School Supplies. Glue Gun. Wall Decor?

Saw a fun wall art idea in a Pottery Barn Kids magazine recently so Kari and I decided to give it a try for their kid room.  It was fun, inexpensive, and made with love....

Couldn't help but grab a fun DOF shot.  Craft: In progress.

Wasn't sure how to get the colored pencils lined up correctly one by one, so I came up with the idea to glue the backs of them together and then flip them over as one group.  It worked.  For the most part.  =)

Here's Kari, working on the button piece...

The final product!  I think they turned out really well!  Colored pencils, Buttons, and Crayons!  Super appropriate for a kid's room!  BTW...awesome shadow box frames from IKEA.  

On a different note, tonight is my last night here so I started packing...realized that I bought a lot of stuff while here...LOL.

And yes, I managed to get everything into my suitcase, even that big obnoxious wooden photo prop that I bought on clearance at Homegoods.  HA!  I will probably be fined by Allegiant Air for being over the 50 pound limit but, oh well, it was on *clearance*!  ;)
