I am Karin from ART IS BEAUTY

I think you will all agree that this week’s Features

are once again FABULOUS!

 

When to Plank and When Not to Plank

In January, my husband and I got this great idea to jump on the bandwagon and do the 30 day plank challenge. 

To be totally honest, I didn't even know what a plank was, so I Googled it and thought, “I can totally do that.”

Day one - plank for 20 seconds.

So I got down on the floor and up on my elbows and the balls of my feet. Then held the position.

Twirl and Take a Bow Tuesday

Welcome back for another great party! I bet that people are starting to head outside and start working on their gardens or front porches.  My brain is swirling with some new ideas. All I need is the time {don't we all}.  
Enjoy the party! Take it away, Leslie!

Music to my Ears 

{Teachers Change Lives}

One of my very first students was a second grade girl named Sarah*.

She was shy. Painfully shy.

I could barely get her to say two words most days, let alone really tell if her reading was improving.

She did the work that I gave her, but oh how she struggled.

As a reading teacher I worked with her for 4 years in a row before she left to go to the middle school; however, I didn't feel I was making a difference in her life. 

And much to my despair, I would hear others say that she wasn't very smart, but not do much else in the way of going to college or having a career.

Never once did I give up on her.

Lemonade Invitation and an Apology

The Front Porch Reveal

I'd like to apologize. 

You are all my friends and I have let you down. For this, I'm truly sorry.

How have I let you down, you might be asking?

Well, back in April my husband ripped the front steps off the house. 

I was shocked and thrilled and I got all of you excited about the possibilities too.

Then I teased you with snippets of our progress. 

I even gave you all our deadline for finishing our few Miner major adjustments…2 weeks.

Those 2 weeks came and went and now it's 4 months later, but still no porch pictures for you.

Easter Inspiration and a Party
{Twirl and Take a Bow}

Here comes Peter Cottontail

hoppin down the bunny trail…

There were so many furniture makeovers and yummy recipes at last week's link up that I was torn between featuring them or Easter crafts.

I think that this week is all about the kids though, so Easter projects it is.

There are still a couple days to do some of these adorable crafts, especially if you are home with the kids for spring break. 

Hippity, hoppity

Easter’s on its way.

Enjoy the inspiration, friends!

Things to Do... 

                 
Have you ever hiked up a mountain? 

I’ll admit, it isn't my favorite activity, but when I get to the summit there is a sense of accomplishment like no other.

At the end of this weekend I looked around my laundry room and I noticed something.

It was like the Mount Everest of dirty laundry in there.

We held a family bridal shower for my brother and his fiance, so there was little time to get down there. 

My mom and brother did fold some of our clothes though. I am so thankful for them.

Now I need to get back on track....no more piles of laundry.

Have you met....The Twirl and Take a Bow Team?

Welcome back to our party! It is so great to see you again. Can I remind you of all the great bloggers that co-host this party every week?
