Summer!

Wow, it feels like just yesterday was my last day of school, but we are actually only 1 month away from returning back to school.  I work at a year around school, so 6 weeks really do go by really fast.  I have been really busy this past few weeks trying to find things to decorate my classroom.  I left with an idea in mind, I actually had already started putting up some things, but I should have know better.  After going through Pinterest and a trip to Mardel, I have changed my mind.  I am telling you people I need help!  I have so many projects I want to begin I don't even know where to start.  And of course in my head I am thinking this is my summer people I should be relaxing or catching up on everything I don't get to do throughout the year.  So what's on my to do list?  Well last year I began a theme of Owls, I really didn't take off with it, I wasn't really sure how to proceed.  I mean I saw so many different things that I wanted to do and really didn't have a chance.  It was my first year in First grade and I was more concerned with learning the curriculum than really keeping up with my decoration.  I kept it simple last year, green and white polka dots with black borders.  I incorporated some baby blues in there.  So this year I wanted to build on it and I had a vision in my head.  Before I left I covered my cabinet doors in colored paper and have it set so I can come in and add the border, but when I went to go buy the border it happened, I saw the cutest owls.  I am telling you people I try my best to stay away from Mardel once I have made up my mind.  I rarely visit once the school year begins, but like I said I was going in to get more border and BOOM! There it was the cutes owls border I have seen.  According to the sales lady they have had it a while.  I don't remember seeing it last year, so they must have gotten it during the school year.  I LOVED IT!  And to top it off I really don't need to change my colors a lot.  I am just adding a 3rd color to the scheme -- TURQUOISE! I mean who doesn't love some turquoise?  The best part of it I had already picked up some turquoise containers I found on a trip I made during the year to Dollar Tree.  (I am in deep people...my co-worker laughs because I have a container of containers)  I mean when you see it you must get it right?!  Right?! Help me out people I need some love here!  I am excited about getting my new vision up, but they are in the process of waxing our floors so I can't go into my room until beginning of next month.  That's alright the hubby is taking vacation that week so OH HUBBY... shhh don't break it to him yet! I will make sure to take pics and post I love beginning of the year pics everything looks so shiny and new. 





Here is the new theme.  Look at those OWLS!!! How cute are they!!
