Schools Out for Summer!

Yes, it's finally here. The school cafeteria closes after today and I'm free as a bird for the next 2 1/2 months:>) I spent last night baking cupcakes with lemon buttercream frosting for a co-workers birthday, (she loves all things tropical) and a quick run to the dollar store turned up flamingo straws and little umbrellas to liven them up.
So...after today, more time for paint, fabric, estate sales and gardening:>) More time for blogging too, yay! I'll see you soon!

The cupcakes sound wonderful. I love lemnon cake and frosting. They look so cute too. She is a lucky co-worker! Can't wait to see all the things you come up with during your break.

So very "Kathy" -- to do something so sweet for a co-worker (she'll be delighted) and then to find the perfect decorations that make these special for this woman. Aren't people blessed to know you!?

Enjoy your last day and your dreams of all that summer will hold for you!

Hi Kathy. I know what you mean. I was so thrilled to be done with school this year. I'm enjoying the rest.

Thank you for your kindness last week when I was falling part. It helps having friends that understand this complex thing. (hugs)
