I dropped my Flop

I left my first pair on a local garden bench at Festival Hill Music Institute

Flipping Out!

My Mom and I have decided we really don't have enough to do, so we have launched a new blog together called FLIP FLOP DROP. Today is National Flip Flop Day and if you have a TROPICAL SMOOTHIE CAFE near you and wear your flip flops you will get a FREE SMOOTHIE!! So click on these links and see how we are flipping our flops!! 

You can join us too...we are embellishing, decorating and altering flip flops, tagging them with a link back to the FLIP FLOP BLOG and FLICKR and dropping them in some random public place so passerbys and take home a "happy" for their feet. Consider this a Random Act of Kindness...an ongoing project... summer fun with kids to teach kindness and the art of giving...or just something that will brighten your day as well as others...come on...FLIP OUT WITH US...??? Email me or comment here and I will send you a Word Doc for the tag info!!

blues gone green!

after feeling a bit out of sorts, I am coming back into the LIGHT!! I am now LOVING my new, bright, fresh, funky retro kitchen!!

I got the painting blues

History repeated itself this week. I am a freak when it comes to PAINT! I stress about color, I buy the wrong color, I return the color, thankfully to be altered by Sherwin Williams who has become my new best friend! We are moving at a rapid pace this week, finalizing colors....as you can see, I switched from a robin egg blue to historical retro green after much cursing, foot stomping, brush slinging and even a few tears!Then I sit back and finally say "ahh. I love it"  Later this week we hope to install tin ceiling tiles and maybe even a floor! And maybe the "Gotta Get a Kitchen Blues" will all fade away.
