My project this past week was to paint one of these bottles - See below.  When Samantha moved out and we were shopping for kitchen things, we saw one of these bottles and I told her I would paint it for her.  You can put dish soap in it or olive oil ….  or whatever you want!   Here is mine - professionally painted - and given to me as a gift.

I asked Sam to find me a picture to copy -

The wonderful thing about painting on glass is that you can wash it off and start over - which I did last night.  The picture above is the one I liked…. not the one I washed off!

Getting ready to paint the back -

And done!

I just need to spray the bottle with a clear coat to protect the painting and I’ll be all done!

The other day we got on the subject of my summer calendars. I remembered tonight and got them out of the garage. What fun they were! I took a poster board, drew out the squares for the days of the months and then wrote the numbers in. I then drew pictures of our family. The girls drew pictures a few of the years - really fun and cute.

We wrote all of our summer happenings on the calendar. We made lists of movies we went to see and movies we rented.

I always asked my girls (when they were little) to make a list of things to do in the summer that didn’t cost any money! Going to the park, Grandma and Mr. Bill’s pool, a visit to the library… etc…. We always stayed busy and had a fun time!

Here are my calendars - maybe you can make your own and get some ideas from mine!
