Wall Pocket

Everytime I say that, I sing it like “Hot Pockets”.  You do too, right?  Maybe not.  Well, I picked up this little do-hicky at Salvation Army a couple of weeks ago.  I’ve been looking for something like this since last fall, but I could never find what I was looking for.

Right now you’re thinking, “Uh…that’s what she was looking for?”  It was $1.99, and it had the clean lines I wanted.  Plus, it looks great sitting on my washing machine. 

I went to my local craft-booking store and bought some labels.  These are the ones I did not use.  The ones I went with were white with iridescent glitter all over them.  I, of course, forgot to take a picture of them.  They were only $2.00, though.  .1 cent more than the wall pocket cost, mind you.

I used the paint I had from my mudroom cabinets because I like it all matchy matchy.  Well, that and it was free.

I simply spray painted the tags from white with glitter to stone—with no glitter.  I typed out my kids’ names on some paper, glued the tags on, and stuck the paper inside.  Voila!

Conveniently placed at the back door, I will continue to misplace their school papers anyway no longer misplace any important papers or library books during the school year.

Not bad for $3.99, eh?
