Hi everyone, happy Friday!

I know summer is still in full swing, and we've been lazy lately, spending a little extra time cuddling kids and enjoying summer nights with the endless sun up here in Alaska, after the past couple of months of working such long hours on our cabin.  But I can't help but feel anxious about the coming school year, and the ever present need for better organization around our home.  Kids and mail - they sure do create alot of paper mess, don't they? 

So I spent a couple hours in the garage, making this -

It's a simple little wall organizer, made from just two 1x2 boards (about $3) and a 24" x 48" (about $7) 1/4" thick project panel.  Not a bad $10 project, right?  

This is how I made the project -

I'm thrilled to be working with my favorite glue company this year, Elmer's!!!  I've been using Elmer's on woodworking projects from the beginning, and their glue has never failed me.  This project I did for Elmer's, and their growing collection of DIY projects, so check it out here!
