Our streak

We have almost finished decorating the front of the house and front yard for Pediatric Stroke Awareness month! It's kinda hard to tell form the picture and I haven't taken close-ups but there's a purple pinwheel in each planter. Uhm, and please ignore my pathetic version of a boxtree. I have no idea why one died and the other didn't....
Our front yard: ribbon on the tree, small pinwheels in planters, wreath on door and window art.
Our purple wreath for Pediatric Stroke Awareness Month


Window art (there are also 2 purple ribbons left and right)
The window art took all afternoon! Thanks to the lovely Ms. Rica it only took the afternoon, if it had been me only I'd still be painting! We've already gotten a few responses, people driving by real slow (and trying not to stop, lol). Tomorrow I just need to get the labels for the jars printed, T-shirts for walking, purple nail polish and the ribbons finished. Oh, and maybe purple clip on hair extensions. I am slightly behind since I'm just now getting over whatever bacterial infection I had. So walking will have to wait til Saturday afternoon so I can make sure I am not going to get a heart attack. Whoever wants to join me walking, let me know and I'll make sure I'll have a ribbon for you!
By the way, I walked into the post office yesterday to mail out our waivers for the stroke retreat and I asked if they were ok with having a "Pennies for Pediatric Stroke" penny jar for a week. They said I can have it up as long as I want!!!! Woot woot!

Alright y'all, Nia is super cranky tonight so I'll have to go. But remember, Saturday is Pediatric Stroke Day, so wear something purple and tell someone about pediatric stroke!

Love,

  1. It looks great! Definitely like the sign in the window. And honestly, I'm surprised you kept any plant alive through an ND winter. Lol.

  2. Hahaha, I wish I could use the winter as an excuse but that thing died way before winter. Lol.
