15 Back to School Ideas

Confession time…. I am NOT ready for school to start.   In fact I may be dreading it starting more than my boys.  It’s not necessarily school it’s just that I don’t want summer to be over.  It’s been a challenging summer for us and I don’t feel like I’ve had a summer yet.   I would LOVE a month more but alas, September is approaching FAST!  I need to get myself in gear and I need to do it fast.  Last week on the Bewitchin’ Project Party we had a lot of fabulous Back to School ideas shared so I decided to do round up of their great projects, with a few of my own thrown in.  Even if you’ve started school their might be some ideas here that you could adapt or fine tune.

Here is a post that focuses on Back to School Organization.  It’s so important to have school supplies on hand and not have to scrounge through the house looking for things you need.
