What's Up?

Here's what's up at our casa:

Look at "The Teenager"!!!
Austin is officially in braces!
He looks so much older with metal in his mouth.
Who would've thought?
He chose blue and green bands.
When I was little, we didn't have colored bands.
Plain gray was the color of the day.

Can you see the baby opossum we saw today at Target?
See...EVERYONE loves Target.
I am a frame making fool right now.
My fingers actually became Modge Podged together at one point.
The owner of :
in Marble Falls ordered 5.
The one below is one of hers that she gave to a friend as a baby shower gift last weekend.
I have been working on building my drapery business this summer.
I currently have 2 clients I am working with,
and a few neighbors have expressed interest in me doing some work for them.
Since I am not working full time, I actually have the time now to grow my business.
It's kinda exciting.
I am dreaming of cooler weather...
Fall weather to be precise.
I bought these 2 little guys for the porch in hopes that it might encourage some milder temps.
If you remember last year, I put out our fall decor September 1st
and will be doing the same this year starting with these 2 wooden characters.
Love it.
This is also "what's up" at our house:

That's it!
Happy, Tuesday, my friends!!

    I didn't realize you started a drape biz! My b/f/f that just moved back to Dallas is an interior designer. I could hook you up and she might be able to throw some business your way! let me know!

  3. Bring on the cooler weather. I am so tired of sweating and sweating and sweating. I hope your scarecrows do the trick. I love your frames and can't wait to see what happens with the drapes! I wish I could afford to hire you right now for my classroom (isn't that sad?)

  6. Accents by Alice. That's seriously awesome! Those frames are darling!
    I'm laughing at your opossum comment...
    Love the video. You're so calm- I'd be freaking out that someone was going to bust their face open! Probably because there aren't any little boys around here to break me in :)
