these photos from Lonny are making me crave a poolside day

...& I really want to purchase this amazing-looking hammock from Etsy but I have no where to put it. Sad face.

I'm loving everything elephant these days...

Project progress - Issue 4

I don't know why but I love this photo of the tire tracks. This is a photo of success. The geothermal wells are drilled and horizontal trenches completed and into the building. The gravel and dirt is smoothed back out and soon we will have light bases and concrete curbs down. Then it will start looking like a parking lot.

There is a great addition to the building since the last update. Check out this little beauty below. Meet our entrance canopy.

Well, the start of an entrance canopy anyway. Looks pretty awesome, huh? Wait until it's finished.

The interior is coming along, too. Below are two before and after images. With out dry wall & with drywall. Without paint & with paint. Tell me that wall color isn't stunning.

And lastly for this time around: the board room. I can't wait to share a photo of the final room. It's going to look great!

The skinny popsicle sticks with flags can also be used as drink stirrers. I had some left over strips from this post that I cut and added to sticks as well for variety.

July 4th crafts

A fun, quick DIY for your Independence Day cookouts or picnics.

I think these are so cute, and not to mention convenient! Ever tried to hold a plate and drink and napkin and utensils? Not so easy. This little baby can go right in your pocket while you fill your plate. I like them in this basket but I love the idea of placing a few in a mason jar in the center of each table. Especially if it were tied off with some twine at the top. Hmm... I may need to do that. ;)
