It is supposed to be a beautiful day. Yesterday I started early and got the half of roof line scraped, sanded, primed and 1st coat of white paint. As soon as I finished a few drops started falling from the sky. A half hour later the skies opened up and it poured. I was so nervous that white paint would be over the driveway but all was okay. Checked after the rain cloud passed and the paint was fine. Today it is second coat the roof line, first coat on the windows and maybe start the brown in this one section. We only have enough scaffold to reach the top of the house on half of the side we are working. When we finish that side we move the top level scaffold over to the other half and work from there. Plenty to do today!
It will be a great day for camp. My son is excited. They are having a dance party today. Sounds like fun.
Time to set sail for today's showcase...
Ha, ha, like that intro! This is another simple design and I like that you can post something this simple and let the consumer add text to fit an event or make it special for themselves. Neat!
Have a fun and safe weekend and enjoy the last day of July! (WHAT!!??? August already!!)

Made it through yesterday.
It was hot, so I kept misting myself with water to stay cool. I managed to get two windows scraped, sanded and primed and the peak of the house scraped, sanded and primed. We put up the third tier of scaffold at the end of our workday so today I can work on one side of the roof line to the peak and get that scraped, sanded, primed and painted!!! It will be hot again, and a short workday as we have a party to go to tonight. We will see what we can get done.
Still selling at least one item a day! I am so happy and thankful for that. Of course I feel bad not having anything new on, but there are some rainy days coming up. Maybe I could do something quick. Today I have a big order to show.
This was a bulk order! I love how simple but fun this accordion image is. Sometimes simple is better, not cluttering up with too much design work. Off to start the day, and stay cool!

Hotter today..
Didn't do to much yesterday except set up. I had an appointment in the afternoon. Today I will do some scraping and sanding. Even though it was hot yesterday I was cold. Don't know if that is good or bad! Maybe working outside for a couple months has acclimated me to the weather.
My son has a field trip to the movies with camp today. Got to get him there early for the buses. I might pick him up earlier because of the super hot weather we will have today.
Still have more to showcase...
One of my favorites! We have two bunnies that live somewhere in our yard. They are not afraid of us and hop right by us. They enjoy eating the bird seed that is knocked down from the feeders. They are adorable when they stretch out in the cool grass. Pampered bunnies!!

Super hot day today.
Think we will be only doing some work in the morning. It is supposed to be super hot today. We get sun till after 2 pm on the side of the house we are working on. I also have an afternoon appointment so my day will be short. We managed to get the house power washed and set up. Must dry before scraping and painting. We can build more scaffold and get all our little projects ready for tomorrow!
Still been selling almost every day. Even some holiday themes...

Starting another week.
Beginning a new side of the house! We finished the side of the garage and yesterday set up the scaffold to start the front. We are almost all the way around the house!!! Check it out...
We are rounding the bend and heading for a complete wrap around in paint! So fun!!! Of course the heat today and tomorrow will be unbearable so we will just be doing small things until later in the week.
In honor of the latest bee sting I got over the weekend...4 or 5 stings now...another bee item sold!
Might be wasp or hornet stings, but still hurts!

Just posted yesterdays, forgot to hit Publish Button!!!!
I guess I am completely out of it! My post was all written and ready to go yesterday, just forgot to post or thought I posted or something. It is posted now. Have two more bee stings. Think they make me spacey.
We removed the scaffolding yesterday. I worked on the two windows and got the brown paint cut in around them. Today is finishing the lower have of the side of the garage. Then it is to the front! I am excited.
I plan on making pizza tonight. Makes two pies so one tonight and one tomorrow for lunch. Easy peasy! Weekend will be painting, weeding the planters on our current project side and possible power wash the next side and plan setup. We could possible be done before the end of august!
Have a wonderful weekend and check out the latest sale in honor of my stings...

Halfway done!
We have the top have of the side of the garage done! It was cool in air temp yesterday but in the sun we cooked. I have a bit of sunburn. Today may be a putter around day to get our energy back. We can remove the scaffolding and paint from the ground so that will be a plus. Then to the front of the garage and we are on the home stretch!
I am exhausted but ready to go. Going to plant some grass today also. We filled in some areas last week with seed but some spots are still bare so a bit more seed is needed.
Speaking of seeds, we save seeds from apples, cherries, lemons and cantaloupe and my son plants them in starter pods and we see if they will grow. We just got a cantaloupe to sprout! I know it is late in the season for it to grow fully but we will see how far along it goes. Can't wait for the cherry and lemon to sprout. He and I love watching the seedlings grow. We even have some pineapple tops starting to sprout roots. It is so fun.
How about today showcase...
