Back to School in the Hood!

The Mommy Mess Join the "Back to School Bash" with me!  Back to school in our 'hood usually means lots of kids ringing the doorbell at 3:05pm, just after the bus drops off the neighborhood kiddos and they're anxious to blow off some steam. However, as a homeschooling family, we often start our day much later than the PS kids and are still working at 3:05. To, hopefully, alleviate some of our interruptions and stress this year I found these cool magnetic sheets (used to cover air vents in the house) and printed up signs to attach to them. They are paintable too, but I used my publishing program so that I can manipulate them and reuse the magnets later on for other signage we may need. I'll post again later to let you know about the progress of our little sign experiment. 

 Here's a photo of the printout before I adhered them to the magnet paper (which you can probably get in 8x11 sheets at a craft store too).  It's just an 8.5X11 piece of card-stock that I divided down the middle and made two signs.  It took me about 30 minutes to get them done and put onto the magnet.  I'd love your feedback - what do you think?

  1. We don't have to worry about neighbors, but that would be a tough distraction. Those magnets are cool! :)
