Summer FUN Board!
by Wendy
It’s
that time of year, when the kiddos are finishing up the school year. I don’t know
about at your house, but it’s not all that long between
the time when school is finished and the words “I’m bored” are
uttered!
Last year I came up with an idea
of creating a board showing fun activities for us to do either as a family on
the weekends or during the week, while dad is working when boredom
strikes! It was successful last year, so
it’s a repeat for this summer.
To make the board, I picked up a
piece of homasote board from Lowes and covered it with burlap. My board measures 25 x 32. I then cut some pieces of natural twine and
attached them with eye screws to the board. My daughter and I sat down one
evening and had some fun coming up with activities to do over the summer. I typed up the activities and printed them on
some bright orange and yellow paper, then cut the papers into small squares and
hung them on the twine with those mini clothespins that you can pick up at any
craft store. I also used Silhouette
Cameo to cut out a big sunshine and the words Summer Fun for the board.
Over the summer, when we are out
and about enjoying the activity, I make sure I have my camera with me to get
some pics. I then print them out in a
wallet size so that I can hang them on the board. By the end of the summer, it is my hope that
we kept the boredom to a minimum and we have lots of pics on the board and
great memories!
Until next time. Wendy

books and cards and would spend my whole day scrapbooking, but I do need to
make time to take care of my family. You
know, those fun things like laundry, cleaning the house, etc.
Back in March, 2012, she
had the privilege of going to NYC as part of Martha Stewart’s Dreamers into
Doers to attend some workshops and the live taping of her show. She enjoyed meeting lots of wonderful
entrepreneurial women. What a great
experience it was!
