Back to blogger land !

I have really been slacking off. After spending two months on the Gulf of Mexico..we got home and the weather at the lake has been so nice I just  goofed off .. Fall cleanup for the yard, did some junking, found some great projects to work on. Good ol' trash to treasure coming up ! Love THAT.. Then Hubby and I decided to re-do our living,  dining and den.. to make it more functional. SO we thru out some ideas..and wow  I have a vision growing. However, we also have decided to replace all our windows. They should be installed in the next two weeks.. so there is a lot I can't start on till they are done. BUT Nice new energy efficient windows..double hung, and flip down so we can wash them from  the inside. NO more ladder for Don to get to the windows..I can have  them clean any time..BUT, while we wait for windows we did some shopping, and bought new furniture.. I was ready for something NOT BEIGE.. NOT leather..and  unique... It will stay in storage till we are ready to do the final stage. It goes in the living room. The den is gettin some revamp, so we can enjoy the room.. it's just not used to  the best of its space.. I have to jump on my projects in between windows.. have paint to get on walls.. and  lots to do.. at least all the holiday decor is up.. so I have time to work on some fun stuff.  Back SOON ! Sorry for being gone so long. I think all the beach air  made me numb !

Beach time out !

We are still living on BEACH TIME... as soon as we get home from our two months on the beach I will get back to the blog.. wanting to soak up all the last of summers sun and  pretty water before we go home to fall and winter.. ughh winter..  Its not my favorite  season..but this year I have a plan to make the best of winter.. ! It better work .    Later !

Pink Schwinn

I love seeing the coaster bikes on the beach. I always think if the last bike I had growing up. It wasn't pink, it was read.  The past  two years I have been seeing  pink retro bikes..and  even tho I have a nice mountain bike, I had to get me a pink bike to cruise around the lake.  She is pink and white pearlescent paint. and awesome. WOW what a workout compared to my mountain bike that has  gears ! I like being able to sit upright to ride.. it's much easier on my back.. but no gears, more work out on your legs.. ALL good. Her pink rims and white sidewalls, the nice roomy pink and white seat.. she makes me smile to look at her.. I hope u get a smile too !

"Pink Door" welcomes you !

Yup.. the boring white back door..needed pink and white. With all  the accents on the back door screen.. this needed to happen.. I love walking in that door..hope  you do too !

Somethings Fishy

I decided my faded lure mailbox  needed some beach flair. It was originally very  green with some shimmer for scales. That  quickly faded and started to peel..so time for a makeover. There is no doubt  whose house this goes too !  I added the bling and some glimmer to the patio paints I used. I used some  plastic pastel lacing from the kids  craft dept. to make the lure stringers at the back.  I hope I don't  catch any "Bill-fish" with this lure !

Sand pails & shovels.

I love sand pails and shovels.... I started finding  shovels on the beach..so decided to "Collect & display" some.. Seems like I mostly find  yellow shovels. I did buy some new  shovels to help start the display. I had  a pretty  card from my sweet friend Teresa in McKinney,TX  I have saved it for years, finally framed it and  added it to my display. I hung them at the top of the stairs, opposite of the mermaid outfit.. just a little whimsy..brings out the kid in me every time I see them....and wouldn't you know it.. we have been at the beach one week and I already found a shovel..and yes..it's yellow !  I hope to find another pink one! YOU never know.. we will be here two months !

New beach accent

Loved how the life preservers I got for free cleaned up and painted so nicely.. So beachy !
