I feel like I have been a real slacker lately in blogging! I suppose it is that time of year.
My boys have less than a week of school.
I have not much planned in terms of camps or activities.
Now that they are getting older we just sort of wing it. We do have a vaca planned for two weeks.
I keep them busy, with movies, swimming, local theme park, etc.
We have fun!
What more can I do? I really do not consider myself the entertainment committee. However, they seem to think so:)
How about you,what do you do with children over summer break?
Now onto my actual post.
Love my newbie party!
Some awesome features this week...
This project totally reminded me of something I would come up with and that I love!
is a Studio Artist and a Designer, so she definitely has it all over me. Love this chair~
used some of my favorite things in this projects:
Chalk paint
and Mod Podge
Then this lovely bench transformed by
Debbie, just really swooned me!
And we can't forget the cooks in the kitchen....although, this required no cooking.
Beautiful!
Thank you all for participating, and supporting the party.
Each week I meet new bloggers, and the other become old bloggers..
that is because they have participated in my party and have now reached the guidelines. Most are happy about that! In the meantime, they still get to come over and meet you newbies.
Have a great day.
Hop on over and say Hi to these newbs!
Feel free to grab my blab button.

Ooo great projects! I get to hang with our son all Summer and soooo looking forward to it! He's in kindergarten and I missed him so much when he was in school. We go to the beach lots and go for little hikes all the time - I know it's going to go so fast too. Enjoy it!
There are some really talented ladies out there, Debbie! Thanks for featuring them. Thought I'd stop by for a visit before the mad rush of the next few days. Think I'll collapse on Sunday! Hope you have a great weekend!
Great features! Our summers always pass in a blur. Typically WD's travel lacrosse team has us crisscrossing the northeast for much of the summer. Philly, Buffalo, Maryland, Lake Placid, etc. Gaps are filled in with camps & club league. This year he hopes to hit a couple of wrestling tournaments as well as the Bloomsburg U wrestling camp. 9 days in August are devoted to volunteering for the Tennis Challenger Tournament, and that brings us back into the new school year. Winging it sounds good to me.
What great projects! I especially love that chair!

Hey Deb,
I am here, reading, savoring, enjoying, posting, and trying to get through the busiest month of our year....MAY!!! Phew...almost there! In June, I shall rest.
Hugs,
Kris
Everytime I see amazing projects done by others here, I feel like I am a slacker myself. Enjoy your vacation!...Christine
Those are some great projects! I have a white wood tray I want to darken...maybe I should try this chalk paint..or just some brush strokes with a darker color..either way seeing these inspire me!
We travel a lot to visit family during the summer and then it is mostly swimming! We visit some museums here and plantations. I always say I am going to do "lessons" and wonderful crafts, but that never seems to happen! Oh well, we hang out and just enjoy each other!
Those are some great projects and look like things you would make!! That chair is right up your alley!
You are not a slacker - don't know how you find time to do as much as you do. Mine are dealing with their own children now. :D
Have a fun and safe weekend.
Great features Deb,I really like these also.I mind is reelin',the light came on!..I wish I had some stencils I would copy-cat the chair,I love that!
Vacation planning is a real chore on Loblolly it's just me and Mr,but since he hasn't retired,it's almost impossoble for him to pin-point days when he can get off work,but Hey that doesn't keep me from thinking of someplace fun to visit,I'm leaning towards the Keys.
Come see me,I made a delish wildblackberry treat from the berry pickin',Hey there's a thought you could always take the boys berrypickin',teehehehehe.

Wow, if you're a slacker I can't imagine what I must be! I love all your featured bloggers crafts, so many talented women out there:)
I was a single mom for most of the boys high school years so if they went somewhere it was usually with their dad. Otherwise they just slept in and made a nice mess for me to come home to (I was working fulltime). Christian will be a senior next year, he'll just fart around most likely all summer but he prefers to be at his dad's b/c his GF is close by...and it's all about the girls right now!!! We will have lots of BBQ's tho and we have a community pool too:)
I have no new ideas other than what you've said for summer vacation. I just need some energy. Any tips for that? I've also been a blogger slacker. Seems May is busier than Dec. Happy Summer!
I get so many ideas...and not enough time to do them all! Too much fun living life to the fullest! ♥♥♥
Just LOVE the bench!
Thanks for the feature! I love the Newbie Party. Your readers are always so encouraging!
I click on the links Debbie but they don't link up to the project or recipe that is pictured! Help....what's wrong, or is it me?
You are not a slacker to me. I find it amazing that you post as often as you do. Comment at the G.B. almost everytime. It's true, you are amazing. Oh, and by the way, yes, this is "TOTALLY" you.
Those were some fantastic makeovers Debbie!! My chalk paint came the other day so you know what I've been doing!! Have a great weekend, Martina
Oh I so miss having the kids at home to plan a summer with...we had a summer trip in the mountains where we stayed in a tent and fished at icycle creek every year...still love that name...miss my babies, you are lucky and what's cool you know it!
Great projects...thanks for sharing and I need to get around to posting some of mine and join in the fun.
All were great
Love these projects...especially the chair. Such a pretty color!!
Great Features!! Love it!
I do the same for summer...and they wear me out! LOL
This month has been slow too...

Whytney's tray is sooooo pretty. Thanks for posting these inspiring projects, Debbie!
