productivity

one of the most exciting things about finishing school is that i now have (a bit) more time to check off items from my to do list (which has been accumulating for the past year or so). in addition, i've been inspired by all of the thrifting and crafting blogs that i've stumbled upon on the web (you may have noticed some new links along my sidebar). i'm so excited to share what i've been up to!

first i went thrifting with my mom. i was pleased to purchase this white glass vase/urn to display a plant, a vintage coffee mug (i was jealous of little birds handmade), and of course some books for my classroom (i can't resist).

(sorry for the crappy photos.)

i've also had some time to scrapbook. as you can see in the photos, the pages are still missing titles and journaling, but it's still progress! i'm hoping to finish this scrapbook of our adventures while dating before the wedding so i can share it with our guests. (top to bottom: portland rose garden, oxbow regional park, guster concert in seattle and our baptism at rooster rock.)

then yesterday i went thrifting again, this time with frank. i snatched up six books (for a friend, my classroom, and myself), two tins, two binders, and a game of scrabble. goodwill is the best place to buy books and games -- cheap and barely used!
