Hello again!
I know I said this last time, but geeze, where has the time gone. School has started now and though this year has been so much better than last already, I still feel like I could spend hours wasting away in my classroom with no real results. So much to do, so little time in the school day!
Some of you have asked me about what crafts I did this summer and I must say, I crafted my heart out... and loved every minute of it! I sometimes wonder why I don't craft for a living but my lovely husband reminds me that it probably wouldn't be as much fun if I HAD to craft everyday. I think he is wrong! ;)
Anyways, here are a few of the things I did this summer.
Father's day in June was a success with his beer cake. He claimed it was "silly" but let's be honest, he LOVED it! Who wouldn't?! My favorite part was the topper under the balloon because it is a Bud Light bottle. For those of you who know my Dad and I well, this is a constant feud between us so I had to make sure I at least included one of those in there. ;)
Spray painted mason jars from our wedding. Lovely decorations now for our empty upstairs bathroom. It needed something to spice it up!
FAVORITE craft of the summer--classroom pillows! Now, I don't sew so maybe sometime I can post a whole blog post about how I made these without ever needing a piece of thread or sewing machine. They turned out extremely well and fyi, my kiddos love them this year! They think they are the coolest thing ever and I must say, our lounge is overflowing with pillows at this point. I can't stop! I am feeling some Christmas pillows for the house coming up soon.....hmmmmmm!
DYI coasters with some friends turned out to be such a fun evening. We decided on a whim that we needed a craft night and when someone mentioned needed coasters I thought, we can make some! They turned out pretty well if you ask me and after we made three different sets, we are now pros!
More to come soon. Until next time,
The Wallaces
