I went thrifting yesterday (yes, that's a verb). I was looking for something specific, which is a big no-no in the thrifting world since rule number one in thrifting is that you will NEVER find what you are looking for, but nevertheless I was looking for some small wooden bowls or trays for my classroom. Didn't find any. Shocking, I know. Instead I found two men's dress shirts, one pink, one purple that I am going to upcycle / remake into dresses for my adorable granddaughters. They were half price, so I got both of them for $3. I will cut off the sleeves and cut the bodies off under the arms, make a band from the sleeves for around the chest (elastic in the back, for comfort), gather the body a little, add straps to the top of the band and POW!! Two little sundresses for my pumpkins for $3 and a little time. They will love them--and I will take pictures when I'm done.
I also had a fun lunch with Kaleigh and Mary Beth yesterday--it was super fun. CPK--had the Barbecue Chopped Chicken Salad.
On Saturday I went and painted my classroom (the alcove), and cubbies. I painted them a lovely sage green, I think I'm going to love it. It definitely looks different. It's time for that classroom to belong to ME and not the former tenant. I feel very personally about my classroom and it's time for me to own it. This is the year I do amazing things. I declare it right now.
Doing a little laundry today. I took a couple of days off work this week and next week, and I plan to enjoy them completely. I'm going to finish my bottle garden today, and go swimming. Just take it easy tomorrow, maybe cook a nice meal.
I'm off to dig out my bottle garden--TTFN!
