Last week Jan, Karen and I got together at Jan's house, to work on some canvases. I had previously made the "Be Happy" canvas I have a photo of a little further down in this blog post. ( Like the one Jan is holding that she made). It was one of the canvases that I sold at the last flea market. It ended up that Julie bought it.. so obviously she didn't need to make another one lol. That's why it's just Jan and Karen and I working on these on this day. Juls was working :( We missed her.
Jan made the "Be Happy" canvas and Karen worked on a canvas for her grandson... using the colors of his room.
The letters used on the canvases were Hazel and Ruby
The arrows we just created ourselves using masking tape.
This is the canvas Jan was making , she just didn't have the gems hot glued on yet. It's hard to see here, but that is metallic silver paint.
My sis spoiled with with my favorite coconut cake for an early birthday. I can not describe how how amazing this cake is. They are from Sams. We always get them from our bridal and baby showers also. It is delish!!
It was a great day. I always enjoy the time I spend with these girls. Karen and I laughed at how quickly the hour and 15 minute drive from my house to Jan went..... when her and I were chatting all the way. lol

What our weekend consisted of ....
Yes, that IS the back of our house. While we are doing the deck expansion, the plan was to replace the sliding door with french doors. Oh, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this to be done.
Anyway.. this is what it looked like Friday. Nothing but a huge tarp over it Friday night.
The trim isn't up... but by last night... we had a working door!
Yesterday while Dan was working on the outside door trim and other things, I took the pooches for a walk. It was such a beautiful day.
They are getting more and more used to each other every day.
We still miss our Molly dog so much some days. When I saw this..... I thought... THAT is just how I feel
