Bulletin Board Project

One of the things I had been dreading with the new school year, was the backpacks, jackets, & coats piled up on my closet doorknob & dining room table chairs. I also dreaded having all of those newsletters and calenders all over my fridge overlapping one another. This year I would have three backpacks crowded on the doorknob:

And 3 sets of notes and calenders.....

I decided I wanted a bulletin board big enough for all of the newsletters plus the monthly school & lunch calendar. I also wanted a way to hang the kids backpacks and jackets/coats so they were all together. (and off my chairs!) So, Jeff got to work making the frame: 

Zach helped out Jeff with this part. This is how he dressed to help Jeff:

Apparently Lily thought this was how she needed to dress to help out:

Here is the frame, finished & stained. Notice the pegs on the bottom. =) 

After he attached the cork board, he hung it up on the wall for me.

I added the calendars & newsletters & the kids hung up their backpacks when they got home today!

I even made little name tags for their spots, so there are no fights on who's stuff goes where. :0)

So now we have a nice organized place where we can find everything! Thanks Jeff!!
