His Garden
Sweet fragrant smells fill the air, Colors blooming everywhere, Life calls out for all to see, The splendor of His majesty. Walk slowly through the garden gates, For among your steps His beauty waits, Behold all that He has given you, Wonders dressed in every hue. Look not upon the thorns and weeds, But see the greatness of His seeds, Planted in the heart of man Grown according to His plan. Reap the harvest of … Continue reading
Homemade Bulletin Boards
We have several homemade bulletin boards in our home. One wall of our classroom has a 4’X8’ board we use for displays, and the kids each have their own 15”X 4’ boards above their desks. My daughter has a matching fabric covered one in her bedroom. These are simple to make and fairly inexpensive. You will need: 1 piece of foam board (insulation board for the outside of your house) from home improvement center … Continue reading

It took longer at the skating rink yesterday than I had anticipated so we’re still painting. We got the first primer coat on and I will be putting on the second coat this morning. I hope that it will be dry enough to start putting the color on the walls this afternoon. My darling daughter is still being a great help. My dad, who regularly reads my blog, noticed an error. My classroom is not … Continue reading
Fresh Paint
I mentioned yesterday that we were going to clean our classroom. After getting started, I decided it would be easier to clean if we removed everything from the room. After surveying our 10 by 17 foot classroom I noticed that the walls were looking pretty rough. It hadn’t been painted since we first moved here 15 years ago. I came to the conclusion that paint was just what it needed. So we finished removing the bulletin … Continue reading
