Ahhh what a weekend!!

Like we have said in the past....sleep is WAY over-rated!  My sister and I spent the weekend at our lakeside cottage studio and although not a lot of sleep was happening, our creative side was doing its thing!!  When the ideas came to a screeching halt, we sat with our coffee and watched "Lorene", our momma duck bring her 11 babies out for their first swim!  She even allowed them to come up on our beach for a quick rest before heading out on more adventures!!  we thought raising our families was hard work, we have much more respect for Lorene now, after watching her with her 11.

We were able to get so much done....like completed 25 chalk boards & bulletin boards!  Here are few for you too take a peek at and see what we have been up to:

A chalk board with a vase of flowers...a cute starfish charm....12 1/4 X 15 inches, made from re-purposed Rustic Pecan.

Is this adorable or what?!?  Perfect gift for your favorite teacher of any kind!!  Or, what about sending it with your favorite grad for their dorm?!? Re-purposed Maple
