         I have to say Friday, the beginning of the weekend, yet no the ending.

       My many tear out sheets from years of collecting interior Design Magazines, internet, other bloggers and my life and passions.

       Graduating from College with three children to raise, and networking, stepping outside my comfort zone.

• How do you relax?

       Thrift shopping, reading, baths and movies at home

• Wine or Beer?

       Beer, I like wine, but a cold beer once in a while is good to me.

SPRAY PAINTING 101: MY FIRST YOUTUBE VIDEO

I am so excited to have a youtube channel. My very first time, and since this is my first time I'm still a bit shy to actual feature myself in the video (soon I promise). I thought of it after, I should have held the Iphone the long way and thought "crap, oh well". I didn't speak either so i'll have to give that a try as well. I like the sound of the spray can while videotaping a tutorial. What do you think? I am planning to do another video and need some feedback, Thank you.

here it is, I was so nervous to even post this.

Stop by my Youtube channel and comment there too.

Spraying painting is fun, time consuming, and tricky. It takes a lot of work to spray paint, weather permitting, the right tools are required and the sweeping motion will do the trick. Again patience and sanding between

coats is critical for a smooth finish.
