Thank you for LONG weekends:)

Well ladies and gents Memorial Day weekend is upon is.. well for those who are working you have oh about 7ish hours left until you are OFFICIALLY free but I:) am off work today!

Luke and I are heading to Dallas today to do a little shopping and who knows maybe a pedi for me:) I think I deserve it! Then off to Chels' to spend that night with my lovely sista and then bright and early Saturday we are off to the great city of Nashville to visit Luke's family and celebrate his sister Abby's high school graduation. I must say that I am VERY THRILLED to get this break because after we return to Texas next week there is Chels' bachelorette party next weekend and then it's off to the MCC Child Development center for this one all summer unfortunately... So my short break to Tennessee is greatly welcomed! There will DEFINITELY be a visit to the Pancake Pantry for me, this place has the is the best breakfast ever in Nashville and I'm hoping to do some other fun things while we are there..catch some music of course and see some old friends..who know what else:)

Hope you have a safe, fun, AND relaxing LOOOONNNGGG weekend whatever you may be doing:)

~Peace......

Tim Hughes song

"God Of Justice"

God of Justice, Saviour to all
Came to rescue the weak and the poor
Chose to serve and not be served

Jesus, You have called us
Freely we've received
Now freely we will give

We must go live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken
We must go
Stepping forward keep us from just singing
Move us into action
We must go

To act justly everyday
Loving mercy in everyway
Walking humbly before You God

You have shown us, what You require
Freely we've received
Now freely we will give


Fill us up and send us out
Fill us up and send us out
Fill us up and send us out Lord

Fun ideas!

These are both FABULOUS ideas in my opinion and they seem sooo very easy to do.. I love them but would probably chose different colors then she did but nonetheless great tips.. check out her blog!

#1
Wall Hangings

All you'll need is 3 coordinating fabrics, some hot glue, and 3 artist's canvasses. The canvasses I got are 11x13 inches and I got 1/2 yard of each color of fabric.

Now, simply lay your fabric over your canvas. Fold the fabric over and around the sides, making sure to keep the fabric smooth and tight. Apply plenty of glue to the back but don't worry what the back looks like.......no one will ever see it. But don't apply glue to the front or sides, the glue will make the fabric appear bumpy and messy

.

Final product!

Great option for jazzing up your plan 'ole average whiteboard:)

All I did was hot glue some fabric around the inside mat of a 14 x 18 inch frame, put the glass back in, set the fabric covered mat back inside the frame, return the back section to its spot, and then hang.







**You are actually writing on the glass that you put back in the frame. It wipes off just the same as a dry erase board. So nice.
