New school year, new sign for room 39. The old sign was getting sad. The docents asked for new, please? And I said ok. There is something about making pixels out of construction paper that I discovered to be soothing. When there are a million other things to do, how else would you sit down and tell yourself it's ok to cut and paste 48 little squares for fun? 

back-to-school ikea hack

Technically not a hack, but more like a repurposing. Or just putting non-kitchen stuff in the box I found in the kitchen department. Yes, it's that time of year again and after last year's last-minute scramble, I vowed to be early this year. Hence, it's the first day of August and the back-to-school list is complete. Victory! After much dissatisfaction with the cheapie mainstream pencil boxes available (nothing fits! ugly and limited colors!), I discovered Ikea KRUS can become an excellent pencil box for school.
