<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I promised Kurt I wouldn't go out and buy all new baskets</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and containers, so I used what I had on hand.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The only cost to this makeover was the paint. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I've included a 12 step process </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">to achieving an organized space,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">just in case you are getting motivated </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">to make over your own pantry.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">STEP 1: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Designate a spot for a temporary holding area. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">(Just in case you end up sick for 5 days and can't move.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Take a deep breath and empty everything out. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Ask a friend to help you out... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">it goes more quickly and is more fun to have a buddy!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Add shelving if you can...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Use all your vertical space.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I forgot to take a picture of Kurt building the shelving. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">He added 3 shelves, one above the window, another across from the window and the third below the top shelf.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Paint the shelves. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We chose a semi-gloss white.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Purge and Clean.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I filled containers, organized baskets </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">and spent time rearranging to fit all my zones. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I tossed most of my cookbooks since I use the internet to find recipes (and I don't cook! :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I also recommend getting rid of boxes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">They take up more space and don't look as uniform.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I gave a little clue as to the color I chose for the pantry. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I wanted to go with a bright color, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">something that would pop when you open the door! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I matched the color to my kitchen stools... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The stools sit at the kitchen island. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Besides a few Fiesta pitchers displayed there isn't any other yellow so I decided to add that color to the pantry. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Kurt wasn't crazy about the color but like a good hubby he let me go with it... I convinced him it was a closet and that you wouldn't even see the yellow once all the supplies were back in.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm crazy about the way it turned out!! A Good kinda Crazy!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And this is my kitchen, as it sat for a week while we painted 2 coats,</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">then spent 3 days in bed with a terrible sinus cold and then a few days adding shelves, painting the white and giving it drying time. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The first coat went on really well and probably would have been ok without the second (since it is a closet and all) but I went ahead and gave it 2 coats for good measure and because I actually enjoy the painting. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">{<span style="color: magenta;">Pantry Makeover</span>}</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">part one</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Growing up we never had a walk in pantry. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It was usually a cabinet door with shelving that held food instead of dishes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And come to think of it...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> of all the moving I did after moving out of our childhood home </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I can't remember having a formal pantry. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I never really gave this space much thought. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Until Kurt and I bought this house 20 years ago. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I remember opening the closet door and needing to ask what the space was for. </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Ahhha!! Of course... a Pantry! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Cool! I like it!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And from this point on, I've always had a thing for pantry's... especially a walk-in pantry. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've been doing a lot of research on Kitchen Pantry spaces.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">You can view my Pantry <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/sbretz/pantry/">Pinterest Board here.</a> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">For a couple of years now I've been planning on making over our little food closet. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Our house is small and so is the pantry. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It isn't quite a walk in pantry more like a one step pantry.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I also love that it has a window! Homes build in the 1920's included windows in pantry's and closets. It allows you to see items in natural light. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I wish I could tell you that I purposefully let this area go and ignored it just so I could get a good before picture... but I didn't! This is what our pantry looked like before. Don't judge!! ;)</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the last few years I've ignored this little blog of mine... not intentionally, I actually think about it all the time! I really do like the process of writing, sharing ideas, posting before and after photos and keeping you all up to date with {Bretz Moments}. Something happens during August through May... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I become so involved and dedicated to my classroom and creating the most positive learning experience for my 6th grade students that the blog is the first thing to go... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I simply can't take care of my family, my home and my career and keep up with {Bretz Moments}. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Despite 25 years of teaching experience, I still reinvent myself and my classroom year after year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's the life of a teacher... I wouldn't have it any other way!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I decided to add a tab to {Bretz Moments}. I plan to contribute how I decorate my classroom, organize my lessons, engage students in learning, and share any tips I can pass along the way. I'm hoping this will allow me to share my love of teaching with my desire to blog more regularly.</div>

The next day we measured a cup with ice into the finished boxes and set them outside.</div>

(Here they are next to our green screen wall.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After one hour, we removed the cups of ice and measured how much ice was left in the cup. </div>

We calculated the data to find out which shoebox was designed to be the most effective. </div>

Finally, these engineers reflected on their shoeboxes and how they could further improve their designs. </div>

<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As you know I make weekly trips to the thrift store...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> The thrifting bug hit me several years ago when we decided </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">that I would work part time so that I could be home with the kids. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our finances were cut in half...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> but I wasn't going to let that keep me from taking pride in my home. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I wanted my home to show our personality, to have style, to be pretty.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I would study the Pottery Barn catalog </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and browse through Anthropology every chance I could get.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">However my budget didn't allow for either one of those luxuries</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">so I started going to Antique flea markets and then I discovered Thrift Stores!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While it has been a busy and eventful 2 months, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have to admit I am happy to step foot in my classroom...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At least to decorate it for now!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year I only had 2 days to get my classroom prepared for the 2014/15 school year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I leave for a trip on Saturday and won't be back until the day we begin our staff meetings. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My sweet sister and I spent the first day unwrapping bookshelves, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
emptying out cabinets and setting up the classroom layout. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Between the 2 of us we have over 40 years of classroom set up experience</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so the process went quickly and turned out so cute!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
* I brought my file cabinet home to give a little make over...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Filing is one of my least favorite jobs... maybe now it won't be??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Remember my colorful and welcoming door? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last year I painted it with chalkboard paint...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and wrote a simple Welcome message!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved it and so did the kids...</div>

Anyway... As you walk in the boring green door, this guy greets you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We call him Mr. IB...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These IB character traits remind us what type of learners we strive to be daily.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year we wrote a grant for new furniture...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the integration of 1:1 iPads in the class,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we realized that the traditional classroom setting wasn't ideal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a middle school staff we wrote a grant to address the 21st century classroom setting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the money, we purchased furniture for our classrooms.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't received all of the pieces I requested, so for now this is what my room looks like.</div>

I'm a bracelet junkie!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I usually wear at least 4 on one arm at a time...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So over the summer I started making my own!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tassels are also my new obsession, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I added them to my bracelets!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love each and every one of these babies...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Really I do!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In fact I've made over 30...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And guess what!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They will be for sale soon on ETSY!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm very excited and can't wait to share them with you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've also been making earrings and necklaces. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the creative aspect of jewelry making and find myself beading daily!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Look for my Etsy shop opening up soon...</div>

Project Life has changed the way I document our family life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can see more about project life <a href="http://bretzmoments.blogspot.com/2012/04/vegas-scrapbook-weekend.html?q=project+life">here</a>, <a href="http://bretzmoments.blogspot.com/2012/03/project-life-week-4-and-5.html?q=project+life">here</a> and <a href="http://bretzmoments.blogspot.com/2012/03/project-life-weeks-6-and-7.html?q=project+life">here</a>...</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I recently finished journaling our 2013 year </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year rather than documenting every week,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(which was overwhelming) I decided to organize my events by months.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead of 2 albums I was able to keep my year in one book.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I only included 20 posts in 2013 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought I could catch everyone up with what we've been up to...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Warning: This is a long post with lots and lots of pictures of pictures!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh... and sorry about the foot shots!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But on the up side, at least my pedi looks good!! HA!</div>

4 years ago we tried a drip irrigation system for our front yard. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It worked for a little bit but over time some of the drips began to break or clog. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As a result, many of our plants were not receiving enough water. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In addition, we were ready for a new look...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">thrift store, estate sale or a flea market!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This is my hobby!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I love 'Thrifting'!!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">{1} </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Thrill of the Hunt:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thrifting can take you in a number of directions!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may have something in mind </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but 9 times out of 10 you'll walk out </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with something completely different!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For me, the best part about thrifting is waiting </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for that special item to pop into my hands (or feet)...<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
When you find the right piece of art<br />
or the perfect side table<br />
you know it was just meant to be!!<br />
<br />
Your heart skips a beat...<br />
You feel like doing a cartwheel...<br />
Everything gets a little blurry...<br />
You know the feeling!!<br />
That's Serendipity!!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">{3} </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Visualizing the outcome:</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as you see it...<br />
you can picture it on the wall<br />
or in your dining room!<br />
<br />
Strip it!<br />
Sand it!<br />
Paint it!<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">{4} People watching:</span><br />
Don't you just love watching what everyone else is buying?<br />
I see their purchases and can't help but wonder<br />
where they are going with their treasures??<br />
<br />
I especially love the elderly!!<br />
I love to hear them reminisce about how they remember when...!!<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">{5} Wheeling and Dealing:</span><br />
Wheeling and dealing can be tricky!<br />
You want to get the best price for your purchase<br />
but not at the risk of offending the seller!<br />
I find asking the price of a piece<br />
and then slashing 20%-40% works best!!<br />
Asking $10 ;Offer between $8-$6<br />
But it also depends on how badly you need the item<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">!</span><br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">{6} Adding to a collection:</span><br />

special something to add to your others just like them??<br />

It's more fun when those you love join you in your passion!<br />
I'm lucky that even my little guy likes treasure hunting!!<br />
(I give them $5 to treasure hunt too<br />
and they always find a little something<br />
to keep them coming back for more!!)<br />

<br />
Please forgive me once again!!! It isn't as easy as it was in 2011 to routinely update you. Trust me, I think of you often and hear from your readers weekly. And everytime I stop in to check on you, there you wait... Patiently! Thank you for being my sounding board for so many years... I could always count on you to listen and I walk away feeling so much better after writing to you. I've often thought of letting you go, closing you down... but I can't! We've been through so much together. You know so many things about me and it's nice to have a connection to family all around the globe. I hope you don't mind that I gave you a new look, more modern and fresh... I like it, hopefully everyone else does too! I can't make any promises but for now, I can tell you that I'm still alive and well... <br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />
Sandy<br />

We returned from Michigan this week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Initially we went for a family reunion </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but we ended up staying for 2 weeks!!</div>

Kurt was raised in Michigan and left for California </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when he was 11 years old. So naturally, he was excited to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
share a little bit of his youth with his own children. </div>

The last reunion took place 8 years ago. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jack and Cassie were 4 & 6 years old</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and don't remember a whole lot </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
about their earlier trip to Michigan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lynne, Kim and Suzanne organized the events</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and did a fabulous job creating a perfect picnic at the park,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
including the weather!!</div>

I found this art piece at the Goodwill...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have to admit, I was embarrassed </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to be seen buying this painting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luckily I didn't run into anyone I knew while toting </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this 3 foot by 5 foot canvas!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I knew that the $8 price tag was worth it!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A canvas of this size at Michaels starts at $80-100...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even with a 40% coupon I would be spending over $50!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I decided to keep my eye out for a decent canvas </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on my weekly thrift store visits.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The key is to look for a canvas that isn't creased,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or raised and that doesn't have thick paint texture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I brought this baby home and set it up for the family to wonder...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Has she gone mad?? Really??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a great time watching their reactions to my new purchase!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But after a few coats of primer I was ready to begin!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A clean slate... so to speak </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpiacc-GS-PgaLYFyYO0_IWCGqWValWpkmahNpxMXonXovQQ2tjAR6LuWk1lccrAwqhkvFN0NY-oMuXsOSmwxUHNUtM9ZYeyhjw7FD5wh0wAPJv6KWO50lpEEwlAOnH4HuE-W8l8pnAf1L/s1600/IMG_6106.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpiacc-GS-PgaLYFyYO0_IWCGqWValWpkmahNpxMXonXovQQ2tjAR6LuWk1lccrAwqhkvFN0NY-oMuXsOSmwxUHNUtM9ZYeyhjw7FD5wh0wAPJv6KWO50lpEEwlAOnH4HuE-W8l8pnAf1L/s400/IMG_6106.JPG" width="400" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I marked 2 inch ticks across the top and bottom of the canvas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, I lightly penciled lines across the board. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't want a uniform look...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I just started painting lines!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used opaque acrylic paint but also watered down </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some of the colors to make them more transparent. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew that I wanted to add lots of color to my painting,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I began with colors I had and then started mixing them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to make new colors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept adding new colors and changing directions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I allowed some paint to run down the canvas, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I liked the look of the streaks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also made sure to place contrasting colors next to each other, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and only repeated a few colors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

For weeks I have been staring </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at the blank canvas on the lamp shade. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been screaming...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Do something to me!!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I found a sharpie and got busy writing down </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all of my favorite inspirational quotes. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok...it's really just an excuse to go visit Teddy!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But we did manage to get his room organized in the process.</div>

On February 22nd, Mama, Papa, Sony and I</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all made the 8 hour drive to Reno, NV.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have to admit I was dreading the thought </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of being in a car for that long...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but it was quite enjoyable!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were able to catch up, nap, play games on our phones </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and enjoy the beautiful scenery!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the last <a href="http://bretzmoments.blogspot.com/2013/01/bathroom-remodel-part-3.html">bathroom post</a>, we shared the shower hot mop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since then Kurt added lath on the shower walls.</div>

Recently, we floated the shower walls </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with mortar in preparation for tile. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Doug Sinclair with Sinclair Tile </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
did a great job leveling and plumbing the walls. </div>

I am so touched by the generosity of this sweet family!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are so dedicated to the animals at the shelter!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In addition to fostering dogs, volunteering at the shelter, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and finding homes for dogs, they also collect & deliver</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;">Warm Blankets for Cold Noses<span style="font-size: small;">.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;">..</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I asked Jennifer if we could help out </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so of course we jumped at the idea of giving </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just a little of our time to these needy pups!</div>

Jack, Cassie, Dapa and I spent the afternoon helping </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the Lilley family with delivering their blanket donation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each pup was so happy to receive a warm blanket and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some even dragged the cozy fleece into their kennels! </div>

The real hero in this story,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is my sweet friend Jennifer Lilley!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is passionate about her cause and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
about giving each dog much needed attention and love.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I followed Jennifer to snap some photos,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was overwhelmed with emotions as I saw the true</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
connections she made with every dog she came across. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is just one kennel she made her way into...</div>

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">10 Reasons to Run a Half Marathon!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Training </span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Preparing for this race was part of a process!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
During my training process, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found myself excited to get out and run by myself!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm usually a "go to the gym with a friend kinda person."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But this training was a sort of reflection time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really enjoyed the peace and quiet!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7qD4luryZ7N1DM_ENdoz0nk_c77gx9R75wpnhHX1R-OVU02-KsPONCDFigHca-Bbo3ISLx47OUPTnW1sbXPJulm-uDeQXr1T297tWWTp2lqHZbMuugh9zoEKTC6_vqrHcn3QBN5iDbUa_/s1600/IMG_6613.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7qD4luryZ7N1DM_ENdoz0nk_c77gx9R75wpnhHX1R-OVU02-KsPONCDFigHca-Bbo3ISLx47OUPTnW1sbXPJulm-uDeQXr1T297tWWTp2lqHZbMuugh9zoEKTC6_vqrHcn3QBN5iDbUa_/s320/IMG_6613.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">2. Setting a goal and sticking to it!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My BFF, Alex, talked me into doing this race with her this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I signed up for the Surf City USA half marathon, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I knew It wasn't going to be easy!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I spent 5 months training and while I could have trained </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a little more and pushed myself a little harder,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't really know what to expect...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My goal was to just finish!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I DID!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not to make any excuses...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up feeling a head cold but I told </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
myself to suck it up and push forward. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I DID!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I have a pace... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next year I want to beat my 3 hour 17 minute time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can do better!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I WILL!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but If I had, this would definitely be one of the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
accomplishments I would want to do in my lifetime. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I knew I was going to do it again!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I definitely don't feel the need to tackle the full </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">5. People Watching</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With 20,000 people participating in this event,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
there were all sorts of sizes, shapes,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ages and colors of runner/walkers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were quite entertained by the fruit costumes, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
clowns, tutu's, and colorful people on this day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In fact, we were so engaged in watching the people </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
around us that we completely missed mile 12!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wait... I mean, we ran mile 12 but we didn't even realize</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that we did!! As we were approaching what we believed to be</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
mile 12 we quickly noticed that it was in fact mile 13!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Imagine our excitement in knowing that the finish line was</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just .1 miles ahead!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Needless to say, we ran the rest of the way, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we might have even skipped and jumped a little bit too!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
13.1 miles goes by quickly when you have your buddy around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I trained I listened to music... the sounds would </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
get me moving and make me feel alive!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alex and I brought our music but we didn't use it!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's right we did this Old School!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We spent the entire 13.1 miles talking and laughing!!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">7. It's all about ME!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did this for ME!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As a Mom I spend a lot of time </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
taking care of my family, my home, my husband</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and all the chores that keep a home running.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But competing in this run was purely for myself!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was nice to do something for ME...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At any age, I know I need to stay active, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
keep moving, be youthful! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">9. New Shoes</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was a perfect excuse to buy myself new running shoes!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a bone spur on the bottom of my foot so I deal </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with foot pain if I don't wear shoes with support. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did have a little pain but it was minimal...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm sure my new shoes helped!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is a real feeling of satisfaction </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with crossing the finish line!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did it for me but I also did it for my family!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kurt and the kids were there cheering me on! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to show my kids that if you set your mind</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to accomplish something... it can be done!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were proud of me and that means a lot to me!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"> What is Instagram??</span></span><br />
<br />
It's a social media website that hosts <br />
pictures sent from your mobile device.<br />
It's also a great way to view images from<br />
other online photo collections.<br />
My favorite thing about Instagram is that you<br />
can access professional photo editing tools in seconds.<br />
It's also fun to share your edited images<br />
with friends and family online.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can view my sandybretz on Instagram <a href="http://instagram.com/sandybretz/">here.</a> <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
It has changed the way I document </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our day to day life...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can capture and post a picture within seconds!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
