A first grader is officially in the house! We made it through kindergarten. After her graduation we put her to bed crying because she wanted to stay in Kindergarten and be with her teacher. I don’t know if she fully realizes that she won’t go to school all summer and when she goes back she’ll have a new teacher and classroom. Hopefully we will be able to gear her up for first grade and she will be as excited to start as she was for Kindergarten.

Over the last week or so we’ve been getting all our end of the year gifts in order which took a lot longer than expected and tried to work them all in between deadlines. Here’s just a few things we did to complete the school year:

We have a lot of fun summer things planned like teaching the the Woog to sew, tie-dye, etc. and we’re bringing Woogie Wednesdays back in full force so be on the lookout for that. For me, I’ll be using my summertime to work on a few projects that have been on my list to start and complete for some time now. They’re going to be good, I promise

I finally was able to switch my blog over to WordPress so I can post again but my comments didn’t transfer over like I wanted so I’m having to go back and manually copy each of the several hundred comments over so that might take a while!

I’ve been in the process since Easter of redecorating and reorganizing my studio. I’m not done yet (deadlines, life & motivation have been in the way) but hopefully I’ll get it all painted and pretty in the next few weeks. I’ll post a full tour when it’s all up to snuff.
