it's august...

and i want to know how that happened!!??  i have to say though that i'm pretty excited about this month!  i'm starting a much needed calendar w/ my hubby (thanks to a tip from a friend), isabella turns four!, she starts pre-k THREE times a week, and as of today she is signed up for ballet and tap :)  lots of goodies this month!  OH!  and my super, awesome, fantastic hottie of a husband has given me THE OFFICE!  we have shared this room for the past 8 years, and as of late he hasn't been using his "side" as much.  secretly, i've been wanting this space ever since dreaming of having a "craft room".  oh, i'm giddy about transforming this space...

i would like to have an open frame for my "organization" board including a chalkboard, clipboards w/ lists (birthdays, to-do's, thank you's, etc).  i have started designing posters for dandies (none are uploaded or ready to view) and would like to design an inspirational one for above my screen...before i was looking at this...

don't get me wrong, i LOVE led zeppelin, or i wouldn't have kept this HUGE silk from hanging on my wall, but every time i'd look up when i'm "stuck" on a design, they didn't exactly help...

on the jason's old desk will be my sewing/gift wrap table...so excited, so excited, so excited, so excited....

yellow, white and gray is my color scheme.  i hope to find some fabric this week to sew my very first drapes!

so, about this calendar.  my friend allison was telling me that she met w/ her hubby at the beginning of the month, and they went over each other's calendar so both knew what was going on for the upcoming weeks...brilliant!  i'm on it and so excited!  there have been many times i've heard, "i don't remember you telling me that," or, "when do we have a 'free' weekend?".  also, i keep thinking we need to schedule time for dates, for one-on-one time w/ our oldest daughter, time for ME, time for him.  august 1...what a good day to start.  even though jason wants me to send calendar info thru google calendars, which i will do, BUT we will sit down and discuss so there won't be any surprises.  besides, sounds like an opportunity for more face-time w/ my man :)
