Preppin' for the Party

I feel like I haven't had much to blog about lately but that's so not true...I can show you what we've been up to as we prepare the house and yard for our grad's party.  I've crossed out what we've accomplished so far.
Mail Out Invitations

Organize Garage

{from this)

Clean up Deck

Plant Flowers

 Paint we already had...

 {to prett-i-ful}

Finish School!

woo to the hoo!

Clean Up Lower Patio

 

From DIRTY

 

to PURTY!

With the exception of buying the fire pit and flowers, all of these projects were FREE!!

We still have a lot more to do in the upcoming weeks, like:

Power Wash House

Touch Up Outdoor Paint

Move Gazebo
Plant Bulbs and More Flowers
and I'm sure many more things that I've forgotten about.
This method of taking a picture of something I want done has been very effective. I'm hoping it works on this swing that's been waiting for a hanging place for 6+ years.

What have you been up to?
