Finally Friday
I am so glad it is finally warm enough to wear flip flops. I'm sure some people have already been doing this, but due to cool mornings and I can't stand to have cold feet, I have waited until this week. I am lucky enough to be able to wear them to work. I try not to wear any that make that terrible flapping sound because can get very annoying. I have gotten to show off my French pedicure that I got for Mother's Day.
This weekend I plan to finally get my garden planted. It is a very small garden but I love to have fresh vegetables. I would love to plant some tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, basil and rosemary. I'll let you know how I do.
I am going with my mom to Garden Ridge tomorrow. I love that store. Hopefully, I will find some great deals.
Have a great weekend!! Let me know if you have anything fun planned.

Recycling Greeting Cards
As I have posted previously, I love to send/receive cards. I have tons of cards that I have received and I have even saved every card my 18 month old daughter has received. I feel bad when I think that someone bought this card to send to me and all I'm going to do is read it and throw it away. I know, too funny. I have started recycling some of my cards and have thought of some very clever ideas.Things to Do with Greeting Cards You Have Received:
1) Gift Tags - Cut the picture out on the card, punch a hole, tie a ribbon to the tag and attach.
2) Pictures - I love cards with a beautiful picture and no writing on the front. Imagine putting the picture of Santa above in a frame. What a beautiful Christmas picture you will have.
3) Scrapbooking - Use to decorate pages.
4) Arts & Crafts for Kids - Make homemade cards, pictures, collage
5) Make Christmas Ornaments
6) Make Bookmarks
7) Use the front of the card as a note card.
Below is 2 pictures that I made from cards.
Cost 2 Cards - .50 each
Frames - 3.00 each - came with mat
Gold Spray Paint - 1.00 per can (painted the frames)
Total Cost - $8.00
