Back to School, Old School

I feel it in my fingers
I feel it my toes
Summer’s almost over
And so the feeling grows.
Yes, summer vacation, short and sweet if you’re a kid, long and expensive if you’re a parent, is just about over.
While the first day of school has never been a favorite of mine, I fondly remember the preparations that preceded it each year. Besides the fact that everyone in my family suffers from an acute office supplies addiction (markers and post-its and pens! oh my!) there’s something optimistic about the whole ritual. Every year is a new leaf, a second chance, a do-over. This year you’ll take nice, neat notes, keep your books in order and finish all of your homework before watching TV.
But even if you won’t, you can still enjoy making some pretty new book covers. As parents, this is a chance to spend some quality time with your children. A few stamps, stickers, stencils and some glitter can turn the book wrapping chore into a fun arts and crafts afternoon.
