Just want to catch up

First I just want to update about my shutters.  I painted them brown, all that work and hated them, so now I just need to find time to paint them ivory and either like them or sell them (not happy)

Now I just want to show some pics of the house in the morning, my beautiful roses too.

This is the pond area we've just had pavers put in I just haven't got those pics taken yet, but here's the before.

New project

Cute shutters I purchased.  I wanted something different and finally found them.  Just spent the morning scraping the bubbled paint.  Looking good so far.  I think I'm going to start with a brown just to see if I like the contrast against my aqua house.  Then if I don't like it I can still paint them ivory like the trim and of course scuff them a bit.  I'll show you the results. Excited to see them myself.

Love Nascar!

This is my hubby, myself, our friend Jon-Allen and our son Kevin having a good time in Dover for a race in 2010.  This weekend we're going back.  Can't wait, it's a real good time.

It's a fun track to watch a race.  We take an RV and have 5 others we meet.  Fun time!!

My two wonderful kids

The two most wonderful things in my life.  Motherhood the best job I will ever have in my lifetime.  They are awesome and being their friend now as adults is something I really cherish!

Something finished

I painted this slate for a friend of mine.  She is giving it to a woman that lost her husband (Pete) about a yr. ago.
Now I am pricing, separating and cleaning flea market items.  Big Flea Market at Second Avenue Consignment, 2 Paul's Way, Amherst, NH.  8-3 May 7th, 8th, to benefit the Bedford Animal Shelter

So many things to share

I have so many things I'd like to share, but know time.  So have a wonderful day and weekend is all I can say for today.

Cool trash to treasures I just finished

Old wooden spice rack dry brush painted it white to let some of the wood show through, stapled a piece of burlap to the back and filled a few of the containers with sand, shells, rocks.  Voila`!!

This table had a wood like enamel top yuck!  So I painted it, stamped it and antiqued it.  It's alot cuter, sort of bohemian style.
