Oh yeah! We're having fun now!!

Old Dogs, New Tricks

I have jumped in, both feet, to a new adventure with a new friend I met at church. We are having a blast. She took the Country Living course in Pennsylvania to learn the new Caramel Colours paint and techniques. I came on recently as her "apprentice" and partner. We have great plans to do home shows and festivals and whatever else God might show us. We'll be showing and selling the paint, designing and refurbishing old and new furniture using the paint.
I can't say enough good things about this paint. It is a miracle worker. A lot of you know I once made a living doing faux finishes. Hard work as some of you that have done the same know. This paint makes it all easy. There's no stripping, no prep work at all. Yea!!
We're having such fun.
Last night was our first home show. We enjoyed the friends. They loved their projects. We had worked really hard getting ready but felt it all came together delightfully. We're both tired but very satisfied.
Enjoy the pictures. I'll post more later.

The proud bakers!

We had the delightful opportunity to get to spend almost an entire day with my other grandaughter Gabrielle. This is so rare because she is such a busy lady. She is in culinary arts at her high school and is becoming quite the accomplished chef. Of course we had to do another baked alaska. It was a blast. They even got to flame it with my new favorite toy, a torch. Brie is so wonderful with Peyton Grace and PG adores her. We got to eat a picnic up in the arbor on a beautiful day. Such fun. Two of my favorite girls and baking in the same day. Life is good.

Cousin friends

Peyton Grace thinks the sun rises and sets over Gabrielle's head. Fortunately, Brie is a fabulous roll model. This sweet girl really has her act together. She is funny and delightful with a smile that will just knock you over.

Puddles of meringue wonderfulness.
