1. Really enjoying being home again...and speaking of home I don't think I ever shared the final house color
2. Black...I went simple and classic...with new red Adirondack chairs on the front porch. I would have totally been the person to do the red front door thing, but we have screen doors that we use most nights to let in a cool breeze and red never seemed to be the right option with them so the chairs helped me feel like we got the fun pop of color.
3. That officially brings the great color debate of 2010 to a close...thank goodness.
4. The other outdoor project was to remove our neighbor's bougainvillea monster (you can see it on the side of the house here) and paint the wall in between our houses. Now we just need to get some more grass growing and go plant shopping...I am always way too happy to plant shop.
5. I'm still tackling the trip photos today and one aspect is the travel album. Almost every night I wrote a summary and included the bits from the day...things like ticket stubs, restaurant menus or various maps & brochures. I have started adding a couple photos to the back of each "Today" page and it is almost complete...
6. And speaking of Cartwheels projects I had an article about Back to School cards go up while I was gone.
7. I will share the little first day of school gifts I made for Mac's teachers sometime soon...lucky guy doesn't go back to class until September 8th.
8. I have another little school card to share for Well Wishes tomorrow.
9. Speaking of school I saw the syllabus for one of my classes today. Yikes. It calls for us to transition from being a consumer of knowledge to a producer of knowledge. Please wish me luck with that.
10. During my Salem outing with Amber I once again raided the best office supply store ever and just have to share some of my loot...if you'd like this mailed to you please leave a comment and I'll draw a name on Thursday.
