Conversation piece

Operation "Decorate Classroom" is officially underway! I went yesterday and found an old lamp that I thought would look marvelous spray painted.I also got the materials to have a file cabinet overhaul. Hopefully I will get to that tomorrow!

But for now, feast your eyes on project numero uno! ( I started out small just to get myself going. Don't judge!)

Poor little thing just wasn't very attractive. I didn't even realize it was supposed to look like a cactus until the cashier said something about my "cactus lamp." I instantly felt like an old lady with an addiction to southwestern decor. I quickly let him know that I would be spray painting it.

Little did I know that I would fall in love with the "Olive Bright" spray paint at Michael's... womp, womp. Maybe it looks even more like a cactus now. A very bright, festive cactus though! I honestly just thought it was a funky, cool lamp that I could buy for $3. I can hear the students now, "Have you met the new art teacher? The one with that kooky cactus lamp on her desk?" Hopefully they'll trow in there how awesome I am and how art is their all time favorite class. ( I can hope, right?!)

Project list so far:

Scrap paper holder

Desk

Lamp

Friday Funday

Even though I'm not working this summer and rarely know what day it is, I always seem to know when it's Friday. Maybe it's just that the world has a completely different buzz to it. Whatever it is, I love it! My favorite part about the weekend is getting two whole days to spend with Steven. During the week the evenings just seem to fly by and by Thursday I find myself thinking, "Have we even talked this week?" Of course we have, but it's in the midst of family dinners, thunder games, nights with friends, or nights where we just want to lay around and read.

I'm hoping for sunshine, easy breezy fun, good friends, and my love. So, here's to the weekend! Hooray!
