Hi everyone! I want to throw out a BIG THANK YOU to my followers, both old and new--we are halfway to 51 before my giveaway! Feel free to promote my blog to get us there faster if you wish! And thanks!
The past couple weeks have been a whirlwind. I am sorry I haven't been able to keep up with all your wonderful blogs lately--I have been wanting to though! Ever since the last Friday of July my husband "Mr. Fox" and I have been helping his parents to move. We've also been working on setting up our own place as we will be buying their "old" house from them--Mr. Fox's years long dream! There is still lots to do. Here's a peek at what I've been working with.

We finally have our kitchen more under control (but not entirely) and the living room is looking much more like a living room!
This past week I've been looking at blogs and a website called
weeklygreens.com for some yummy recipes. It's been the first real chance I've been able to *really* be able to cook for my husband. Here are a few pictures.
The brown things to the left are the pecans you put on the skewers. We are thinking of doing more of a sugar coating next time to accent the sweet potatoes and peaches! Earlier in the week we did the turkey chili weekly greens had as well--delicious! Next time I think I'll add a little bit of taco sauce for a touch more flavor though.
I've also been doing quite a bit of art. I painted a little "treasure box" for my new younger cousin Jake. We used Colorado as the theme as that is where Mr. Fox and I went on our honeymoon!

And I've been doing other art too--here was my latest commission I did--someone wanted them drawn as an elephant (their favorite animal) and their sister as a monkey. They requested tulips and daffodils in the picture as well (favorite flowers). It was a lot of fun to do! Prismacolor markers was the medium.
So as you can see lots is going on! To top it off--(the move and art and such) August 19th and 20th our town is having Olde Home Days. I'm having an urge to pay the $10 to get a booth and try to sell things. My plan is to draw people as animals of their choice (kinda different from the common caricatures) but as color takes a long time I'm thinking pencil. What do you think? If I do it, what do you think I should sell it for? I'm thinking $10 each. Does that sound decent on 8 1/2 by 11" cardstock? I'll also be working on my very own etsy shop too! So stay tuned! Thanks for reading this and blessings to you all!
