School is Cool Blog Hop - August 4 - 5, 2012

Greetings, crafting friends.

I'm pleased to be participating in this weekend's "School is Cool" Blog Hop by the Krazy Crafting Crew (KCC), a monthly blog hopping group of crazy papercrafting enthusiasts.  If you arrived from so-and-so's blog, you are in the right place. If  you're just stumbling onto the hop now, be sure to start at the beginning so you don't miss any of the great projects.

Now it's been a long time since I've been in school or have had a child in school, so bear with me. These days, I think it's only "cool" if you come equipped with an iPad, cell phones and graphing calculators.  Little do the kids of today know that I survived school without anything battery- or electric operated ... no calculator, no computer. >GASP!<

So today I will show you something I'd give to a child starting off in elementary school: a perfect little set for a bookbag:


Here are some additional deets on each of the doodads:

Cute stuff! I'm not sure if I like the pencil box or the drawer set more- it's all great, and CUTE! Fav subject... biology or art. Yeah. Science and art. Needless to say my right and left brains have always been in conflict. :)

My favorite grade in school was Kindergarten. That was back in the day when we had nap time, milk and crackers, and got to eat glue. Doesn't get better than that!!!

Thank you for an awesome blog hop!

What cute ideas to get the little ones excited about school. I am a new follower - looking forward to seeing new ideas My favorite grade was ninth grade because I absolutely loved my english teacher. She was great. But my favorite subject was math. It was like solving puzzles which I love to do. ydixon57@cox.net
