Glad tax season is over for another year

I know it's not quite the 18th (tax day) but all the one's I helped on are done!  Now on to projects-- gardening season is starting so that'll be so fun!  Seeds are started, beds are prepped.

A break from taxes

So, as I had a few hours to re-direct my creative nature, Tom gave me some quick lessons in throwing paint on canvas... so fun!  My friend, Bonnie, also joined in and together we turned out some wild wall hangings.

  Now, mines on the wall and Bonnie's to be installed soon, all that's missing is the signing! 

So ready for Spring

I've got the green house cleaned out and ready for seeds! Check out the following link for the remodel of the back porch that Rachel & I did.  I submitted it to "This Old House" on a remodel submission and it was accepted--- FUN.  Vote for us on this and let's see what happens!    http://youroldhouse.thisoldhouse.com/thisoldhouse/submission.jsp?id=114355 

Another completed project

This was a super fun event--- I got to help update/design Rylee's room-  my oldest granddaughter.  So we painted the room blue on Friday, added clouds & a rainbow, the on Saturday attached the pink castle that goes behind her bed.  Pictures coming, but here's a few prior to installing.  It turned out very cute, and as Rob (my son) told me I'm now setting a bench-mark for the rest of the grandkids.... so if they want this is part of their turn 6 years old option... Gram will help do a redecorating project.
