Homework Desk

Hey Everyone!  I hope you’re having a great day! With school starting everywhere I thought I would show you a homework desk that might be useful for the students in your life.

I started with a serving tray I found at the thrift store.  I painted it a bright yellow and added blue chalkboard paint to the top.  Adding red washi tape around the edge completes the common school color theme.  Adding a few vinyl encouraging words and a ruler completes the look.

To keep supplies handy I added two slide rails under the tray to hold the plastic storage bin.  Your kids will have no excuse for not having everything they need and a place to study with this type of desk.

Why This Day Means So Much

I love this day.  I have so many fond memories that have taken place on the 4th of July.  Time with family, BBQ’s, and fireworks.  Then there are the parades.  Who doesn’t love a good parade.  Relaxing with family, watching the excitement through a child’s eyes, and watching my children march in their parades.  Such amazing moments!

4th of July Flapper Dress

Hello friends!

I hope you all have some fun plans for celebrating our Independence day.
I wanted to make something special for my girls to wear. The only place to buy some outfits here is Walmart and that means that everyone else in town will have the same stuff and because I am a procrastinator I didn’t order anything online.  So, I decided to make something.  Now I’m NOT a person that sews.  I don’t usually enjoy it, BUT I do know how to sew and if I can do this so can you!
