Show and Tell Saturday: Show off your creativity!
I’ve been stretching myself to be more creative lately, so I thought I would show you what I’ve been up to and give you an opportunity to show off too!
I’m counting decorating my dining room shelves as a creative endeavor for this week. We don’t have much storage in the new kitchen (no pantry or closet–yikes!), so I needed to add some shelving. I didn’t want the shelves to look like “storage” though.
I think I struck a good balance between usefulness and beauty. The baskets are hiding some dry goods (like cereal in the bottom left square basket) and other assorted kitchen items we don’t have room for elsewhere. The bottom shelves (out of sight) have some boxes with canned goods and some of our gluten free snacks.
I also had time before the move to make an journal entry.
It’s very simple, but I enjoyed making it.
What have you created this week?
Leave a comment or a link to your blog post with a new recipe you tried, furniture you painted, a poem you wrote, a scrapbook page you designed, a hat you crocheted–whatever you created…
Show and Tell!
I’m linking up at Fridays Unfolded!
Just wondering how you store your homeschool supplies? Do you have a separate room dedicated to it?
No, we do not have a separate room, but we have book shelves in our living room that hold reading books and research books. Each child has a plastic bin in their room with a pencil box and most of the books they use each day. When I had an entire room, we expanded our books and supplies to fill it, but we didn’t use most of it, so this is what we do now. Hope this helps. 🙂
Using a bookshelf is so creative, good idea. You can also add scrap booking paper or wall paper or other decorative paper to the inside of the back wall to make it pop, or paint. Also some molding at the top and or sides will make it look less boxy.
love your blog,

Thanks for the ideas. 🙂
Good idea. Thanks!
The bookcases look really nice. I absolutely love your art project/journal entry. Simple, yet it has so much to say. You did a great job on it. It has inspired me to get back to doing those kind of things myself. It reminds me that I need to take time for myself and create something. I’ve left that behind for too long now. Thanks for getting my creative mind going again.
We don’t have a pantry either so I use bookshelves as well. Mine don’t look as pretty as yours. I’m inspired now to try, though.
This is a poem I had written, I am doing a bible study about replacing your fear with faith and God laid this on my heart:)
