August 2014 ~ Welcome Back to School

Well, it's August here in Louisiana and that means back to school for the kids.

Do you find when school is ending for the year that we are all hurried a bit to make it happen more quickly?  The kids get a break from studying, parents don't have to worry about whether homework is completed, and most of all, summer vacation.  Oddly, by the time summer has ended, we're just as anxious for it to get back in session.  The return of school offers a much needed break for those parents whose home was tagged the 'summer hangout'.

This month the design team has designed some amazing and extremely varying projects for our "Welcome Back to School" theme.  Not one project is alike and yet they all offer an eye-opening take on clever back to school projects.

This months template is "My Little School Desk".
