[tempus vernum]

This is a great thread - it's reminding me of several things I usually look for (I also do the dollar store) and several things that would make my life much much easier I still have school supplies I didn't use last year.

I suddenly thought of something I stock ONLY this time of year - index cards and sticky notes (it was on my list but usually I get them dirt cheap during school supply time). I use them a ton.

AND hard plastic pencil cases. In addition to organizing my school supplies I use them in my bathroom for little things

I also peruse the school supply area whenever I am at walmart/target or the dollar store between end of july and mid october (after mid september is my favorite time cuz of clearance - i usually try to hold off past labor day to purchase anything). I am going today to walmart and the dollar store. I'm having to take a deep breath because this post has me all excited

This is a beautiful Idea - maybe I will start one for my dd2. I wish I had heard of this before
