New places, some same ole faces.

Well, I've been asked to join in with a couple of other gals and take over an existing message board and site. Since I now have a lot of free time on my hands, and no place to hang my internet hat - it seems like fate! Come on over and get back to your scrapbooking roots at the friendliest place on the internet - Scrap Shanty

Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz, oh what a relief it is!!

Did something yesterday that I should have done long ago! Life is too short to spend caught up in things you have the power to change! Something just wasn't working for me anymore, and I had to the power to change it by removing myself from the situation - and so I did! What a relief!!

Well I have decided that I am not cut out for the life of a house painter! LOL. DH and I painted the outside of the house this weekend, and plan on staining the deck and fences and then painting the inside of the house. I am not looking forward to the future projects, and am sure that I will have had enough of painting by the time we are done.

But, that complaining out of the way. It is very satisfying to look at how great the house looks now, and know that WE did it!! The light isn't good enough tonight for a completed picture - and we still have to paint our door maroon. But here are some before and afters - the paint color we chose is called masking tape - isn't that a great name for paint??


Before - a light yellow


After - masking tape :)
