Filling Time

1. It is summer and the kids are home....all day.

2. I am under two weeks from my trip to ISTE.

3. I have taken on a new part time job for next year as a Library/Media teacher at my kids school.

These are the reasons that I am....

1. not blogging as often as one would think for someone with their summer "off"

2. needing something to fill up time (I am not good with just sitting)

#2 resulted in my re-establishing myself with Pinterest and the following project....

Milk Crate Seats!

Thanks to by father-in-law for having scrap plywood around and the ability to cut said plywood....I was able to skip a difficult step. I happened to have foam laying around the house from another project and some material. I picked up the milk crates at our local thrift shop for 50 cents each!

All the materials ready to put together I was ready to assemble.....

Excuse the blur, my youngest was helping with photography :)

Using a borrowed staple gun, I used a "wrap a present" method and stapled where there would be tape if it were a present. I have to say that I enjoyed the ability to create this *on my own. 

*Except for having the plywood prepared by FIL

and having the staples put into stapler by husband.

Silly thing would just not take them from me :)

With having and finding materials this only cost me $1.50 to create! They will now find their new home in the school's library!

Here is the finished project:

Again excuse the photography of the five year old :)

**And thanks to my friend Teresa for planting the seed of this project in my mind
