Hi everyone! I’m still here. I’ve just been stuck behind a paint brush for the last several days. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to show you what I’ve been working on. In the meantime, I thought I would repost my summer list for you complete with download! Many of you have requested a copy of my list. While I don’t have the full copy, I do have a few pages for you to download which will get you started! Happy Summer!
…………………………………………………
You have probably seen many-a-summer-list in the blogosphere in recent weeks. Not to be left out, of course I had to make one too!
I first sat my boys down and hashed out a list of fun things they would like to do this summer. Then I found images I liked in Google images and saved them to a file on my computer. Next, I simply inserted the images into a Word document and typed out our list in American Typewriter Light font. Hit print, cut the cuties out, tack them to a cork board and call it done!
We already have a great jump on our list and plan to cross off several more items this week while at the beach.
I figured if this is something I was going to stare at all summer long then it better look cute. And my handwriting is anything but cute. Thank goodness for computers!
Here are some close ups of our list items in case you want to copy.
Hubs, if you’re reading this, I hope you take note of the last item on our list!
What is top on your to-do list this summer?

I was wondering if you could reshare. I don’t know if you realize that after several week on scribed it is no longer free. They want you to pay. I stopped using scrid for this reason and now use google docs. I wouldn’t mind if the creator got the money but I’m not giving it to a company. It is so unfair when the creator is offering it for free and it truly isn’t after ahile they consider it an archive. please let me know if you can’t that is okay. It is awesome. Thank you form sharing your creativity. God Bless. Mrs. Valerie
I love the way you’ve made your family’s ‘to do list’ so visual, it’s a nice way to remind you of what you want to achieve. I’d already drawn up a to do list, inspired what I’d seen online, now I’m going to have a think about how to ‘make it visual’. Such a great idea.

LOVE IT!! I saw your post linked on another site and I’m so glad you re-posted! Going to print it up and try to take a picture of the kiddos doing each of the activities –instant summer scrapbook done! Thanks!! Love your site!
After reading this post, I had to create the same kind of list – I'll admit I used quite a few of your ideas, but I managed to come up with a few on my own, as well!
If you're curious, you can find the fabulousness you inspired right here!
Really great Beth, thanks for sharing. Good luck finishing your stenciling project! Take care, Laura
These are so adorable, and what a great idea. Thank you so much for sharing the template.
I remember seeing these all over the web last year, but I never got around to doing one of my own. I'm going to make our list tonight. Thanks for the reminder & I love the way yours turned out!
Wow, I am gonna come over to your house to have play dates this summer!
Enjoy…I am going to print these for grands!
I love it, Beth. It's adorable! and I'm glad you posted it because I had seen some last year but have not come across many this year and I've kind of been distracted by a handsome little one month old too so I have not had much time to look around. 🙂
Thank you for sharing! Two days ago pulled up your old post from last year for a little inspiration!! I love this idea! I am going to put them on our back door with magnets! It is the only magnetic thing in our house! Have a wonderful Memorial Day!
If I wasn't busy building cabinets and gutting the kitchen, I would totally be all over this idea! I shall save it for next year (unless our kitchen miraculously finishes before August. The Lusty Woodsman is so very talented…it might just happen!). Thanks for sharing!
