Foto Friday

So, this weekend, I have many big plans!  I plan to craft, organize, and bake.  Instead of just telling you about my project plans, I decided to show you my photo inspiration.

Step 1: CRAFT

Wooden plaque with hooks

Sort of my inspiration

I have REALLY been wanting to get a place to hang my keys near our door.  I am going to buy a 16″ x 4″ routered plaque.  I am going to paint it to golden yellow.  I am going to stencil a cute pattern in metallic gold.  I am going to paint the routered border black and I am going to write our name “Fine” in black script on the plaque.  I found cheap black hooks at Lowe’s, and all in all it should only cost 7 bucks.  Sound good?  I hope it turns out good, too.  If it does, expect photos soon.

Step 2: ORGANIZE

Utility Closet Organization

Utility Closet--Organized!

My utility closet is already pretty organized with hooks for my broom and mop, but I want more.  I hate having to look for a hammer, tape measure, flashlight, etc.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: BAKE

Oatmeal Chip Cookies

Allrecipes.com 5-star rated Oatmeal chip cookies.  My good friend L and I are getting together Sunday to bake cookies.  We each are bringing a recipe.  I’ll let you know how mine and L’s recipe turn out.  Mmmm….

 

A Fine Gal… someday

I am a gal, teacher, daughter, and wife, but I am certainly not fine at it yet.  I would like to be fabulous at my life and all the different roles I fill, but as most of you know, that is a classic example of “easier said than done.”  That being said, I still keep trying to be a better teacher, better daughter, better wife, better follower of Christ… just better.  The way I see it if I get a little better each year, maybe by the time my life is said and done I will have turned out okay in the end.

Because my husband and I recently moved and my new job as a teacher allows me more time at home, I mostly have cooking, crafting, and decorating on the mind.  I am pretty obsessed with pinterest right now, too, so I will probably split my internet time between here and there.
