Now if I have a cute camper (see last blog) I would have to have cute cakes to serve and at the beach, this one would be perfect!!! This is so cute...I wonder if they used brown sugar for sand or if they colored white sugar for it...
or graham cracker crumbs? This would be fun to try...but not today....
Ok, so is this not the cutest thing!!??? I love it! She finds an old trailer and reworks it for her yard and a getaway....how sweet is that!? I pass an old trailer all the time on my journeys down the hill, sitting in an old field, and what fun it would be to do this to it!!! Of course, Bob would call it my clubhouse, cause he wouldn't step foot in it, but isn't that the point...my own space? I just wish I had a piece of property big enough to put it on....then when I want to escape, I can hide out here...I just love this!!!! Shabby chic trailer!! So cute...I want one...now how to get it.....I will have to sit on this egg awhile.....he came home telling me all about one of the customers he has who just showed him his restored cars and was so excited about that, so why not be thrilled about a restored trailer...same thing right? kinda? Oh well, I sent this my darling daughter in love cause she loves shabby chic, and they have a trailer and she is going to tell my son this is what she wants to do to theirs....I can just see his little toy hauler done in pink!!! Well, it's one way to get her to go dirt bike riding and look pretty all weekend!!! HEHEHE....I can only imagine the guys he rides with reaction to that!!! I am rolling with laughter now.....love you Josh.....
My favorite artist will always be Susan Rios, I have followed her work for over 21 years, and still have the original picture I bought...I also was able to meet her in person while at a tea at a local gift store, and won the print to the right which she signed to me...finally, now that the kids are
all almost gone, I can frame this print and hang in the new guest room...love to be by the beach, but I don't enjoy sunbathing, I don't tan, I burn...but love the overcast dreamy feeling and the sand in my toes...it just renews my energy....maybe I should have been a mermaid....beats being a marlin, or a octopus, don't you think?

o I am back to journal making...I love doing these little books...especially when I can personalize them. Haven't had much time to do any for a while, life gets so busy, and my crafty room is a whirlwind...I learned in my design classes that each hobby or job you do from home should have it's own room...I am thinking if I ever get to build the house I designed, that I will put in a series of very large closets...all in a row...one for scrapbooking, one for journals, one for diaper cakes, one for my interior design work, one for sewing, and one for reading....lets see that would be six little rooms, about 10x10 each, with lots of cabinets, and shelving, and a work counter all the way around...now how to sell my sweet hubby on the idea...if I say I will move to where he wants to go (which is where I don't want to go) then he has to give me the rooms....NAH...I think I will just be content to live here in my chaos chamber...ok, off and running, gotta get these in the mail....
OK...we just had an earthquake, a 4.5 in San Bernadino...fun times...hoping it isn't a preshock to a bigger one...I just hate those things....wishing I could protect all the loved ones I have, in the event of large one, but I can't do that, I can only pray we are all at home in bed and ride it out safely...then I can worry about my boys who would have to go out and help in the event of a large one...so that is another new challenge about the craziness these things can bring on...ok, it's over, and I think I am going to bed....happy hopping to me if anything else preveils tonight...wish me luck. Yipes!!!!
So, I love beginnings...that means something new is happening...a new year, a new book, a new study, a new day, a new life, a new job (wish I could find one) a new class, a new interest, a new friend, a new understanding, a new start....you get my drift right? Well, I thought I was going to BEGIN my new year with a clean house, and office...but no, already my 2009 is not going right...I have been sick since last Wednesday, and not up to cleaning, and then my beloved gutted the kid's bathroom, tub, toilet, sink, cabinet, faucet, light, floor, all of it and started to rebuild it...it was a joy going to Home Depot and Lowes to find all the new stuff, while I was blowing my stuffed up nose and hacking my head off...so glad I didn't see anyone I knew, as makeup was out of the question...and sneeze, oh my, I had to cross my legs I sneezed so much....well, my beloved is not quite finished, but I am feeling a ton better and ready to tackle the cleaning in the next few days...I did even start the office, but it's a long way from being cleaned....oh for the day....then hopefully next weekend, beloved will finish the flooring and put the toilet back on and the sink and we will be done....nice...no doubt this will mean we will sell it, since every house I have lived in has always had to be sold when we finally finished everything....however, I do want to paint out the kitchen cabinets and redo the counters for the second time...but probably not anytime soon....I need a job first...besides, I am taking two classes this semester and start in a month, so I have to get "organ"ized by then...I think I can, I think I can....I hope I can....wish me luck....well, enough....I am looking forward to BEGINNING my cleaning tomorrow....right after the car goes into the dealer for services....joy....I will post clean pics when we finish.....
