text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's been a while since I blogged last.....things have been very busy. Between teaching, being a mom, my husband's health issues and running my Etsy shop, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/KaminskisCreations?ref=seller-platform-mcnav">Kaminski's Creations</a>, I never seem to find the time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So with the start of a new year, I'll start off with my word of the year......purpose.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you haven't heard of the movement called One Little Word, let me introduce you.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It started with <a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/one-little-word">Ali Edwards</a>. Basically, it's a year long project where you pick one word you'd like to focus on for the year. Through her workshop, you are given prompts to explore your word. I did it previously <a href="http://kaminskiscreations.blogspot.com/2012/01/present.html">here.</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This year I chose the word purpose, because I feel like sometimes, I'm living my life on auto-pilot just to get through the days and am not really achieving much of a purpose (or not fulfilling mine).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Unfortunately, we are one of those families whose last name starts with K. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I'm always envious when I see a family letter wall.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Group too many K's together. Bad! Really bad. So I decided to make this freestanding K to present our family. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">My challenges...the letter K obviously. Materials....what I had on hand. This was part of my Christmas crafting challenge where I tried to use materials I'd had forever. This is what I came up with.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you haven't heard of the movement called One Little Word, let me introduce you.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It started with <a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/one-little-word">Ali Edwards</a>. Basically, it's a year long project where you pick one word you'd like to focus on for the year. Through her workshop, you are given prompts to explore your word. I did it previously <a href="http://kaminskiscreations.blogspot.com/2012/01/present.html">here.</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year I chose the word aware, because I would like to be more focused on my family and the things that matter. Last time I created a journal to log my explorations. So I decided, why not another journal?</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's made out of red burlap, a straw wreath (I recommend using foam instead) and greening pins (I recommend using just regular boutonniere pins....see tutorial I followed below).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The red and blue really go great with our mantel color story.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had a different tutorial I was using when I purchased my supplies. Then I stumbled upon this tutorial and wish I'd found it first. It has really great step by step photos. So great, I didn't even bother taking step by step pics of my own. Just go check out her tutorial!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It all started with this red burlap that I purchased on-line about 5-6 years ago (about 1 yard). I knew I wanted to do something Christmasy with it but didn't know what. Our wreath got damaged last year so I tossed it, so our mantel needed one desperately.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The straw wreath was 12 inches and really hard to stick those greening pins into, especially after a few overlapping layers of burlap.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It took me about an hour from start to finish but I used a rotary cutter like she did to cut my squares. If I was cutting them all individually, I could see how it would take longer.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For my bow, I wanted the contrast of the shimmery blue against the rough, red burlap. It had wire edging, so even though I've never tied a bow in my life, it was pretty easy. Here's a good bow tutorial for bow tying over at <a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/make-a-bow-martha-stewart-avery-coupon/">Skip to my Lou</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was determined to use what I had on hand, #1 because I didn't want to get out in the sub Arctic temperatures, #2 my daughter is sick and I didn't want to be away from her for too long (me in a craft store can take a while, and #3, it's more of a challenge.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I could have hand lettered the words Merry Mail or used vinyl letters but I wanted this to be quick (I have more crafts to do after all),so I'm going to show you a little trick I use in my art room to transfer your practice to the real paper. It's called chalk or graphite transfer. Any type of chalk or graphite will work. I wouldn't use anything waxy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First, I printed Merry Mail on my inkjet printer in one of my favorite fonts, Pea Ellie Bellie (a free one).</span></div>

Well....that didn't happen. I kept procrastinating. And now I've missed the Christmas shopping season. I had so much fun picking out the fabrics but when it came to actually sitting down to sew, I was just not motivated. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, I decided to put it all away, take a break from these projects for my shop and refocus on crafting and artsy fartsy-ing for fun. <u>For my own creative sanity</u>. I realized that about 5 years ago, when I started my shop, all my creative focus has been on my Etsy shop and not on creating art for fun.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">About 6 or 7 years ago, when I started crafting, I started going on line and getting really good deals at scrapbook shops on supplies......some I've never even used (like this Cricut cartridge).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When it came time to clean the glass bowls from the nail polish, it was a pain. And not to mention the excess nail polish in the sink. I used nail polish remover to get rid of it, but it was still a pain. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BIG mistake. The nail polish sank to the bottom and ate through the bowl and the water started leaking everywhere, along with the nail polish.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They turned out pretty cute but a little clumpy. I'm wondering if it's because we used nail polish that we already had and who knows how old they are? If I were to do this again, I'd use new nail polish and try cheap metal baking trays (the disposable kind).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I also don't know how they are going to do when I wash them by hand...definitely not putting them in the dishwasher.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chores....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is something I've been meaning to address with my daughter for a while. But life gets busy, parents get tired and in the end taking the easy way out and doing it myself was just, well, easier. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But then I ran across </span><a href="http://www.intellectualtakeout.org/blog/chores-canary-coal-mine-kids-character"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">this article</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> on Facebook. I asked for input from my friends on what they have their kids doing for chores. And to my surprise, kids that are younger than Sophia are doing way more than I could ever dream for Sophia to do.</span></div>

Time for a change. No excuses. Time for this mom to be consistent.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted to keep it simple. So I started with 2 black labels and 2 buckets. One bucket for daily chores (to be done everyday). One for weekly chores (to be done once a week). The weekly ones can be done at any time during the week.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I added the popsicle sticks with the chores. Our daily ones are: feed the cats, feed the dogs, scoop the cat litter, pick up your room, and pick out clothes for the next day (this last one is more for during the school year). Our weekly ones are: vacuum the living room, sweep the kitchen, mop the kitchen (I might take this one out of the jar...might be a little unrealistic), fold laundry, put away laundry, dust living room, and load dishwasher. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The only difference is that I didn't put screen time minutes on the sticks like my inspiration. I feel like these are things that should be expected to contribute to the family.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After talking to Sophia about it and explaining the concept, she asked if she could get paid to scoop the litter and feed the cats "because it's really gross". So I decided she could get $1 a week for doing 3 of the chores all week long, everyday: scooping the cat litter, feeding the cats and keeping her room clean (she is the messiest little girl). So that would a total of $3 a week if she does those all week. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So we'll see how this new system works. I think the biggest factor will be the consistency part. Wish me luck!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's summer time! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And you know what that means....plenty of time to do the things I neglect to do during the school year. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The life of a teacher can be pretty hectic during the school year but the summer gives me time to create, read and spend time with my family.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This summer I'll be doing a lot of reading. Some for fun, some for information.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My daughter,Sophia, and I joined the Hurst Summer Reading program and are logging our hours for book bucks. Here's their <a href="http://38.106.5.87/index.aspx?page=66">website</a>.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Sophia and I visited the Girl Scout store in Southlake and picked up some books to help guide us independently to earn badges over the summer. It gives you activity choices, things to discuss and take action on. In each package, they come with 4-5 different badge activities and they were only $4 for the package. Here's their <a href="http://www.girlscoutshop.com/COUNCIL-OWN-MERCHANDISE/TEXAS-OKLAHOMA-PLAINS-COUNCIL">on-line store</a>. Tomorrow we'll begin working on her painting badge by going to an art museum.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We've been in our house since 2001. So we are currently in the process of re-doing and upgrading. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Our master bathroom was our first project in our home. I painted it this goldish, Dejon mustard color back in 2002 (I actually painted it twice. The first time I painted it, it was too yellow, so I repainted it the same weekend with a darker shade). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I paired rich cranberry towels and a gingham patterned curtain (from leftovers from the kitchen curtains). I had used jewel tones throughout the house.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There I am in my pj's....don't judge. If I'm home, I'm in comfy clothes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I know people say the quickest and cheapest way to change a room is through paint but I disagree. And the reason being the amount of money and time I spend when I paint. I spend tons of money on rollers, brushes, drop cloths, Paint (I tend to repaint immediately if it's the wrong color). And then there's time.....I'm a slow methodical painter but a quick sewer). So choose a color theme and go with that. I already had a Dijon mustard wall....what goes with that? Gray and white! Bam! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Having said that, to me, to re-do a room....start with the accessories.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I started with the towels. I added a decorative trim that coordinates with my gray, mustard and white color scheme.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">All I did was measure the distance on the towel that would fit a band of color, added the seam allowance. Sewed it on the front.</span></div>

For the curtain, I just hemmed the edges on the 2 sides. Then did the same on the top and bottom. Then folded over the top to create a path for the curtain rod. Shoved the extension rod through it and hung it up.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Tips on sewing with bath towels...make sure you pre-wash and dry them. I didn't and wished I had. Because the big fluffy towel ate up fabric (once I started sewing I ended up short on one end because it was so fluffy and I didn't pre-wash). The thinner the bath towel or wash rag, the better. It sewed more evenly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I kept the candle holders I had originally. I had bought the baskets to hold the bath supplies 2 weeks ago. So they are new but still coordinate. I may decide to spray paint the metal part black but for now, they stay rusty. I just didn't want a spray paint smell while soaking in the tub.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So back to my journal.....here's the finished product.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But it start out as this old school memo book that we've all seen (at least in America). Once back to school supplies shopping begins, I can find them for 99 cents.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So it went from that to this by wrapping it in scrapbook paper.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You need 2 pieces of 12 x 12 paper that you will cut down to 9 3/4 x 12 (measure the journal 1st, that's just what mine measured as).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Those are used to wrap around the cover. As you can see I had to add strips of coordinating paper to cover the rest because the paper wasn't big enough.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">For those strips of paper, I cut a 2x 9 3/4 for the outside and 3 x 9 3/4 for the inside. I repeated the same for the back cover.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Then I found the cool chalkboard stickers to use as labels. One even had a cute little Jaybird on it. And they really do work but, I had thicker chalk and it just didn't look pretty. So I used white paint pen. I'm going to look for skinny chalk the next time I'm out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love this scrapbook paper. It's called Be You by Fancy Pants. This page is all one print. I didn't cut and layer those strips. But it has quotes about being you, being in the moment etc.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sophia has been wanting to craft up a storm, so the other day we got on Pinterest and found a few things that she wanted to make. One craft we started with we found over at </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.learnwithplayathome.com/2013/01/diy-personalised-initial-shadowbox-3m.html">Learn With Play at Home</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We changed it up a bit but we're still happy with the results. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We started with a cardboard letter S we found at Joann's. She used acrylic hot pink paint to paint the letter first and let it dry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then, she glued buttons that we also bought at Joann's on top. Her idea was to use glitter glue so that if it was too thick or clumpy, it would just look like glitter.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Super easy. Pretty inexpensive. And she had fun. All I did was make sure she didn't get the acrylic paint all over herself or the kitchen.</span></div>
