I have no idea where the summer has gone. But I'm pretty clear on where I have gone! Hmm... Lake Blue Ridge GA (twice), Lake Rabun GA, Eufaula AL, Destin FL, Huntsville AL, and Albany GA. Lotsa travel, people. The hubs likes to pick up and go. :) We've had a busy summer and it's already winding down... soon I'll be brushing up on my curriculum and brainstorming bulletin boards for my classroom. Yikes! This week it's all about the boys... … [Read more...]
An {in}spired Finishing Touch (Front Porch Makeover)
July 25, 2012 by · 9 Comments
I'm a self-professed 90% girl when it comes to projects. I have a tendancy to get a home project or room makeover about 90% complete and then I either run out of steam or get distracted by some other project I'm longing to get started on. One of my goals for this year was to finish what I start and I'm so proud to say I have completed my front porch summer makeover. I mean, it's only July 25th, right? :-) This is one of those posts where … [Read more...]
A Home for the Watercolors {Thrift Store Frames}
July 20, 2012 by · 8 Comments
At last. A home for my grandmother's watercolors that she painted back in the 1950's. After months of searching art supply and framing stores and pondering custom frames, a simple pair of thrift store frames got the gig. Once they got a little facelift and were paired with prefab mats from Michael's, they were the perfect solution. I love the way the finish turned out (read about that here). I love that both her hands and … [Read more...]
Thrift Store Frames Revamp {Chalk Paint}
July 13, 2012 by · 14 Comments
I'm alive but functioning at about 50% -- not good when you have a dining room in total disarray and company on the way! I've put my indentured servants teenagers to work helping clean and fluff for the grandparents... times like this I love having older kids! Thank you for your well wishes yesterday - I so needed your words of encouragement. I was hoping to share a fully completed project today using these thrift store frames, but I'm … [Read more...]
June’s Favorite Things
June 29, 2012 by · 8 Comments
Gosh I thought May was crazy, but June has been a little nutty, too! I secretly enjoy the revolving door days of summer with all the kids home and their friends in tow. And then there's the sky high grocery bills and endless dishes and laundry. But I'm willing to overlook those things to enjoy our summer time together. :) I've got some exciting things planned around my house in July, so stay tuned for those, but in the meantime, here are my … [Read more...]

And he's on "duty" while I'm nervously hob-nobbing at Haven today. In the spirit of Father's Day we're celebrating "our" men over at Fancy Little Things this week, so I invite you to come meet my other half, the leaver of love notes and back flipper off the dock. :) And he's not bad to look at, either. :) Have a blessed day! … [Read more...]

Rainy Monday…

It's a rainy Monday in Georgia and I'm digging out from under a fabulous weekend at the lake with my husband. :-) Nice problem to have, no? I have some fun posts coming your way about life at the lake and today you get a sneak peek. I also got a little motivated when I downloaded all my photos to give PicMonkey a try. The collages are a great way to share LOTS of photos (and I have LOTS to share!). Back with more tomorrow! … [Read more...]
May’s Favorite Things
May 31, 2012 by · 7 Comments
I seriously did not think I would make it through May. I fully intended to roll through the month with a few outdoor projects I could share here and at The Great Outdoors linky party and with my sanity intact. But here I sit, brain-dead, in a very dirty, messy house, recovering from a brutal chest cold that kicked my hiney the last week of school, with nothing to show but a few of my favorites and a To Do List for June. Sorry, folks! Life … [Read more...]
