Friday Ramblings

I'm so happy it's Friday.

I have computer work to do, but first I have to do something fun.

It's also a make a second pot of decaf-light my Anthropologie candle-listen to Zac Brown Band-make your day really fun- kinda day.

(I blame the computer work.)

I saw a cute-as-pie banner made with Washi tape in a paper store this weekend and I thought I'd try it myself.

I bought my tape at Happy Tape; a perfect name 'cause this stuff does just that. It make me happy.

(The black and white I bought at Target)

Plus, it's one of those days that it's so gorgeous it hurts.

How do teachers keep going after Christmas until Spring Break?

I think I'd plan a field trip a week during this time. And hold all my classes outside.

Back to the Banner.

 I rolled out my tape onto a cutting mat so I could make even cuts every two inches with a razor.

Then I pulled a string out of some burlap, ironed it out with my flat iron because I'm too lazy to drag out my iron for a piece of string and wrapped each 2 inch piece around the string.

Next, fold the tape and cut up from the end to make a notch.

Hang somewhere cute.

Then go outside, cross your fingers and hope that ground hog named Phil doesn't see his shadow.

Aw, heck. 

Let's really enjoy the day...

Buy some candy hearts and leave some by your family's plates tonight at dinner.

You could even cut paper hearts out and decorate them with Washi tape.

But make sure you keep the extras from that box of candy hearts in your car. 

It does wonders for the day.
