Thank You- Wonderful Teachers!

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I just think the world of the wonderful teachers that my children have been blessed to have this year. Each has had an enormous amount of love and patience for my children and as a mom I certainly can't thank them enough. With just a few days left of school ( my oldest graduating... kindergarten)  I am sending the kids off today with an end of the year gift for each of their teachers. I knew this was the gift for sometime now, since it was something that I bought myself a while back and get complements each time I have it on my shoulder.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9caZ4SKMpH6qQF5cZFrZcrd_4Ry23fX7YIdYBvXu9kRVKqJm6BE9_jAn6yvF5rPXH4W-G__GV-WCuzd2LBihsOSGZlQz4ayL4n0Z499LBrXTDbAIFLyWGSXJu9kZeH05g-yRBWZkEJ3EA/s1600/IMG_4718.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9caZ4SKMpH6qQF5cZFrZcrd_4Ry23fX7YIdYBvXu9kRVKqJm6BE9_jAn6yvF5rPXH4W-G__GV-WCuzd2LBihsOSGZlQz4ayL4n0Z499LBrXTDbAIFLyWGSXJu9kZeH05g-yRBWZkEJ3EA/s640/IMG_4718.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I thought the teachers might look alittle more stylish bringing this bag to school instead of their big ole Canvas Tote.

How to be bold enough to Paint a Floor!

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">One of the more daring DIY projects that I ever took on was replacing the floor in our Guest Cottage. More specifically, painting the floor in our Guest Cottage. It's was a bold move that required a back up plan or a new rug at a minimum, but when all was said and done- neither was needed.</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The entire cottage went through some renovations - which I will share in a later post, but this is a before with the carpet and tile </span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipIW3jDAsaNAvK_9nobaUcDSPTH83ywOfysr3ofl90Otgta-UNhHbI8RxrHElA7Oi_xBGLSzIWGSekUtYjdvP-yRH1C5AUywOWyD5pcEG-Ep0cSXzRuZC42Xh7PRsi_-atvyW-cnhWx8s-/s1600/moms+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipIW3jDAsaNAvK_9nobaUcDSPTH83ywOfysr3ofl90Otgta-UNhHbI8RxrHElA7Oi_xBGLSzIWGSekUtYjdvP-yRH1C5AUywOWyD5pcEG-Ep0cSXzRuZC42Xh7PRsi_-atvyW-cnhWx8s-/s640/moms+001.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">And this is the after</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl9WJiqDawnvBwlNgm8gfZ7zkQH0OUBUOc7F1hmXPQIFPnadPh38D-V_KVDKoUV00NiLG2dfmiootXtqw-tnnum3AuuD3i434vKd5XhozyAg0OfR1D7Xol2AMqRNNUOwVrq3XBOfst3_FF/s1600/IMG_4623.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl9WJiqDawnvBwlNgm8gfZ7zkQH0OUBUOc7F1hmXPQIFPnadPh38D-V_KVDKoUV00NiLG2dfmiootXtqw-tnnum3AuuD3i434vKd5XhozyAg0OfR1D7Xol2AMqRNNUOwVrq3XBOfst3_FF/s640/IMG_4623.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> I think the hardest part of this project was deciding on the color that I wanted the floor to be.
