Crafty

Last year I purchased some 8 inch, plain white, wood letters to hang up outside of my classroom. They were on sale at Hobby Lobby for $1.50 ea. In the madness of getting my room together and getting acquainted with my new school, I didn't bother to paint them as I had intended. I finally got around to it, and after 3 days of painting and browsing the web for ideas, this is what I came up with. Not sure if I like the creepy eye-ball looking one.

Now my I'll have some school color decor for my new room.

I have a new appreciation as to why boutiques sell handpainted letters for $20+ per letter! Let's just say that if Joe and I were to ever divorce, I would keep his last name! I think I am done being crafty for a while.

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Back in March Joe and my parents tilled up the garden and planted several varieties of veggies...and after surviving a couple of frosts, here's what we've got so far:

Lemon Boy tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, Celebrity tomatoes, okra, banana peppers, strawberries, onions, bell peppers, and of course, the collard greens have long since been harvested and devoured. If anyone needs tomatoes....we've got them coming out of our ears. It's amazing what one can get from 3 plants.
