It's FRIDAY!

Hey! I almost have the exterior paint colors picked out. All I'm trying to wrap up right now is how to treat the metal overhangs. I would love for them to look aged. I found this website www.modernmasters.com and they have some interesting finishes. I've been emailing with this nice gal in California who is sending faux samples.

In the meantime I've also been busy working on something for the dogs. Got a little fur child and want to make her bigger? Well I've been experimenting in the kitchen and I think I've perfected some GROW TREATS. Check it out.... I'm very interested in what you think.....

Here's Bridget before.....



And are you ready?


Ya' Sure?


Okay, I'm warning ya'

......here she is after only ONE WEEK of the new GROW TREATS. It's ABSOULTELY UNBELEIVEABLY AMAZING!

Did I get ya? hahaha!!!!

This is my feeble attempt at some humor today!
I went to an arts festival a couple of weekends ago and took lots of cool dog pics. Isn't this dog just beautiful?! One of these days I'm going to adopt a standard poodle, I just know it.

Besides taking dog photos I just had to snap up this pic of art that I would love to have if I only had a place to put it. It made me smile and I hope it makes you smile too.


Have a funtastic weekend!

XOXO,

Just Another Wednesday....

Hey ya'll! You are SO sweet to let me know you miss me. I miss you guys too! I've been a busy bee trying to bring in some bacon over here on my side of the world. And I've been coming to your blogs, just not blogging about me because it's pretty boring. hahaha However, I'm desperately wanting to paint the outside of our home before it gets too cold, and I've picked out some colors, but I've canceled the painter twice because of my uncertainty. Just when I think I have it figured out, I see a couple of houses and my brain starts spinning on it again. Whatever happened to the day when you picked out a trim and shutter color and you're happy? Has anyone noticed all the new ways to paint your house these days? It's crazy! To paint the gutters and downspouts a different color, or not? To paint the garage door the same as the shutters, or not? And we have metal overhangs and nooooo, you can't just paint them the same as the rest of the accents, you have to make them look like copper or bronze. Whew... I'm thinking what I should do is post pics of our place and get your awesome opinions so I can get on with this project. The paint is peeling and the wood is rotting over here. Yikes! Okay, pics soon...

The new banner pic is what the windowbox outside my home office window looks like right now. I'm really digging the orange color against the brick. The petunias I had in there earlier got tired. I'll be switching the flowers out again in the next week. Just waiting for the weather to cool off a little more.



XOXO,
Penny
