What I've been doing

I know you were all wondering what in the world I have been doing since school got out and I've only posted a couple of times...and well, I've been thinking the same thing. Then my friend Carolyn over at foolishnotions posted about this and it made so much since to me.
In my heart of hearts I love to be creative. I come up with a million and one ideas. The implementation of those ideas is a little more challenging. I think that is why I love teaching. I come up with awesome, creative lesson plans and then I have a teacher's assistant to help make sure I implement those lesson plans. So now that school is out, I have to find something to challenge my creativity and it usually becomes my house. So here's what I've been up to the last 3 weeks.
Week 1 - Volunteered at the church (played office turnover). At least I think that's what they called it. Went to the beach, and went on vacation.
Week 2 - Worked at school with my friend Debbie Saperstein on stuff for next year. I did at least get paid for part of that time.
Week 3 - Decided my room looked unfinished but realized I really had no money (since I have no income in the summer) to fix it up...thus creative challenge. So here is where my week has been.




First I cleaned out the closet, added 2 hanging shelves and then a whole set of other shelves to better utilize the space. I still haven't finished - I intend to organize my clothes by color after I finish going through them all. That led into cleaning out and reorganizing the entire bathroom, then I went on to rearrange the bedroom, come up with an ultimate furniture placement plan (when I can afford it of course) and add some paint to the walls.
I have also cleaned out and reorganized the pantry, the kitchen cabinets and the laundry room. Never mind the laundry is piled up to the ceiling (it doesn't do anything for my creative juices). So that's what I've been doing, what about you.
