Back To School Bus Frame Make this school bus picture frame to celebrate the kids going back to school (or for their first time)! Not only does this bus show off those memorable photos, it can also hold your child's beautiful art work on the refrigerator. Or you can omit the magnetic strips and put it in your scrap book. Either way it is a memory to save forever! One for each year! (Click on image for larger view)
