Jumpstart June {Week 3 Check-in}

by Lindsay Ballard on June 23, 2014 846 Comments

Leading a DIY life has a lot of benefits.  Depending upon what you are undertaking, you can save yourself a lot of money.  You can teach yourself a new skill.  You can work with your own schedule and budget.  Or take some time to do nothing at all, knowing that it will still be there when you are ready.

Jumpstart June: Pick one project that you want to get finished this month and get it done!

That’s exactly what happened to me this week, the third week of Jumpstart June.  I took a break.  I didn’t work on my Mary Blair inspired wall a single time.  But you know what I did do?

I swam with my kids nearly every day.

Was last week a great week or what?  Gosh, I just love summer.  It’s been my favorite season for as long as I can remember.  It has nothing to do with not having to set an alarm to get up for school (but that IS awesome), but it’s because I love the sun, the color of the bright green grass and tank tops.  🙂

There were tons of super cute pins in last week’s linky party.  It was hard for me to choose just two!  The first one that I loved is this updated fan pinned by Amy.  The before was just a boring little fan, but the after is so much fun!
