Summer vacation is like New Years around here. It is met with late nights, much rejoicing and lists of resolutions.
I started this summer by recycling an envelope into my
"Summer To Do" list.

I have a list of all the pre-paid, pre-planned activities

I've arranged for the summer:

Piano Lessons and lots of practicing

Volleyball camp

Art camp

Batik class

Dye class

Free Motion Quilting class

Brindy's Wedding
(wow, more of those are for me than the kids, that is a switch)

A List of dated activities I would really like to take advantage of:
Lavendar Days
Arts Festival
Urban Gallery Garage Door painting

Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House
Farmers Market

And finally the longest list -

things I would like to accomplish this summer:
Visit Renea (and maybe the beach while we are there)
Go strawberry picking
Make strawberry jam

Eat out of the garden

Weed the garden (gag)
Clear off the back patio so we can do lots of crafts outside
Hang the kids art in the hall
Quilt, quilt and quilt

Sew for Whimsy
Do more Sun painting
Go through boxes in the closet
Start an art journal
Hike in Millcreek Canyon
Go swimming

Go on a picnic

Walk to the library
Visit some of the museums downtown
and so on and so forth. . . this list goes on and on.

So here we are two days into summer vacation

and I can already check something off my list!!!

Here are the frames I bought a year or two ago

along with some of the artwork my "babies" have made over the past year.

These beauties have been collecting dust on the fridge or in a box but now. . .
they are all up on the wall in the hallway.

Aren't they beautiful.
Now if it will stop raining
we might feel motivated to accomplish a few more things on our list.
