Bye Bye July

Every night since Andy left I have marked off a day from this photo calendar. It's coming close to the day that there won't be any days left to mark off. :) What's funny is I remember looking through the months when I first got the calendar and thinking, "Will we ever get to the end?" Low and behold...this will be a great month! Tonight I got to turn the page to August! AND I turn 30 this month!!!



I've been being crafty...these days are moving rather slow so I'm trying to stay busy and not think about time. A neighbor gave us a coat hanger that her boys have used for probably 20 years, so I had an idea to make it a little more girly. A fresh coat of paint and some wooden pieces from Michaels...about $3.00 and here we go, a new coat hanger! Kinsey is so excited about having somewhere to hang her hoodie. :) She has claimed the pink hook.



I made this as a gift for our neighbor whose party we went to today. Sidney has everything a child could want/need and since I didn't know what else to get her, I made her gift. It was actually nice to use my thoughts towards something else.



Happy August everyone!

Happy August!! I love the things that you have made. I'm not at all crafty, but love to look at other's creations.

Happy Birthday and hope your month is amazing.

I love both of those projects!! How fun, remember when we used to be crafty all the time :)...those were the days! BUT then again we didn't have any of precious adorable children...so maybe those days weren't that great ;)

YAY for August...come home Andy!

I love that you are having some "CREATIVE" distractions from watching the calendar! I was just thinking about where I could put one of those cute letters at my house. Love you, MOM
