Just a quick update: The garage sale pile is growing!! I am decluttering and cleaning like a mad woman-well at least as productive as I can be while keeping up with the laundry, dishes, the weekly activities, a morning walk for my sanity, the meals and fires that seem to erupt with 3 kids that just want to make messes!
Molly’s art class worked with real egg tempra this week-yolk separated by hand and laid on paper towels, then mixed with safe pigments and a linseed oil mixture. Oh the smell-brought me back to art school! Painted on 300lb weight watercolor paper.
They compared the egg tempra with acrylics on a gesso board. All agreed the acrylics were easier to work with. 
I did manage to take some photos this week while out walking.
And I managed to catch this Baltimore Oriole
Today is promising blue skies and 70 degrees. We are off to a skate park for the afternoon. I will need to kick this into high gear tonight and tomorrow if I want to sort through the basement of toys and storage by garage sale time!! Hopefully clear skies for Saturday.

You’re going to let people whose paychecks are over a month late buy on credit, right? You can put me on the refrigerator. You know I’m good for it!
You are a one woman wonder! Fingers crossed for sunshine. Since I am a day ahead, I’ll email you and let you know ; ) lol!
Anything fabulous and vintage going to be in that sale? How about an overstuffed, comfy chair?
That’s all I’m looking for at the moment.
Oh, boys’ clothes size 12?
So far nothing too fab in the pile. My Mom and niece are coming with stuff too. My Mom is into Shabby chic. Thanks for all the good wishes and Dawn I can hang you back up on the IOU fridge if need be!!
