Wish I’d thought of that…

I’ve been seeing so many great ideas around the blogshpere, and every time one catches my eye, I find myself sending a link to my sister.  But why should she be the only one I share these super finds with anyway?  From now on, I’m going to have a new featured post called “Wish I’d Thought of That!”  Now you’ll get to see all these inspired ideas too.

Wish I’d thought of that…

I got to this cute summer reading incentive in a very roundabout way.  It comes from Bridget at Everyday Chaos, who guest posted at 30 Handmade Days.  (I originally saw it at Be Different, Act Normal.)  And now that you’re up to speed, would you just look at this??

If you have a reluctant reader, like I do, anything that can get him or her to read is huge.  HUGE!  Though, because I don’t sew, I would have to do something different for the cute little bag, but frankly, my kids would really dig a reading gumball machine.  Can you imagine the reading that would ensue if there was a reading gumball machine on the counter?  It makes my head spin.  And the little poem is great too.  Just pure genius, start to finish!  {Way to go, Bridget!}
