It’s the last day of school!! I wanted to do something nice for Little J’s teacher. She’s been a wonderful teacher for J.
Her teacher LOVES Diet Coke…so the Diet Coke cake was born.
I saw this idea on Pinterest but it was a beer can cake for a guy. Really the possibilities are endless with this idea.
I finally got around to making the plant markers that I’ve been thinking about since last Fall. They are just so darn cute!!
UPDATE: I really should have explained what I did with these. Everyone is asking so…
I dipped the spoons in ordinary black craft paint and hung them to dry. I used a white colored pencil to write on them. It’s currently raining…so far so good on it not washing off. Only time will tell. If it’s a grand fail I’ll let you all know in a new post. :)
I’m one of those girls who thinks you can never have too many purses, handbags and totes.
I’ve used this cute little wicker handbag for several summers as plain-Jane as can be.
Then the idea struck…what about a little flower embellishment to dress it up a bit.
I think it’s even better now!!
Shhh….
The last page in my Watkins journal. Gathered from bits and pieces thrown in a drawer.
The photo is me from a couple years ago. It was an extra from a scrapbook page…yes, have been known to scrapbook every once in a great while.
I wrote a personal journal entry on the back of the date due slip in the pocket.
All I have left is to do some things with the outside covers of this journal. It’s been a fun experimenting journal. I’ve started using a date stamp so I can keep track of what I did and when. You always think you’ll remember but I have learned that I just don’t.
Today and Always.
Thank you to all the service men and women who put their lives on the line everyday and to those have have served in the past. God Bless.
This journal spread was several days in the making.
I started with light colors…then went to orange and rust…then an overlay of cooler pastel colors.
I finally settled on some flowers. I had intended on having the flowers be the background color and covering the rest with another more solid color but it all went to pieces.
Oh well. Trying new things and failing is all a part of learning.
I decided that the quote Enjoy the Moment was perfect. I needed to just sit back and enjoy.
It was more about the process than the result this time for me and that’s ok.
