Congrats graduates...fun idea!

Can you believe it is already time for this year's graduates to graduate?
Seems like this spring has went really fast.
Are you needing an idea on how to decorate for the big Graduation party?
For this easy project...I used a few supplies...
A Deflecto wet erase board in the stand....
Deflecto's cool and bright markers for chalk boards.
Party streamers 
and tape or glue.  
This is how the sign looks undecorated. 
It is double sided....it looks the same on the back as it does on the front.
I am a big fan of party streamers...
they are sooo inexpensive and easy to get in any color.
I cut a 4 inch piece....then cut three slits longways in the strip. 
I put many colors together and did the same thing to all of them.
You can make this much thicker by adding many more strips.

I just rolled up the non cut end. Glue or tape to secure.
I scrunched up the party streamer ends with my fingers...lightly. 
These markers are so bright and much nicer than colored chalk...
they erase easily with water and paper towel. 
I wrote my message and added the pom pom's to the sign.
Choose your school colors! 
The sign is great all year round....for whatever you want to use it for.
Here I wrote a to-do list.
I can see me using it for funny messages to my daughter....
personalizing it for birthdays....
changing it for all the holidays....
welcoming guests to the party...
Etc...

Next year my daughter will be the graduate....her colors are orange and black....
wow time flies!


Come to Thrifty Thursday!  Come to the Pin me Linky Party!!  Come to the Party Bunch!

I have a dream...

I hope everyone had a fab MLK day.....and weekend!
This is my freebie design...that I altered a little to make it retro.
We had a lot of fun with one of my sisters coming to town and all.
I feel like I was going and going and going....so I am a bit tired.

 I really really want spring to come...the sun did shine today and it felt great.
My quilt above always makes me feel "sunny".  
I welcome the sunshine into my office with open arms.

I saw this awesome vintage cross stitch design while at an antique store this weekend.
I would love to make my own version....gotta get sketching.
We saw "Into the woods"...pretty good.
I just love Meryl.....she is a great actress and singer!
I had to tell my sisters to shut up their big yappers...lol...they talk too loud!
We shopped, played games, talked about everything under the sun, went to the casino, watched tv.....went out to eat.....just had a really good time.

But I love my quiet cottage and my little family the best!
