Summer Is Here!

We have finally had sunshine more than 12 hours for the past week and should have more this week! I'm totally excited that the rain is "somewhat" moving out. Although my plants and shrubs are loving it, I prefer the sun without rain.
The kids are out of school in two weeks, unbelievable how fast this year has gone by. We are gearing up for a very busy summer. As soon as Kennedy finishes softball, she'll go into t-ball, then Marty is letting her play with the boys in the fall, baseball machine pitch. He's been working with her, and I really think she's going to be pretty good. Unlike Jake, she's all about the sports, which is right down Marty's alley.
Well I had plans to stop doing my faux painting in residential homes, and totally concentrate on my new canvas painting business, but I think the Lord has different plans for me. I've started getting so many phone calls for faux painting that I am booked thru part of August. I don't know what is going on.....I hadn't had any calls in a few months, I had even closed out my accounts, and then all of a sudden, I'm slammed. I'm literally working every free minute doing my faux after leaving the sign shop....nights and weekends. So between Kennedy's ball and that, I'm bushed at the end of the day. I'm going to continue to do both until I can't do both any more. It's hard, but I love the faux. It's my outlet. I get so absorbed in it, it's like it's not even work. My partner called me last week, and I think we're going to make our first sale on our canvas paintings. I'm really excited, I've been working on a few designs in my "free" time.......we'll see what happens!
