How to make a Shade for a Fluorescent Light Fixture



Before



After

After all of the fretting over the laundry room light fixture, I decided that I just wasn't going to have enough light in there if I changed out the fluorescent light for a prettier chandelier or lantern. The deal was sealed when I was watching Vanderpump Rules. (I really don't want to admit that I've watched any of those but I am a Real Housewives fan so I thought I'd check it out ~ Don't judge) You never know where inspiration is going to come from.

Spring Bulletin Board Ideas



Spring Bulletin Board 2012, "Spring is the Time for Growing in Knowledge."

I thought I would share a couple of seasonal bulletin boards that I have done for the PTA for those of you that are teachers or volunteers that do this sort of thing. Before I do a board I usually search around the Internet looking for inspiration. The above picture is last years Spring themed board. The calendar of individual events is on each cloud and the leaves have the letters of the alphabet A,B,C and the numbers 1,2,3. We sometimes have a volunteer and teacher of the month added to the board as well.
