Yard sale treasure!

Several years ago I this tool box at a yard sale for $2!!( <-----sometimes I am amazed about how I can remember details of insignificant events!!)  I brought it home and over the years have used it to organize scrapbook supplies, and other crafty hobby supplies.  For the last several years it has sat in storage. And several times I have tried to give it away!!  Today I cleaned it out and I wanted to paint it...but something about the heat index being in the low 100's I am putting that off until a better day. Even so look!!  Is this not an excellent storage for our school supplies?!  The lid lifts and in there I am storing answer keys.

If you missed out on taking this out of my ways--sorry! But knowing how I am one day as our homeschooling room and needs evolve I am sure it will be up for grabs again.  And I hope by then I have it nicely painted!

  2. Oh wow! That is so very perfect Antonia! Well done. There will be nicer days this fall to paint.
    Enjoy your a/c! I've finally got my school records done for last year. This cancer has knocked my routines for a loop. I've got to get to planning for next year! School will have to start soon. I'm tempted to wait, but I don't want the kids to have to do school through the summer next year. I have one who didn't finish her Algebra and Biology, so she's been working through this summer. It's been miserable for both of us!

    Be blessed!

  3. Oh, one more thing—or two!

    I'm adding you to my blog list.

    Do you know that your comments come through to my email as a "no reply blogger"? If you'd like to get direct responses to your comments on blogs more often, you might like to know how to change that. I wrote about it in this blog post.

    If you're like me, you don't have time to go back and check on other blogs to see if you've gotten a response to your comment. I sometimes can take time to track down commentors, but I'm usually short on time.

    Be blessed Antonia!
