Veterans Day Thank You and Freebies

Remembering all those who served!

Today is Veterans Day for all my American friends. I salute everyone who has or is currently serving in the military, with a special shout out to my dad and my sister!  It is generally recognized that there should be a brief cessation of work at 11:00 am on Veteran's Day to remember, I hope you find some time today to thank a veteran for all they have given.

You know how I love my quilling, so here is a quilled heart in the red, white, and blue....

Lots of items today I have a fun printable for you.  The picture is one that I took of our flag that hangs outside our home.  As you can see, I took the picture at night.  I did some playing with the picture, I am no expert by any means, but I wanted the night sky to be darker.  Then I took the photograph and added the words to the "Pledge of Allegiance" the original version :-)

Motivation Monday Try Approving of Yourself

Happy Motivation Monday!

 

The quote today is:  "You've been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens." - by Louise Hay

For me this quote is saying, give yourself a break.  So today, I am telling you that you are special! Give yourself a break and find everything that is good about YOU!!!! I know there are a million things that you do that should be applauded. Know that you are appreciated!

I am so very sorry.... I completely forgot to finish my post. So, as a special surprise you do not need to wait until Friday for this free printable!  Click on the image below to get your free printable, oh and there are two sizes of each, the smaller could be printed and used as a Project Life card!

Walkabout Wednesday Chalkboard Projects

Today is a fabulous Wednesday! School has officially started so I had the privilege of dropping off my son at school. With two college students, I know how precious little time I have left to do these things and I want to cherish each moment.

In honor of the start of school, I thought I'd share a few chalkboard projects with you today from around the internet.  They are all over the internet these days, and like you I really enjoy them.





and some non-school themed inspiration....







How about these Wedding themed ideas?







Have you done any projects like these? In this case, I am an observer. I love the way they look and wouldn't mind creating one for myself, but just haven't gotten around to it.  I'd love to see your projects if you've made any or love to hear what your favorite chalkboard project is, whether it be one I've shared here or in your "someday" pile.

I hope you have a wonderful day!
