China Cabinet

My mom's old china cabinet had been sitting in the warehouse for a while, so I decided to refinish it.....not sure what I was thinking! Projects always seem much easier than they really are! Although in the end, I have yet to do a project that I wasn't happy with when finished. I didn't think to take pictures before taking the doors off, but you can sort of see the original look. This is just step one of many, primer!

Let's Go Fly a Kite!

So, as I was trying to come up with something to teach the Burmese kids tonight, I thought of making kites! I found this youtube video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSnjQNKnjYs and the kids who followed it well had fantastic kites. We decorated ours with tissue paper, but other than that and straws, there was no cost! Who knew grocery sacks made such good kites! After the excitement of flying kites the kids ran and played in the nearby field. This is what you do in Idaho when Summer hasn't decided to show itself yet!

The Super Sweet Net

Sorry this took me forever! Our yearbook advisor had a busy end of the year getting the yearbook pages done, so I didn't get ahold of the pictures until yesterday! I had a camera there, but was busy all night running around etc! Making the big net that is hanging from the ceiling was hilarious! My students kept looking at me like I was some weirdo weaving tulle around, but they all loved it when it was up! Overall, I was happy with how everything turned out!

Truffle!

For the last day of school, the kids always get out early and the teachers either go out to eat or do a little pot luck. I signed up for dessert and couldn't decide what to do, but this is what came out! It turned out way yummy! I almost forgot to take some out for Ben and when I realized it was almost gone! He better like it!

Backyard Patio/Firepit

When Ben found out he didn't have to go back to school until June 6th, we decided to work on a little patio/firepit project. We aren't finished, but here's a little fiew of what we have started. I'm so excited to see the end product! Ben has worked so hard on it!

Graduation

I had to whip up some graduation cards last Wednesday, but they turned out pretty good for as quick as they were done. With only 7 senior graduating, I tried to make them all unique.
