Last night I went to Sip N Strokes with Jenn.

We had so much fun and believe me this was not easy.

I think I have tried every kind of creative outlet there is

and

Yes! I have painted before.

For several years, I painted. I didn't say I painted well. But I painted.

And I am here to tell you that you can lose what talent you have. Oh, well! I have a new picture to add to the closet gallery.

And below is the booth.

This is the booth Barbara and I worked on for 2 days. There is still a few things that will go in this morning.
Over the curtain door I have a few things to put up there. But I didn't have the strength to get up on a ladder one more time.
Please feel free to enlarge it and look at all the details.
We are so proud.
It is just to die for.
Do you know why we decorate booths in this unique way.
To get them noticed.
It is all about getting your attention.
Happy Thursday!

Yesterday was the day to destroy and conquer the back wall at the shop.

And I don't like the paneling but I do rent the building so I covered it up.

Yes, that is brown paper, packing paper and this was a job, by my self.

Boy, it is hot on a ladder.
This is where I got yesterday.
Now I am ready for the fun part, the decorating part.
Stay tuned for the results tomorrow.

I know, I have been lacking a little in my blog writing. So I am here to say I will have a entry each day for a week. That's right, I , Jerri will be posting each day for 7 days !

Today's post is a picture of a Antique Mall Booth, that I have fallen in love with.

I will re-create ( in Jerri's style) this booth at my shop, this week.

So there is a little tidbit of info I am sure you will be checking back for.

I also went to a auction on Sunday, almost 70 miles away and got a few things.

Pictures will follow this week too.

So here I go, on with the show.....Picture #1

I got this picture off this blog, if you are interested in checking out other picture.

Had my final Doctor's appointment yesterday. I really had worked my self up and thought this surgery was going to be worse than it was. Maybe it was the surgeon, she is a gentle woman. And I had very little pain, no bruising and now I have a smiley face scare on my right breast. But all is well and she said, just keep up with your mammograms and call me if you need me. Love it!
I cleaned house yesterday, having a 4th get to gather. But I did leave alittle early and get to the Paper works outlet downtown. I needed to get paper products for the Crop 2 Help event in September. When I get a idea, I have to run with it, right a way! I was disappointed. I have noticed inventory in shops are at a all time low, economy and all that. I don't get to go often, but something has changed. So I went on to Party City and found some great things. I drove out to Scrap Mania, I haven't been there since I taught a class in November of last year. I got to see Nonna, that was worth the trip. And I flipped the top down and drove home on some country roads. All and all, Lola and I had a great day. But back to work today. So I will be closed on Saturday to celebrate the 4th. So eat some BBQ, slurp down some home made ice cream,join in on the watermelon seed spitting contest, and finish off the day with fireworks, but have a safe celebration.

Farewell to June

It was a busy one!

The boys love it!

I like it too!

We attended several Yard Sales and went to the Antique Sale in Atlanta.

DD had a yard Sale 2 weekends to raise $ for a beach trip.

It has been toooo hot!

We hosted a bunco Tournament

The men loved it and now know what we do once a month At Bunco,

or do they..

Hello July

My first project this month is our annual

4th of July party.

Saturday @ 7.

DD and family are leaving Thursday going to the beach,

so we are on my own.

So if you are not busy, buzz on by.

I was sent this e-mail and thought it needed to be read.

So read on my half of dozen blog followers,

It will make you smile.

The first testicular guard (Cup) was used in baseball in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1934.

It took 60 years for men to realize that the brain is also important.
