Sooooo, After 20 plus years of looking at the inside doors of my armoire, and always wondering what I could do to make them look a little bit nicer, I finally was inspired!!!
First, I sanded down the doors lightly with sand paper...
Second, I painted the inside panels a dark green,,the color matches the back splash in my kitchen.
Third, I ordered the 9 B's vinyl lettering online in bright gold and rubbed it on.
I must say, I love the way it turned out. It is prettier than I expected, and I wish I would have done it years ago. Now when our family watches T.V. we can feel motivated to be better.
GRADUATION TIME!!!!
WE HAD A GREAT BIG GRADUATION PARTY HERE LAST NIGHT AND I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE A FEW OF THE GOODIES I MADE.
I BOUGHT THESE CUTE CUPS AT THE DOLLAR STORE AND THEN DIPPED PRETZELS AND FILLED THE CUPS. I ADDED SOME FOIL TISSUE IN THERE SCHOOL COLORS. THE HIGH SCHOOL COLORS ARE BLUE AND SILVER.
THESE WERE A BIG HIT, AND SO EASY TO MAKE. JUST MELT WHITE CHOCOLATE AND SPRINKLE. PUT THEM IN THE FRIDGE TO SET.
THEY WERE GONE IN SECONDS.
I heard this quote today and thought I would share.....
" I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails............
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived"
