I hate to even mention it, but – school is just around the corner. The stores already have whole sections dedicated to pencils, rulers and notebooks. TV commercials are advertising the latest fall fashions for students. As your child’s school supply list is heading your way soon, think about what you can create with them to personalize this year’s locker stash. By working on these projects together, the idea of ringing school bells in the not-so-far-away future isn’t (quite) so bad.
