Library Tote

We are constantly paying library fines around here. The good thing is that we go to the library often, check out lots of books, and read them all over the house. The bad thing is the around the house part--we can never find them all when it's time to head back to the library. The solution is


a dedicated library tote that permanently resides on Boo's bedroom doorknob. We can be off to the library with all books ready at a moments notice and the kids can carry their own books! You will need a paper cutting system. I have a relatively inexpensive Slice machine because I craft, yes, but I do not scrapbook. (Confession: scrapbookers scare me. But that's a whole other story). You simply cut letters out of freezer paper and iron them shiny side down in place. Fabric paint and then peel the stencil off! We added an iron-on owl embellishment. Boo loved this craft and it's so useful too!
