Monday Mayhem

Happy Monday (in my Eeyore tone of voice). Another weekend that flew right by us. We made the best of it at least, considering the hellacious storms we had. Normally, I'm all for a good storm! I like the thunder and the lighting, the whole thing…..well, except for tornados. We didn't get any touch downs in our immediate area from what I heard. But it rained pretty good every day this weekend.

Saturday, my husband went to our other property to catch up on some farming. I know, can you believe it, we're still trying to put seeds in the ground?!?! He just finished up on the garden here at the house too. Anyway, I kind of lounged around and I did get to go out and do a little browsing.

Yesterday, we finally took our boat out for the first time this season. Hubs has been there with my son but they just cleaned it up. We have it docked on the Detroit River for the summer. We're used to Lake Michigan and Lake Huron up by Mackinac Island and Cheboygan. When you leave the harbor and reach the lake, you just take off, no worries of depth. Well, Detroit River….way different! We were slowly putting around 15-20 feet depth and than all of a sudden 2-4 feet. So, Hubs wants another toy for the boat - a chart plotter. That way when we find ourselves in 2 feet of water, we're not nervous of which way to go to get out of it. So, we didn't stay out too long but, we did manage to catch a little of the Red Bull Air Races. We're were a little further down but some of the planes came our way. We're looking forward to the Hydroplaning races next month. The start/finish line is right at our Marina. And I…um…won't forget my camera this time.

I am working on updating my website (http://www.pictureitcreations.com). I use Yahoo! Sitebuilder for making my site - and it's more than a little pain in the rear end. I was trying to work on the next big section of my shop (to be revealed at a later date) and the software took a poop on me. So, I uninstalled and reinstalled the updated version and re-imported my site from the WWW. Well, only pieces of it came back to me and I had to manually put everything else back together. Anyway, unfortunately, there may be some broken or missing links. If you run across any, please let me know.

We're visiting Faerie Moon Creations

We finally made it to the weekend! This week seemed to drag along but it was only 4 days.

Last week, Faerie Moon Creations, wrote a lovely feature article on PictureIt Creations. We are also featured with a great artist, Stil Novo who uses recycled wine barrels from France for furniture and accessories. You have to see it!

PictureIt Creations is also hosting a special Father's Day Giveaway of a Custom Engraved 25 oz. Glass Beer Mug. Here is the beer mug up for grabs....of course with your text, clipart or logo.
