READ!!!

Some of the things I bought yesterday, in the box o' junk was to complete the READING corner in Cole and Blake's playroom.  I needed a few fun frames (Hobby Lobby 1/2 off of course) and books or book pages.  I found a Curious George Book, The Poky Little Puppy Book, and a few reading flashcards.

I bought 4 red shelves at Garden Ridge that were marked down to $4.99.  I turned the shelf upside down to make a book holder instead of an actual shelf.

I bought letters at Hobby Lobby (why yes 1/2 off) and used Modge Podge to cover them - so they would go with our decor.  I did spray paint the letters first to hide any imperfections.  I still have not "mastered" the whole Modge Podge thing.  If I had to guess, the entire project cost about $50-give or take a few pennies.

This morning I added the frames full of book pages and flashcards. 



I want to have a playroom that is fun for the kids, yet I want it to fit in with the rest of our house.  I think we have a good start!!!

BTW...this is what one of my helpers did to the playroom while I was making the Reading Corner and Daddy was hanging something in the Game Room...whatcha gonna do???
