projects, this and that!

We have been talking about removing the unslightly coat rack at the bottom of our stairs for a while. It is the place where everyone throws everything. And when space is at a premium, I am always looking for space saving solutions. I thought maybe a trip to Ikea was in our future, but the answer cost us less than $5.00.

This is an old board salvaged from my grandma's house...I think it came from the back porch. It has been painted several times.

This makes me very happy to look at as I come down the stairs!

Here is a little owl that has been improved with glitter!

I found two of these little guys at St. Vinnies...so here is the before and after!

Glitter....it is amazing!

Little acorn man~

tiny pink elephant!

These are some things I have been making as summer quickly draws to a close...and rest assured a trip to Ikea is always in our future!

Drawing journal

I do not scrap book. Do not even ask me. I love to craft, but when it comes to scrapbooking, I draw the line...

One of the things I do just for fun is to draw journal. Think about doodling on the side of a paper and how much fun that can be... I draw to relax, and enjoy the process. Let me show you what I am talking about.
Recently I went to the beach for a "week-end" time with childhood/college friends. Here is a photo from our time together

In Long beach Washington there is a huge skillet that was used for some big clam fry. Our goal was to get a picture of us three in front of the skillet. So there we are, our dream came true!

Here is my drawing about our time together!
