There has been a lot going on at the golf course so we have not had Sean Sr. around much this summer. It's been me and the kids and while I have loved having them home and all the fun outings we have had, its been a bit exhausting and coupled with some reoccuring health issues, I've been a bit worn out. So as a treat I signed up for Kelly Purkey's Sketchbook 2 class. I read some great things about the first one and thought this would be just the push I need to get my creativity flowing and to get some layouts done. So the first week just finished and I was able to get a layout done for each of the three sketches and they went so fast and I really like the way they turned out. (I don't know why the first layout keeps flipping on me but, oh well!!)
We all headed down 127 on Saturday and I have to say I was so disappointed. Mom and I went last year and had so much fun and found so many great items. This year it was more of your traditional yard sale and not as much an antique sale. I did find a couple of things...a great vintage clock and a cute little cash register bank (I loved the color). But the best find came at a barn that hosts craft sales as well as yard sales. The owners also happen to wholesale fruit and veggies to local farm stands and they had a shipment of bananas that had gotten a bit warm during shipping so they could not be sold. They were giving them away and while the kids each got one as a snack, they told Sean he could take a case if he wanted. When he mentioned this to me I told to go grab a case. So I have been slicing and freezing 40 pounds of bananas for the last two days. But it will be so worth it with all the banana muffins and smoothies we will use them for!!
I have a few other stories to get down from last week but Ellie wants to play Candy Land so they will have to wait!!
