For the Kids Friday #26

First of all... did you catch my round-up of Parenting Tips, Tricks and Inspirations??  If not, don't miss it.  I have found some great ideas around blogland that I'm sure you'll love.  Find it HERE.

Other news... I have taken a part-time teaching position at the international school where my children are enrolled.  So my time will be stretched a bit.  I will be keeping up with my blog as much as possible, but there may be some weeks were the only post will be the For the Kids Link Party...

Sorry to keep it brief, but you aren't here to read about me, right?  You're here to share and find awesome ideas... including these awesome features from last week!  Oh my gosh, I had SUCH a hard time narrowing it down this week.  Last week was CRAM-PACKED with awesome links!!

BTW... I add all of these features to the A++ tab above, for a collection of features shared at the weekly parties.  I also select links to share at the Sun Scholars Facebook Page each week.  Come "LIKE" SunScholars on Facebook.  See what I'm pinning on Pinterest.  Subscribe to my e-mail updates on the sidebar!!!

Hey Sun Scholar readers!

We are Trish and Bonnie from UNCOMMON and we are thrilled to be here today at Sun Scholars with a guest post!!
                                           

Have You Seen These...

How About These...

Bonnie and I were looking back over the past year (now that our lovely, beautiful, sweet children are back in school!) and by far these two projects have had the most interest on our little blog, Uncommon!

It never fails, each week these continue to rank very high in our stats. Of course with the beginning Pinterest , well, let's just say we have been shocked by the numbers!

They were based on a tutorial found at Shanty 2 Chic.  Bonnie and I loved the look of them and knew we had to make them for ourselves. We followed their tutorial, but we did add an extra piece of wood under the glass jars to give it some extra visual weight and stability. Another little extra was spraying each with a semi-gloss poly to give it a very finished look!

These are so cute and offer you LOTS  of decorating flexibility. Our children LOVE to see what we will fill them with next!!

  

How about you? What would you fill them with?

Hop on over to UNCOMMON and look around, we would love to have you visit and stay for a while! Meanwhile, keep an eye out for what we will be doing with these for the fall!

It's going to be super cute!
