Well, the first quarter of our school year is almost over! Yea!! This has been one of those weeks where we were all a little tired, there was some sickness, and there wasn't a lot of exciting stuff on the calendar ...but we stayed the course and got a lot done. Love that feeling of accomplishment! On our "Fun Friday" we had our devotional time, did some Life of Fred, played some American trivia, worked on stories with our Story Cubes, and then wrapped up with some leaf painting. We had seen these cute illustrations in the current issue of Family Fun magazine and thought this would be a fun project to try--and they were!

Yes, I am already planning to paint the desktops with chalkboard paint no matter the color of the desk! I think that will be so cute!

I miss you guys!

Angela Venum Lensing is co-owner of Keep It Gypsy. She started painting school desks last year. She does them in themes. I love them and want one for each of my girl's rooms. One she painted to look like an OU Sooner's wagon. Other's she's done in cowgirl theme, pink/black theme, baseball theme. Maybe you could do each desk that coordinates with something each kid loves.
