"Brag" Board...from metal shelving???

This seems like maybe a better "Back to School" post...than and first day of Summer post...but if you are like me, you've been sorting and tossing "filing" all sorts of fun school stuff.  I'm just not ready to pack it all away just yet...

That's when I remembered these metal shelf pieces I got at a thrift store a while back.

Not really sure which part of the shelf these were...I of course wasn't going to use them "as intended" anyway...imagine that?! ;)

I used my favorite "Amazing Goop" glue to attach the yard sticks for a little extra fun. 

And whipped up a couple "age appropriate" magnets...

Mr. Charming is 8...

...and little Miss Charming is 4.

I let them help me pick out an assortment of favorite projects and memories from the school year.

That was the fun part :)

Here they are...hanging in our hallway to the basement...very BAD lighting!

Just my "Old School" fixture.

And now I leave you with a little thought...I sure do try :)

Have a great rest of your week!
