Painting Sidekick

Whenever I am painting (or doing anything) this little big sweet Dog is always right by my side! Elmer Douglas is going to be 10 this summer!!! I can’t believe it! When I was 19 I moved into a rented house with a bunch of friends and decided I needed a dog. I was at a Money Tree with a friend talking about it and the teller said, “I have a dog that I need to get rid of”… FATE! He was just a puppy and her older lab was being mean to him. She said he is Bulldog & Jack Russell Terrier… WHAT?! Thinking he would be small and stocky we went to go look at him and instantly fell in love! 75 pounds later, we realized he is an American Bulldog/J.R. Terrier!

One of the best decisions I ever made was to take this guy home!

Tuesday!

I am all alone in the office today, so this will be short and sweet! I had a wonderful 4 day weekend! Layla and I had a long visit with her favorite (& only) Uncle Eddie, Ben and I watched movies, a Ladies night Saturday, sleeping in on Sunday, finished the stairs on the Chevron wall, a big nap and some shopping!  

Some positive words I added to our chalkboard wall yesterday:

Have a fab Tuesday!!!

Hello Thursday Night!

Mix Mash

Hola! Throwing a post together today. I am insanely busy at work! My co worker recently left our bank so our tiny 3 person Credit Card Dept. is now even smaller and tiny-er with just me and my Boss. Anyone want to work in a bank?? Lol, but seriously anyone in Eastern WA?

Ben and his buddy at work were having a beard growing contest. Well his co worker caved and shaved (ha that rhymed) last weekend but Ben hasn’t. I took this trying out a Retro Camera App I downloaded so you can’t really see the hugeness of it but it’s large! I know a lot of women who are anti beard but I really like it. Just maybe a little shorter and trimmed up.

When we ran to Home Depot for Caterpillar Green paint, Layla noticed the orange gates at the end of each row they have to block the rows off. Anyways so were looking at light fixtures and she’s playing with one then we start walking to somewhere else and she runs in front of me to play with another one trips over my shoes and falls face first into the damn gate.

Lots of blood and a fat lip later! Poor Kiddo! She’s totally fine now and by Monday she was excited to get to school and show it off.

And here's Layla's Valentines we made! Melted crayons:

I’m off tomorrow and Monday for Presidents day! Have a fabulous weekend!

Love Day!

Caterpillar Green

Yesterday morning I woke up and wanted to paint something. I have been talking to Ben a bit about painting our main bathroom a bright green. Green is my all time favorite color. So after a quick trip to Home Depot and a few hours later we now have a bright green bathroom!

Caterpillar Green

All my accessories were already black and white so nothing really changed I just shopped around my house a bit.

Where the photo above is, there used to be a medicine cabinet. I never liked it and there was hardly anything in it so I took it down. This photo is not permanent but I needed something for the space.  



It’s definitely now the boldest room in the house!

Eye Candy Friday

Hooray it's Friday!

Here's some pretty things to look at: 

 My Mom is giving me her huge computer armorie and I have plans to turn it into a bar. I haven't found much inspiration...

This weekend I have plans to draw the rest of the Chevron wall and take Layla to see the Muppets at our local discount theater.

Have a fabulous weekend!
