is it too late...

 to make my summer to-do list?

August 1

 2/3 over

or

 1/3 left?

31 days remaining of  my summer vacation

I didn't make my list

in  June because I was preparing for the sale

or 

in July because I was recovering  from the sale.

But it's been here

swirling in my mind

I am writing  it down

so 

I can choose what is most important to me

and

to see what I get done by the end of the month.

• Re-decorate  my girl young-in's bedroom…it's time to make it her space… here’s a peek at what we are starting with

• make pillows with said girl...for said bedroom

• order wallpaper for dining room redo…coming next fall

• plan and do something  extra-special  with my Mr.

• paint my back door...I have  some ideas…I can’t wait

• read a book, or 2 or 3…this is what's on the nightstand

• decorate my newly painted porches (soon they will be  newly painted) this is  what I am most excited about with the new paint job

• put together a gallery wall for all of these  family photos taken last fall

• eat dinner on the patio and have  tea on the porch

• spend a day with my bestie

• garden...I've missed it...my girl and I have been spending time together weeding, deadheading roses, and I’m likin’ it…

• paint a few furniture pieces for me...my stuff is always last

• clean my kitchen and then

• add some farmhouse details ...and of course, blog about it

• organize my outside inventory storage spaces

• get back on the de-clutter train…speaking of organizing...remember this?...I need to get back on track...to get rid of 5 things per day is my goal…this may be a lifelong project

• host an event ...it will help us to keep going and get the  house finished ...we love need deadlines... 

• go shopping with my girl(s)

• learn more about my camera/photography

• Keep working on my craft room/studio…one of the days years I will get to join the where women create party…which also  means we will get to  eat at the dining room table again

• Sort through my homeschooling curriculum…this one’s going to be hard, girls

• Have a fun day/evening with my grandbabies

• Wash the outside of the windows…to match the new brand-spankin’ clean paint

• Reserve the right to throw the list out the window if the  Lord brings something else or I get a better offer. 

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord...colossians 3:23
