Small Measures Marathon

Friends.

I am going on vacation.  A real one.  With my best girlfriends from New York.  Who I have not seen in 1 and 3 years.  Add in three husbands and 6 kids and a beautiful lake and I can't wait!

I have not gone on vacation in 5 years.  A weekend here and there, sure, but a real vacation?  Nope.  FIVE YEARS.  Now, I am sure there are too many families who never get a vacation, but when you have had the amount of upheaval and change in your world as we have over the past five years, there comes a point when a break is very much what you need.  To say I am looking forward to it would be an understatement.

While I am away?  Doing my best not to work.  At all.  But I did pre-schedule 8 days of small measures on the blog, so be sure to pop in.  Each day one photo, 25 words or less, sharing an inspiring idea for a DIY project.

Since this is usually a Saturday series, heck, I'll give you one today, too!

Add a three inch stripe (any color!) just above the baseboard.  Instant drama!
