Need the holiday rest!

I forgot to hit the publish button yesterday so my post was late in the afternoon!  I am tired.  Can't wait to just sit and eat turkey and pie for a few days.

I ended up re caulking another section of the shower unit.  My son is a good tester.  He sprayed water everywhere in the shower and a good thing too. Found that some of the caulk I missed smoothing down and it didn't make a good seal.  Well now that is fixed.  A cabinet is coming for the wall and I found a matching floor cabinet but it is not in stock anywhere in stores or online.  I have to do some super searches of find something similar.

Got the bread cut and toasted for stuffing.  Doing the yams today so we can just heat and eat.  They are so simple, peel and cut 3lbs of yams/sweet potatoes, add 2 sticks of butter, 1 cup brown sugar and 1 cup sugar. cover and cook on medium heat until potatoes are tender!  So easy and yummy and much better than the canned yams.

I am rambling cause I am exhausted.  Not even thinking about the snow, tons that are forcasted for here today.

I will be back Monday!!!  
Happy Thanksgiving to all 
and enjoy the long holiday weekend!!!

Today is more Christmas images!

Snow Coming???

Maybe 6"  of snow by the end of Wednesday!  It was almost 70 degrees yesterday.  Now that is wild weather!  Speaking about wild things, I went to the supermarket yesterday to pick up the last remaining ingredients needed for Turkey day dinner.  Thought if I get today I would avoid the crowds. Well I was wrong.  I spent more time in line than shopping the store!  Everybody is getting the Turkey day stuff early.  I am sure the upcoming snow storm has something to do with it!

I will be back to Zazzle next week.  I am really excited to get the ideas out of my head and on to digital paper.

Today is a very beautiful vintage greeting card print.

Thanksgiving around the corner!

Bathroom is 95% done!  Just some decorator touches and a cabinet, shelving and some mats and we can call it complete!!!!!!!!  Now my son doesn't have to run down a flight of stairs, through the long hall and through the kitchen to go to the bathroom at night, and neither do I!  It is wonderful and as soon as I finish the final touches I will post before and after pictures.

With the holiday preparations this week and removal of the A/C units (on hold while construction was going on) I don't think I will back to more artwork until next week. I will help with the thanksgiving meal prep by getting stuffing ready early, really good yam recipe together and whatever else is needed.
I still have many of my recent uploads to show though!

Now we are making progress.

Shower walls are up and the faucet and shower head installed.  Door and walls are today.  Then just clean and touch up and install the "hardware" and bathroom complete!  Amazing.  I am visiting my son's school today for education week so some of my work time will be limited, plus I am making pizza tonight!

Have a great weekend.  We are getting a weather warm up so certainly will enjoy it!

Today I have a Christmas collage I put together.

WOW

The bathroom floor looks nice, toilet is just about installed and next is the sink.  You don't realize the hard work it takes and the length of time a project like this entails until you actually do it.  Certainly was a pipe dream to have it done last week! Wait till you see the before and after.  What a difference!!

Today's showcase...

Grouting!

Now the floor is looking nice.  Will post pics when done, I am liking it.  It was an epoxy grout so something different than the usual stuff.  I will have quite a list of talents by the end of this project.

I had a nice day of sales yesterday.  Many science theme items.  I like that!  I am a geek you know!  Some lovely holiday cards as well.  Hopefully I can get some New Year designs on before the new year!

Today I have a cute Christmas design!

Things can change in an instant!

Well yesterday's dental visit had an extraction done.  I knew my son needed one, it was just a bad tooth and had to go.  I didn't realize it was this visit until it was done.  He was a trooper.  He did excellent and without sedation.  What 6 year old would go through that so well!  He ended up staying home from school yesterday while he was on the mend. It was a big procedure for him.  I was tending to him so grout was put off until today.  That is good, needed another day rest to be ready.  Big job!

Been making some sales through the weekend. I like seeing that. I want to get some more product on.  Tried yesterday but really couldn't focus.  I will get some more on soon!

I do have another holiday image to show!
