Where I live, (20 minutes from Lake Huron in Michigan), we have had a LONG, cold, snowy winter! Finally, however, we had a week of seventy-degree days, blue sky and sunshine. My elementary school, where I am principal, is about to shut down for the summer, and I have PLANS!
I've been planning to redecorate my master bedroom and bath... This is what I do every summer - I choose a room and get busy!
I'm going with neutrals - taupe and white with a light sea green accent. Everything is ready to go...I am just waiting for my time at home so I can do what I LOVE to do. I will be posting along the way with before and after pics!
OTHER summer project plans include making bath salts, a great thing to have on hand for small gifts and self-pampering! It's really not difficult, and I love the end result. click here for more info...
If you're struggling with finding just the "right thing" for a special person, maybe you should consider giving something that is personalized. Whether it be something for her, for him, for baby, or for them, monogramming or engraving turns a gift into an heirloom. I've done some research, and I have added some gift ideas and the links to give you a start on finding "the perfect gift."
One of my all-time favorite personalized gifts is this yummy candle! I have one, and I have bought it several times for a gift. The biggest plus is the scent. It is the best smelling candle I have ever had!

Be sure to visit my articles that give valuable information about making floral arrangements. I got to follow my own advice when the husband brought home a dozen red roses on Valentine's day! :)

I added a new article today called "The Foundation of the Thing," and it is all about choosing the right container for your floral arrangements. Check it out! :)

This entry is part of a series of articles about making your own floral arrangements. There's more to come.... There's no reason you can't "do it yourself!"
It's been snowing here all day - oh, the joys of living in Michigan! I have to admit, though, it's a winter wonderland....God has painted another beautiful picture.
