Pintersting Projects Galore

ByElizabeth S.

Summer time rocks!

I can totally catch up on everything!

Exhibit A:

That’s like NEVER gonna happen during the school year.  I don’t even try anymore.

But, wow.

With that theme in mind, I’m going to get majorly caught up on all of the fun things I’ve been pinning:

And with that, I’m linking up with one of my bestest bloggy buddies Amber over at {yes, I know bestest is not a word, but it’s summertime, folks}


to show you the “Pinteresting Things” I’m going to make this summer.

But, I have managed to complete at least one project already, remember?

Speaking of this project, I’ve had a few questions that I thought I’d answer first before I link up with Amber.

The number one question was how did I paint it?  What is going to keep it from peeling?

Exhibit B {that sounds so fancy}:

I used Rust-oleum Painters’ Touch Primer first and then Rust-oleum Painters’ Touch Paint.  Both of them claim that you can cover plastic with it.  So far, so good. {This is a new can of paint, the color didn’t magically change to green from pink.  That would make me have super-powers.  Man, I wish I had super-powers!}

I’m assuming that Mr. Rust-oleum will not peel.  If he does, I’m going to be upset.  Well, maybe not too upset.  I shouldn’t get worked up over something so little. 

I probably will.

That’s my next project in the background, by the way.  You will see it next Monday on Tara’s linky 🙂

Now to some pins that I plan on trying this summer:

New Year's Resolution Linky!

Here I am again wanting to be held accountable.  I know, I know… What better way to do so than to have people read what my resolutions are so that I feel obligated to keep them?  Actually, I’m not a “resolution” kind of gal.  I never keep them.  Surprised?  What I do like to do,…

Cancer Sucks.  And it is all around us.  If you haven’t been personally affected by cancer, then you should consider yourself very lucky.  I have had several family members and friends lose their battle with cancer including my grandfather, my aunt, and my daughter’s best friend’s mother.   In my daughter’s young life, she has…

First Day of THE TEST…and a Freebie :)

I don’t want to talk about it. At All. Well, maybe a little.  All I’m legally allowed to say is that I’m super proud of about 95% of my kiddos for looking like they knew what they were doing. It warms my heart…at least until tomorrow. Nah, I’m sure they will Rock IT!  Tomorrow is…

Monday Made It Again

ByElizabeth S.

Crafting frees my mind. Did you spit a little of your coffee out at that sentence? Seriously.  It really does, though. I’ve always been rather crafty, and this summer I think I put that into overdrive.  But, it has been wonderfully fulfilling.  And my classroom looks great. Linking up (again) with my buddy, Tara: First…
