God Bless America

I have been wanting to create a piece of artwork out of a wooden palate.  A few weeks back while garage-saleing, Katie and I stumbled upon one!  I quick snatched it up, bought wood to fill in the empty slats, and painted away.  

I love the finished product!

My beginning palate

 After nailing in the wood

I used the cheap acrylic paint fro Michaels.

Red Paint

White paint

 

Blue paint

 

Painting the stars and I used Goop to adhere them to the wood.

 My finished product

I temporarily made it the headboard in the guestroom.

Renaissance Festival

Katie and I spent Saturday, June 16 at the Renaissance Festival!  

We had so much fun :)

We got a photo by the big water mill before the place was packed.

Enjoying frozen strawberry "popcicles" in an orange while we watched jousting.

 

We rooted for Sir William and he won!

 

This man played with fire.... Let's increase the level of danger

 The Washing Well Wenches... SO hilarious every year!

Monica is getting married!

Monica and Adam are getting married on September 7th in Michigan so we celebrated her with one last hurray!  We started the evening at the Cheesecake Factory on 16th Street Mall.

 Moni with her penis shot glass.    My yummy strawberry/pineapple cooler.

Enjoying dinner - we all ordered salads not knowing they were the portion size for 4 people so we had lots of left overs that had to go to waste.

Our feet... ready to walk to the Rockie's Game

At the game
