Yesterday I was just going to do some laundry and catch up on some other items I put off last week. The weather was supposed to be rainy but turned out to be a nice day. Ended up weeding two large beds, pulling out two large stumps and taking down the rest of the scaffolding and putting it back up on the other side of the house. This time it was put up three tiers! Boy is it high but I was up there putting it together. Now we pressure wash that side of the house and let it dry a few days and scrape, prime and paint!
Had a bunch of sales, here is one...
I have sold this one before, you might have seen it on the blog. I like it, simple. I will show the others during the week. I think my new stuff will be few and far between for a while but I do have things in the works.

I'm Back!!!
Wow, what a fun last week! Lots of traveling. We went to Clyde Peeling's Reptile Land on Tuesday. That was fun. I love seeing all the snakes, turtles, frogs and lizards! We saw a presentation on venomous snakes and got to touch a milk snake. That was cool! We watch giant tortoises have a battle in slow motion. Just awesome. Plus there were new dinosaurs in their outdoor exhibit and we got some neat pictures.
On Wednesday we traveled to Crystal Caves and took a tour of a beautiful cave that was discovered by farmers in the late 1800's. That was a nice tour, it was 54 degrees underground. Over 80 degrees topside! We then bought bags of dirt with gemstones in them and panned for them in a giant water way. My son loved that so much we had to buy a second bag of dirt! We got some nice souvenirs and had a very nice scenic ride there and back.
Then I painted, and painted and finished this lower front sun room facing the street. Both the wall and trim have been painted with two coats, washed the windows. Spruced of the door bell with gold paint and removed half of the scaffolding before the rains hit. Tomorrow the second half of scaffold will come down and be moved to the next section. This is going to be a long processes but well worth it in the end.
I will post sale pictures from Zazzle tomorrow since I overloaded with mini vacation pictures. Lots of sales while I was off! Off to get my son ready for camp, field trip today!

Monday
Was a nice weekend. Did lots of painting and cake eating. It was my father's birthday yesterday as well as Father's Day. We had a good time.
Today is another paint day and yard work day. Tomorrow thru next Monday we have my niece staying with us and a mini vacation planned so I will be off the blog until next Tuesday. My son is excited. His tie dye shirt came out so cute. It is in the wash because he had to wear it thru the weekend. I need to make some!
Did have a few sales, this is the latest...
Another popular design. Sometimes the simplest designs are the best. I know I should be putting more designs on but feel helping my parents paint the house is higher on the list. It would be a great help and give them peace of mind having the house up to date. Well enjoy the rest of your week. I will be back next Tuesday, hopefully with pictures from Reptile Land and a cave we are going to explore. I am just as excited as my son! Bye!!!

Painting Today!!!
I love painting...my father does not. He is so happy I do! Today after I drop my son off at camp I am beginning to paint the house. Got my work boots. I am all set and so excited to start.
I did not get any zazzling done yesterday. I got a call around 11am that my son needed dry clothes. It was water fun day at the camp and I forgot to pack dry clothes. While I was there the clouds gathered and opened up a massive downpour. Camp was cancelled for the rest of the day so I was on home entertainment duty with my son. I think he wore me out by the end of the day!
I did make a new sale! One you have seen before. A very popular design....
I am off to get the little one up and fed for a fun day at camp. It is field trip day!

Tuesday!!
Boy, when I dropped my son off at camp, he was not a happy "camper". He was nervous about going and I felt so bad leaving, even though it is just during the day and I would be back. He had a great time. One of his kindergarten classmates was there so that helped a bunch. They were let out early because we had some storms roll in. I think that is what we have going on weather-wise today. I will be picking him up early again.
I am still working on my orange design. The bird is done just not sure I want to post it. I think I will just post it and see what happens. Today should be a good day to Zazzle. I do have to pick up work boots for me this morning. Tomorrow I will be climbing a scaffolding and painting the house. I like painting so it should be fun! I also like climbing so high up on the scaffolding will be fun also!
I made more sales!! This is the first sale of this design...
Simple and fun! I like this one also. I guess I like most of the designs I put on, just not in the beginning. It takes awhile for me to warm up to them.
