Summer Sign

Just in case you need reminding, Summer IS HERE!!! I do not need reminding, however, I like to celebrate the start of summer BIG TIME. (I am a teacher and I have been counting down the days until summer since, oh, let's say last September!

Anyhow, in honor of the great yellow blob in the sky and to remind people to never forget summer, I made a burlap sign. Every time I glance at it, I smile to myself and then think of how many days we have left of school (5 in case you were wondering).

Step 1: Cut out burlap to fit in the picture frame and cut out the summer stencil (I used 2" Doodletype Cricut cartridge).

Step 2: Paint it on the burlap. Let dry.

Step 3: Put into picture frame.

Step 4: Stop staring at your sign and get outside and start enjoying summer!!

I'll be linking to these parties this week (and dreaming of summer vacation).

Indian Summer Bicycle Basket

It's conference week at school. I am really busy. Since Mother Nature has decided to give Michigan another round of nice weather, I thought I would share something I wish I was doing... riding my bike!

FYI: An Indian summer is a meteorological phenomenon that occurs in autumn, in the Northern Hemisphere. It is characterized by a period of sunny, warm weather, after the leaves have turned following an onset of frost, but before the first snowfall.

Perfect!

PS: Yes, Tulah really does go for bike rides with me and she totally seems to enjoy herself. She's pretty cool.
