Project Time!

My favorite thing to do right now is read other websites and blogs on home organization and crafts. It's really funny because half of the time I can not possibly even begin to imagine how to start one of these projects that I read about because I do not have the time or resources. But I found one a few weeks ago on Tuesdays with Molly that I thought would be a perfect small project and would be really cute....

Before: I have been hanging alot of Kyle's artwork from school on the metal door leading into the garage with magnets and clips. To me this has always looked messy, but Kyle is so proud of the pictures he has colored and made I feel like I have to display them.



When I found this sign/project holder idea I definetely wanted to try it! Instead of using wood I used foam board for the base. I used scrapbooking paper that I already had and a ribbon that came on a birthday present that was so cute that I could not bear to part with it. I did buy the chip board letters and the clips at Michael's (total of about $8).

And here is the finished project....



I am really proud of the way it turned out! I hung it back on the metal door with those On Command hooks so I had no holes and then put up Kyle's most recent art work. I thought that it might be fun to change it out weekly as he makes new things.

Kyle and the Pretty Girl



On Saturday night, Kyle and I went to the Miss East Georgia College pageant. Kyle had a great time! He would clap for everyone, he danced with the music and when the girls would leave the stage he would announce "All Done!" to everyone around us.

The highlight of the night was after the pageant was over Kyle got to go up on stage to see his MeMe (Vicki). After seeing everyone on the stage he got to get his picture taken with the new Miss East Georgia College! Kyle is so proud and excited about this picture! I printed a copy out for him and he has carried it around most of the day. When you ask Kyle who is in the picture he immediately gets a big smile on his face and says "Kyle and Pretty Girl!"

Congratulations Miss Whitney on becoming the new Miss East Georgia College! We will be cheering you on all the way to Miss Georgia! And thank you for making your "little buddy's" night!

MeMe - Great Job!!! The pageant was wonderful and everyone could tell you put ALOT of time and energy into it! I am so glad we got to come and be a part of it!
