Another Project Finished

I wish I could say I finished this project in my first week off, but  this was done a while ago.  I just haven't posted the photo.  I was inspired by Cara's wall in her new house.  I just loved it and I had the perfect wall for it. 

I purchased everything at Hobby Lobby.  Love that store.  The best part of this project was that my husband and I were able to accomplish all of the measuring, hammering, and placement of pictures happily.  Ha!  You know exactly what I mean.  I love him dearly but when home projects happen,  it can bring out the worst in couples. 

That Family sign was about an inch off and I knew it would DRIVE me
Ka-razy....but he sweetly took it down re-measured and hung it again.  The rest of the frames were cake after that.   The wall color is Ralph Lauren Crab Apple.  We used Behr paint mixed at Home Depot.    I hope it inspires you to find a wall and decorate this summer. 

Summer Bucket List

Summer is officially here.  Well actually my last day was Thursday but I went in on Friday to do a lot of organizing and throwing away.  I am doing more and more of that every year.  Unfortunately,  I am never the teacher who is packed up and ready to leave the day of post planning.   I like to dust, scrub and cover everything in plastic so that the dust doesn't settle again by August. 

So my summer bucket list has already started.  First I organized my closet.  I threw out all of the shoe boxes that filled the floor and it looks like this:

2. I plan on making lots of these for my own sweet kiddos:

 

 

3.  We won't be traveling to any far away places but will stay close to home and visit Sea World's new Antarctica exhibit.  Love that Florida teachers get a free pass and the Florida Fun Card makes it affordable for our whole family.

 

 

4.  Then I plan on using my mani-pedi gift certificate from one of my little cherubs.   I love these two color from OPI....Barefoot in Barcelona and Lucky Lucky Lavender.

 

 

I know my summer may not sound exciting but I'm so thrilled to just be home and enjoying my quiet cup of coffee at 8ish in the morning instead of 6 AM.  The biggest plus is being at home with my own kids....best part of summer.
