Happy day . . . .

Did you know that today is officially (I'm not quite sure, however, who the official is) 'Act Happy Day'? But it is a great sentiment. . . so I thought I'd announce it here so that you can Act Happy. Don't put any pressure on yourself to actually be or feel happy though, because it is only 'act' happy day. . .being happy might actually be too much work lol! (who comes up with these things?)

Item 5: This really isn’t a whiteboard.. . . . I’m just pretending that it is :). It's an 11x13 frame ($3) with patterned paper behind the glass. Just write on the glass with a dry erase marker and walla--a super cheap whiteboard! If you want to make one of these for yourself, make sure that you use a very subtle pattern on your paper or you won’t be able to read the writing. It just so happened that the paper that worked the best for me had handwriting lines on it—ah, takes me back to my teaching days :). At this juncture, I’m planning on changing the quote monthly and also using it for special messages like for birthdays and accomplishments etc.

Item 6: This is just a space filler. . . had this frame on hand; the knob was $2.97. I thought it turned out kinda cute. I put a piece of heavy chipboard/matte board behind the paper, punched a hole then attached the knob, hung a chain with a word on it. Super easy—only took me about 15 minutes! Btw, you can click on all of these pictures to get a closer look.

Tomorrow is the last day of this and then I've got something fun with prizes and such coming up next weekish so you'll want to check back. (Tom is going to tease me unmercifully for this comment, but I think I can take it :).
