random stuff for a friday ...
Great article in the Delta Airlines magazine. Seriously made me cry (not that that is super hard to do!) The article's author, Jeff Telofski responded to a contest call and won.
Guess what I found in the Ballard Designs catalog?
chalkboard shelves, very similar to the one I have hanging in my kitchen (pictured in Photo Freedom)
these are more expensive, but they are probably built better (more sturdy) than mine too and I love how they come with just 3 chalkboards and hooks, so you could buy one or more! Seriously, I love my tag books hanging in my kitchen -- they make me so happy.
Scooter update. For my 40th birthday, my sweet husband made good on a promise from our engagement days and ordered me a lime green scooter. The only problem was I had specifically requested lime green and the only lime green scooter he could find was this one built by a guy in his garage out of chinese parts. My beloved lime scooter turned out to be a lemon. So ... I'm now the proud owner of ...
this one (only mine is black) I can now ride my scooter and turn it off and NOT fear that it won't start again. I can also use the lights and the turn signal and other key features. I was scooterless all last summer, but I'm back a ridin' and having a GREAT time.
Styrofoam? Are you kidding me?
No. I'm not. You should really check out this site, print up the FREE pdf booklet of ideas and get to hanging some of your pattern paper stash on the wall! I picked up the booklet in Michaels, where you can purchase 12x12 foam squares. 
I'm thinking my playroom -- eh?
happy friday.
