School Starts Tomorrow.....

Here are a few things I wanted to share with you all:
My trumpet flower bloomed tonight!!!!  This  plant was grown from seed that my mom gave me.


Austin is HOME as of Sunday and he starts 8th grade tomorrow. 

 Please say a prayer that all will go well with his transition from homeschool back to public school.  
And of course a craft:  I made this banner a couple of weeks or so ago.  
Dream (a favorite thing of mine)

This is hanging on the door of the closet in my craft room.  There are the handmade flowers on the ends of the banner, banner was cut by hand and guess what--I actually have a short tutorial how to make those coming up soon.  
Have a wonderful day.  
Hugs,
Kim

    Wow, Kim you must have a green thumb too. Growing that beautiful flower from seed. I am positive your son will do well in school because he had a great start with you. The transition is good for him to see the "real" world and be able to make a difference. Follow your lovely banner "DREAM"
    Hugs, Chris

    Hi Kim, Love the new look! Hope all goes well tomorrow, I'm sure Austin will be fine and really enjoy it. You've got greener fingers than me - flowers & plants don't really like me, lol! Gorgeous "dream" banner btw, it's great to personalise your room. Maria x

    8th grade was a wonderful time for me. I will pray for Austin. Life at school can be tough for kids but I am sure he will do wonderfully. He is very handsome. anne
