No ironing required!

I rarely iron.... in fact, I got rid of my real ironing board that really only got used as a shelf, and now I have to run to my mom's to iron or just rely on that wrinkle-out spray; but, I am quite fond of this old one I dressed up a bit. It actually serves to hide the ugly space behind our dryer that we could see from the kitchen.
The letters are copper wire, the sunshine is made from square nails and an old shingle from the barn, and the fence is an old snow fence.
I also used an old wooden children's ironing board for a cute little shelf in the mudroom. Yep, about the only way an ironing board gets used at our house.

Wall flowers

We chaperoned a Sweet 16 dance this weekend. How fun. Hubby and I got our share of dancing in. We danced with them, learned some new moves, tried to teach them some moves, and all had a great time. No wall flowers here. It doesn't matter that the guys were outnumbered by the girls, they all usually dance in groups anyway. Some were skilled enough to text and dance at the same time. And, the chicken dance is still a hit.
