Hi everyone here is a chance to take a 2 day workshop from me in a gorgeous setting in southern Ca. We will be doing this fun little guy and I am so excited as I created him for teaching, yet needed a 2 day venue to do so .Lisa Larosa's Inspirational Retreats is just the perfect place . Hope to see some of you there!!

out with the old and in with the new

For quite some time now My Aunt Deb (Beth Quinn's Mom) and I have been planning to do a make over in  her home . Little did we know how the project would grow and come to include the whole family..... That is My Aunt Barb, my Mom ,Beth and Cal  have all played rolls in this first phase face lift ( 4 rooms to go) of Debs space. The goal was to get her feeling like her condo of 7 years is finally her home!! To do this it was needed  to give it the cottage feel she  adores and to make a space for her creativity and ebay business while still keeping in mind that she loves to entertain her family and needs a cozy feel as she  lives by herself. Here is what I came up.  I used black and white as the main feel as it gave the 80's oak a chic sophisticated feel and would be a simple background  color theme  that  would tie all these multi purposes together in one big open  space. We all pulled together in cleaning, painting and repairing to make this happen. Deb had a lot of good things to work with, they just needed a new twist put on them to bring them into  their new environment . Oh and 10 trips to the dump and Goodwill with a tad extra stuff no longer needed!!

Four Eyes

Here I am in my new glasses . I finally bit the bullet and went to prescriptions. UGHHHH they are progressive lenses and I cannot see I thing. All I do is move my head around trying to find the " Sweet spot" where things come into focus. They say it takes about 2 weeks to get used to them.  I am amazed I can see to write this post !!!!
