It’s true that I’m given most of the things I makeover. If not given to me I find them on the side of the road left for the trash truck to pick up. I also shop garage sales, thrift stores and auction houses. How you get an item free or not doesn’t make the work you put in to the piece value any less. There is sanding, repairs, painting, sanding back to give it that shabby chic look and the...

The heavy feeling that seems to be looming over me these days makes me sick. I can’t shake it I know that it’s coming. I feel it at every turn of my day. I know that there is no going back so this will roll over the horizon like a thief in the night. Without care or concern this cloud will burst and there it will be……..WINTER. I hate winter and winter is stupid. I know all you pumpkin spice...

Okay I know I come up with some pretty crazy redo’s sometimes. I even get eye rolls and looks from Greg sometimes. He doesn’t have to say anything but I read his face really well. This redo is a redo to the already redone. It was a table I bought at an estate sale over a year ago. I loved the design in the wood but I guess no one else did because it went to Waco and sat there...

Today was high-five your teacher at school. I’ll be honest not my favorite day because of my issues with germs. My art kids know me well and know that an elbow bump is so much better for me. I love that our school takes the time to honor our hardworking teachers and celebrate us. We were served breakfast all day and I’ve heard lunch in on Wednesday followed by snack day on Friday. It really is the smallest things that...
