contemplation

I have gone over and over in my mind for months, maybe even years, about having a blog that featured anything but pictures of my family. I didn't want to post with wrong motives. I like to look at other's blogs and observe their creativity and would absolutely hate it if one of my dear friends didn't post every little thing 'cause I would miss way too much of her life.
So I finally decided to post some things that I have been up to and jump into the blogging world.

here goes::

I love to create things I need. I call myself a functional sewer. I am not a huge fan of patterns, I usually just make it and then use it.
I absolutely LOVE colorful things {paper, fabric, pens, ribbon, pictures, the list goes on}, maybe that's why I majored in Graphic Design and had a ton of fun!

My plan:: Share my makings, my thoughts and some everyday life.
{enjoy}

post #3 :: multi...

I love, love, love to multitask
I also love multiuse

so in an effort to make one decoration for our St. Patrick's Day party
involve my kids
have it match my kitchen
and count down to our Legoland trip
{Legoland is discounted for homeschoolers}

we made this paper chain...

it's made from some cute scrap booking papers that have super cute patterns
every other strip was decorated by my kids, husband and myself {family time}
it has the number of rings to match how many days 'til we leave for our trip {so we don't have to count everyday 'cause they're excited}
it's green, which I LOVE, and we made it the day before our party
check, check, check

{multiuse}


our paper chain hangs in front of the bookshelf my grandpa made me for my high school graduation which now holds most of our homeschool materials

I am dying to paint it and maybe add some molding and detail to the doors
 so stay tuned

**side note :: one of my favorite multitask/multiuse things is when I have the dishwasher and laundry going while I am doing two or three other things...
