Nice Cork Board!

Remember back in May I shared my hopes and dreams for the future? Okay, maybe it wasn't quite my hopes and dreams but my summer "to do" list. Unfortunately, it looks as if my list will not be completed seeing that today is August 1st and I start up second semester of nursing school on the 27th = I'll never see the light of day until next May. Ugh. I'm giving myself one more week before I start thinking about packing up my backpack again.

Anyway, I did knock off one of the tasks listed on it the other day between working overnights the past two nights and trying to catch up on my sleep during the day. I now present to you my cork board cupboard! I picked up these cork tiles from Target for less than $7 smackaroos.

Here's the lucky cupboard! And cheesy art!

The tiles were a little too big for the space I wanted to fit them in so out came the scissors and more cheesy art!

Then I did the dirty work...measuring and cutting.

The tiles came with their own sticky fasteners which are stil holding up!

Ta-da! I only put up two tiles since I'm barely tall enough as it is to reach the top of the one above.

Here's a look at the final product! Everytime we get something in the mail (like wedding save-the-dates and postcards) they end up under piles of papers in the office. Now, I can pin them up and enjoy them for a bit!

Oh remember when Joe broke the rules and gave me a little something for our one year? This was in the card... Gotta love the office.
