Colorful Summer Projects

Thanks For Sharing!

For many of you, schools are already getting out and the weather is screaming summer! And for the rest of us, it’s only a few weeks away! Even though today is a little gloomy in my neck of the woods, that doesn’t mean I’m not thinking about bright colors and summer activities!

And you all are apparently on the same wave length because there were so many great summer projects linked up to the Inspiration Gallery this week. So here are 8 Colorful Summer Projects to add to your list along with Jaime, Lucy and my top picks from the party.

    Wow! What great talent and all is very inspirational! I can’t even pick a favorite…I have lots of scrap fabric, scrap paper for straws, lots of ribbon for a cute windsock…you name it! All of these look so fun to create. New follower via bloglovin!

    Thanks so much Taryn for stopping by! What I loved about the chalkboard paint backsplash is that it is so inexpensive to do. Everyone that has seen it loves it!
    I’m loven the windsock!
