Are you ready for my last spray paint project for the week? I'm loving this chalkboard tray that I made! It started as a...well, I'm not sure what I would call this. A cross-stitched sampler tray?! I got it at Goodwill for $1.50. First, I taped off the glass top. Then, I used some spray paint primer to prime the wood. Next, I spray painted the tray with a few coats of Bauhaus Gold by Krylon. {Not pictured.}I removed the tape, then brushed the glass with some ... Read More about One Last Spray Paint Project!

A Cute Spray Painted Tray!
I recently had a spray paint revelation. To prepare myself to go back to work, I've been spray painting things around my house and turning them into classroom treasures! I wanted to "tile" the bottom of the tray (which I spray painted a tangerine color first) with scrap book paper squares.

Happy Monday! I came to a kind of interesting realization about myself over the weekend. I prepare for big changes in my life (like having a baby, starting a new job, etc.) by decorating, crafting and spray painting. Hear me out.

It was my own way of getting ready and excited for her to get here. I find ... Read More about It’s Spray Paint Week!

So easy, so pretty, so cute! *** Now for my "big news". I had no intentions of returning to teaching before having another baby. No intentions at all. However, a job opportunity pretty ...

House Hunting in Charleston…Which House Would You Choose?
I wish we had the kind of funds it would take to buy a home in the historic party of Charleston, SC. But we don't. Trust me. I was following a horse-drawn carriage tour down the street, and I overheard the tour guide telling people how much it cost to live there...we. can't. afford. it. (Yes, I was eavesdropping on a tour that I didn't technically pay for...for several blocks...or more.) Jen played a little game like this on her blog a few weeks ago, and I loved the idea so ...
