Everything is Beachy!

So I am working away on the conversion of our

little rental house from warm reds and sage greens

to beachy blues, turqouises and soft greens.  I

am starting to enjoy the transition - there's nothing

like a change (I've heard it's as good as a rest!)

In keeping with the beachy theme I promised

in this post that I would show you the end

result of taking a little carving board and

turning it into a sign.

Now use your smooshie vision

(explained in this post) remember - it's

my first sign!

What do you think?  Would you be

able to find the beach?

BTW - please go and vote for my

ugly (altho beachy) lamp over at Better After.

It's the not so pretty fishy one!

Ciao Bellas, have an awesome week!

I'm in the running! Ugly Lamp Contest~

Holy stromboli, get excited! 

  Better After's Annual  

UGLY LAMP Contest

is officially underway! 

That's right - my "Rollie Pollie" Fish Lamp

is in the first round - please go vote...

IT IS UGLY and to help me pay for

the ugly sin of actually

buying this lamp (actually 

Mr. Biff did)

"I" could win a $75

gift certificate!

Do you remember the lamp

from this post?

Maybe then I could buy

flipper a new shade.....

or give him a coat of paint....

or feed him....he looks hungry!

And those eyes - they just won't

quit staring accusingly at Mr. Biff....

hahaha....

Do you think he's salvageable?

Check it out @

Better After

Whatcha waitin' for? Go Vote!

Island Girl....

Saturday was the perfect day for

a trip "up Island" to hang out with

family for a fabulous BBQ.

 

That's the Coastal Mountain Range on the mainland in

the background taken from the beach in Campbell River, BC

by Mr. Biff himself!

 

The weather was perfect and the

company (Mr. Biff) delightful for

the drive. A little Eagles, some Kansas

and even a little Rush thrown in. No

easy listening on this trip it was thumping

rock all the way Baby!

 

The "Inland" Island Highway going North above

and South below....that's some of the Gulf Islands

you can see from the highway.

 

I finished painting a chair today and as

we have established many times - I am

such a bad blogger I forgot to take the

before"picture - I will, however, post

the "after" tomorrow.

 

I am thinking about what to put on

this sign. What? It's a cutting board

you say? Not any more! I am going

to see how it can cut it as a sign

(oh, punny Peg, very punny!)

 

 

Check back tomorrow for my progress!

And in the meantime, God Bless!

It's been one week since I blogged at you....

Turned my head to the side and said "I'm lazy"

Five days since you laughed at me saying

"Get that together and come back and see me"

Ok, I'm shamelessly plagiarizing the lyrics of

the Barenaked Ladies "One Week" but it's because

when I started to type tonight - it's what was playing

in my head.....and it really has been one week since

I blogged at you! (And, I've taken great
liberties with the lyrics to make them fit! - my
apologies to the "Ladies"!)

It's been a LONG week.....first week back to work

after summer holidays - and while I love my job - it

is hard to shift from holiday mode to work mode in

just a few days.  By the end of the week I had reacquired

my business acumen!

I did do a little bit of crafty stuff this week and will

have pictures to prove it up on Sunday.  Tomorrow is

a family day - up Island.  Hope you all have a safe

and happy long weekend,
