Where the heck have I been? My last post was in September of 09! Guess I’ve been pretty busy. I opened up a Zazzle, Cafe Press and an Etsy around the end of last year. I am happy to report all 3 online stores are doing well and have helped me finance some projects I’ve been working on.
I decided one day that I wanted a wall of pine tongue and groove paneling painted white. I knew it would be a bit of a challenge for my dad considering our wall goes up to an almost 30 ft ceiling. My dad and his helper did most of the work, my mom, Jr and I painted the boards. Except the ones all the way at the top, my dad did those, thank goodness! I love the results. In fact, I want to do more! Maybe it can be our summer vacation project?
I participated in my first art show in February and actually won an honorable mention for my photograph, “Just the Beginning” (the kitten in my hand). I was shocked!!! A copy of this photo can be found in my etsy shop, here.
That night, after the art awards ceremony, it snowed!! It hardly ever snows here, and especially not 8″! It was really something to see!
Let’s see, what next? Oh yeah, we found a great forever home for our foster kitties, Sebastian and Reilly. They are very happy with their new family and I love reading updates about them on facebook. So happy they found a great home, this time it’s permanent.
Ok, I think that’s enough for one post. Be back soon with some awesome thrift store finds!
