I did It and more!



Do you remember the summer goals that I set for myself for the last 8 days of summer? I actually accomplished them and I am so excited that I did. I don't have any pictures of the freezer, or what Josh and I did together, but I do have pictures of everything else. I'm so proud of myself! I think that making those goals made me ready and okay with going back to school. Well, here they are!
The first pictures I'm posting are of the blocks that I made for Josh's family. I'm so excited to give them away! I think that they turned out great! I made 8 sets, with 4 holidays, 3 blocks a holiday. Have you done the math yet? I have, that is around 96 blocks total! I even cut most of the blocks by myself... totally awesome!

The next pictures are of the completed Christmas stockings. I thought that it wouldn't be weird writing mom and dad on them. I was wrong! I still think that they turned out really cute!

Next we have my scrapbook desk. It was a mess, as you can see!

 Next we have my alphabet blocks. I made two sets... one for my future kids and the other for a present. Don't worry, I have no idea who will get the awesome present from me. I will admit, I still have to put on the modge podge to make sure the letters stay on, but they are close to being completed!
The backside has the lower case of each letter!

Last we have my hall passes for school. I love the way they turned out! I am going to cover these with clear contact paper, which I am planning on getting from my mom's. Then they are ready to me amused and admired by others!
I have three, an office, hall, and bathroom. Don't you find the numbers appropriate?
And my puppy being patient while I completely ignore him. 
Okay, so I decided that I am going to have a few goals that I do everyday throughout the school year. I'm lazy a lot of the time so I hope that posting goals on my blog will help me to accomplish them. Here are a few;
  • do the dishes everday
  • wipe the island off everyday (I am a messy cook)
  • do 2 strands on my cross stitch everyday
  • make the bed everyday
  • pilates at least on every school day
I might be adding more but these are just a few! I hope you enjoyed my pictures! I know that I enjoyed completing my goals. Now I just have to make it through the school year! (At least we made AYP this last school year!)
