouldn’t these make great take alongs to cropping events?  I know that I personally don’t seem to have enough space for all my table top items, roller carts, and other stuff. Couldn’t you just picture making one of these to slip over your chair to hold extra pens, a ruler (which I always lose), craft magazine, etc.

Here are some of the other bags that Sandra has created:

You can find the tutorial here to create a bag of your very own.

If you decide to make a bag, please post a comment on this post along with a link. We would love to see your completed masterpiece.

Happy Crafting!
