Another school year begins!

My 1st grader and 4th grader.  Seriously? 

I’m praying for happy mornings, absorbent minds, and many blessings for Mrs. Milligan and Mrs. Hendrix. :)

Another giant B

I love words.  And letters. 

Needless to say, that means that I’m loving all the subway art I’ve seen recently. (Exhibit A: my header.  Exhibit B:  the morning chore reminder.)

While curly, swirly monograms aren’t my favorite, I am also in love with all the modern, giant letters I see showing up on Pinterest.  (Follow me here.)

So, when our local HL ran chipboard letters for about 50% off, I grabbed a 10-inch ‘B’ for $1 and a skein of grey yarn.  One episode of PR later, I had this:

So easy, so cool.  It’s the perfect touch to our updated (read as "new shower curtain and a print”) yellow, grey and aqua bathroom.

Peacock Fleur de Lis

My sister hosted a Painting with a Twist party for her birthday.  So much fun! 

23 ladies from 21 to 50ish, blank canvases, one patient teacher, lots of paint, a few brushes, some snacks and 3 hours later we had masterpieces.

Well, sorta! :)

We had a blast!
