Thoughts of Fall

Tomorrow is the first day of school for us here at the beach and with that I usually usher summer out and welcome the fall season with open arms.  Fall is my favorite time of year and I love to squeeze in every possible minute I can to revel in its splendor.  I love everything there is about fall and enjoy celebrating it in any way I can.  I love the crispness that comes with the air, the falling leaves, the fall grasses and the early evenings.  I love the bonfires, s'mores, and roasting hot dogs along with long walks along the beach and watchng the changing colors everywhere.

Throwback Thursday - Ana White Shelf

It's Throwback Thursday and I want to bring back a little family project we did back in 2012.
I found the most wonderful shelf unit on Ana White's site - Build a Rustic X Console.
Ana has a plethora of the most marvelous plans for all kinds of furniture and they are simple to follow  - so my son says.  My granddaughter's needed a shelf unit in their room for their TV, books, DVD's - all the things girls collect.  They fell in love with this one the same as I did.  So we proceeded to build it.

Wordless Wednesday - Summer Fun

It's Wordless Wednesday today.....

Taken at the Naional Whitewater Center in North Carolina - packing in as much fun as possible before heading back to school next week.

DIY Paper Organizer

I was in definite need of a paper organizer for my desk.  I am constantly putting papers that need to be attended to in small little piles all over my desk - thus they get in the way.  When I went in search of one they were so expensive I decided I could live life without a paper organizer or find a way to make one myself.  Then one morning Miss A left an empty cereal box on the kitchen counter for me and the wheels in my head started turning.  

TBT - Vintage Sewing Box

Today is Throwback Thursday and I have a project for you that I did two years ago.  This is one that brings back many childhood memories.
