We have cloth book covers here. They're really stretchy and are supposed to fit any size book - with the exception of the mammoth book your kid brings home with explicit instructions to have it covered by the next day. Then the thing never fits.

I love, love, love your scrapbook page for back to school, it's adorable! Stopping by from SITS this morning, happy Wednesday to you!

yes we do cover books and notebooks here too!! but back in the philippines, we buy rolls of plastic cover, here they have ready made covers!! a bit more expensive though but they are ready for you to use. when i was younger, i would first cover my stuff with nice paper (like what you did) and then cover it again with plastic.
oh!! goodluck with the bathroom renovation!! i am excited to see what will happen next...hehehe

That's great everyone's in school & loving it! We wrap books here too in the USA...as a kid I did it with paperbags from the market (and then would doodle all over them), but now the kids use cloth ones.

lots of lessons learned this week- some I rather would not have learned - there are reasons why things happen, and although we don't understand why - there's a reason. I don't like waiting to find out the reason though.
I've learned that sometimes -no answers to a prayer - are indeed the "answer"
My cat turns her back on me whenever I point the camera to her -
My husband is much better at grilling burgers than I am.
Glad you enjoyed your lunch w/ Jen - I hope to be able to lunch at Avoca with you too.
Have a great week -
the kids are sooo adorable.

Yes! We cover books in Australia too, though we usually use sticky contact which lasts longer than paper does.

We used to have to cover our school books as well. I always used brown paper grocery bags, that way I could decorate them however I wanted. It also gave me somewhere to doodle when I wasn't paying attention in class!

Like the school photos!

We have a busy month too!

Your bathroom sink and tub look gorgeous! So, there's a good start! We totally redid our bathroom when we bought our home and it was an ordeal...but worth it!

My September calendar is down right scary too!

Sounds like the school year got off to a great start. It's always nice when your child loves his kindergarten teacher as much as a cheese sandwich!

I love the title "The Room of Gloom." I'm sure you will be very happy to remove the gloomy gray, though.

I love reading your posts. They are so fun and always make me think. You have a good balance going.

My kids won't be heading out the door until college. Rather a scary thought! Several more years ahead before I get to sit and read a book straight through again. But I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Are you in N. Ireland? I know a girl who works over there and met her man over there. They get married next weekend. It would be fun to see you both sometime. :)
