Cape Cod Trip

 
We just got back from a fabulous week of visiting my family. We spent most of the week at the Cape enjoying the beaches.




 We also had an open house for my brother and his bride (Michelle)


Got to meet my sister's boyfriend from Idaho (Anthony), played a round of mini golf and ate a lot of ice cream : ) Thanks family for a wonderful trip.

Recent Projects

I finally finished some projects that have been long in the works. We painted our hallway in Feb. when my family was visiting (I should probably say they painted it with a little help from us). Then I decided we need some wall hangings. So over the last few months I've collected some great photos taken by my wonderful sister-in-law (Marnee http://www.marriottphoto.com/). Two weeks ago I hit the great penny sale at Aaron Brothers. I had a friend cut some vinyl for me. And this weekend I got them all hung. So here it is.





This was a random project that I was hoping would add some life/color to my kitchen area. I faux painted two canvases using the technique my other wonderful sister-in-law, Shaliece, had taught me. Then that same friend vinyl cutting friend (thanks Shanta) cut some vinyl for these signs. (Still working on the left sign)
