Lately...

Well, I just got back from a lovely trip to Destin, Florida with my Mom, Aunt, one cousin, two Sisters, one brother in law, 4 nephews, and one niece. It was the longest vacation I've ever been on and probably one of the best. We stayed 6 nights and it was just really relaxing and beautiful. I really needed the time I was able to spend with everyone to just catch up and recharge. I will put up some pictures soon. I did alot of painting while I was there and I realized just how much I enjoy that type of thing. I don't always have to go somewhere or being doing something outside of the house, it feels good to just sit still and focus on something that is enjoyable yet productive.
I also found a 1969 ladies Schwinn Varsity for 15 bucks at Goodwill. Its my latest project. I'm definitely taking before and after pictures of her because she's about to have some serious work done. And I'm doing it all myself!! Well, trying, anyway..
Since I've been back, work has really picked up. I had 10 clients in an 8 hour work day! Thats more than I usually do especially on a Tuesday. I had 3 clients going at one point and I'm not really the best multi tasker but it worked out. Let's see, what else...hmm, I talked with a photographer, who happens to be my client, the other day about setting up some photo shoots for my portfolio. She is a really cool girl who is a wedding photographer by day, and a freelance artist by night. She has these social projects that she does on her own, she gives away these cards that say i love you and people order them and she doesn't charge them a dime. Her site is www.everythingheidi.com.
Ummmm, oh...here's the big news!! We got living room furniture finally! Angela, my roommate, found this really nice big comfy sage green couch, chair, and ottoman for a hundred dollars on craigslist. We got very lucky! The couple we bought it from were just married or had just moved or something and needed to get rid of one set of furniture.
Well, I guess thats about it for now. Its waaaay past my bedtime.
