crazy day...turned into a great evening

well I had to test one of my students today since she missed the reading state test earlier this week....well in the middle of the test she ends up having a sneezing attack that kept going on and on and on!!! Not knowing what to do we called the office to see what to do...well her attack continued and turned into an asthma attack too!!! had to send her to the dr for meds...yeah was a really scary experience for me...i dont want to have to deal with that ever again!!!

But on a positive note ended up having dinner with 5 of my favorite ladies from school!!! Haven't laughed that hard in awhile...then went and got pedicures and my nails done for the first time ever thanks to Georgana!! gotta love that girl id be lost without her down here!! Now gotta get some sleep were off to go to yard sales in the AM and then i have a dress fitting at 11:00!!! Excited we're getting down there now!!!!

Good night everyone!!

1st Recycled Project!!!

Ive been reading a lot of blogs lately on others who have turned trash into treasure. SO I decided to try for myself.
So I headed down to my local good will store and picked up a set of 4 wooden wall plaques. They had wooden palm trees on them doesn't really go with my craft room or anything else in my house.

I painted around the sides a gray color. The unfinished wood just didn't work for me.
Then I used mod podge and covered over the top of the pieces as well as i could and then i covered each piece with a different sheet of coordinating paper.
The back side is all ready to hang on the wall. These were originally from the dollar general for $2 each! I only paid $0.79!!

And my finished pieces!! Now I just need to finish cleaning and organizing my craft room and decide which wall I want to hang these on!!! Such an easy project to do and it only cost $5!!! So much cheaper than going out and buying something brand new!! I think I will see what other treasures i can find this weekend!!!

Thanks to Mod Podge Rocks for all of the awesome ideas!!!

Crazy time of the year!!!

This is a crazy time of the year for all teachers out there! We are currently doing end of grade testing! I don't know who its more stressful on me or the students. Anyways among all the school work trying to clean up for the end of the year and praying the students pass the test and wedding planing I just don't know what to do with myself anymore!!!

Finally though wedding planning is moving along how it should be! Everything is done and planned for our July 10th beach wedding with just our families. Then we are going on a 5 night honeymoon to the Dominican Republic to an all inclusive ADULTS ONLY resort. (All of my fellow teachers thought that it was pretty funny we are going to an adults only resort! But yes i do need a break from kids for part of my summer vacation!) SO excited for white sand and turquoise blue water!!!

Among all of the wedding planning I'm on a cleaning out and reorganizing kick. Last weekend decided i need a new craft desk....so at 8:30 pm started looking on craigs list for something and by 9:30pm we had found and bought a big wooden desk locally!! So excited!!! Now i'm all about cleaning out and reworking my craft room...yeah not sure why i choose this time of the year to do all this but its all in the process. I hauled everything out of the little closet tonight and hopefully tomorrow night will start organizing and cleaning out old materials! I plan to post pictures as I go so you all can see all the work I'm doing. Found wonderful ideas online and cant wait to incorporate them into my craft space!!!

well i keep telling myself to go to bed going to be a long day of walking around the room praying my students pass the test tomorrow. Keep myself and them in your prayers we will sure need it for the next 3 days!!!
