Link up time with Doodle Bugs Teaching

{1}  Easy Independence Day Refreshments

I'm dreaming of making something fresh and light today.  These are some ideas I found on Pinterest:

{2}  Summer Chalkboard Art
I've had this vintage chalkboard since I was a child...a very, very long time ago.  Who would have known that I would enjoy playing with it decades later!

{...and bare feet too!}

{3}   Paddle Boarding

A colleague and I went out for a little paddle boarding early yesterday morning.  I cherished the time and it was beautiful out.

{4}   Thrift Store Crafting

Summer gives me more time to hunt the thrift stores for vintage plates and candle holders. With a little E6000 glue, and a few minutes, I have a special plate for someone special.  At Christmas time I load these with chocolate truffles from Whole Foods, add a few festive touches and wa-lah, I have a pretty gift for my parent volunteers. Here is a tutorial. 

{5}   School Pride

So proud of my school...We are healthy Stingrays!  Click here to find out why.

*******Have a sparkling 4th!*******
