Patio

Well...I have been planning a patio for years and it is finally coming together. 

The hot tub? Found on Craigslist, I could not pass it up. The price was right, it was well maintained, it works and it came with a lot of extras such as the cover, GFI Breaker, Electrical wire, conduit, chemicals, the manuals, etc. The pictures you see here is of the hot tub in my garage.

Wed morning I am meeting with the owner of a Concrete company. We are meeting on Wed to go over what it is I am looking for. The estimate right now is a 12' x 30' stamped and painted patio with footings to hold the pergola. We are working out a pretty good deal on this which I will go into detail more after I meet with him on Wed. We have tentatively planned an exchange which I hope to finalize Wed. 

The fire pit? I bought a new fire pit from Menards a year ago. I watched the price drop from over $200 to under $100 as it was during the fall. I could not pass it up so I bought it and it has been in storage since. It is still new in the box. So this would be a good addition to this new patio. 

A water fountain? Well...I would love to have some sort of water decor besides the hot tub that is. I am working on the fountain attached to this blog entry. It is just over 3' tall and it is only $35. Yet another Craigslist deal.

Now I need to find materials for the pergola and the privacy screen. 

Fun times.

Crayon project

Why so many collages of the kids and crayons? The crayon pictures, the background and also what looks like a bunch of melted crayons...is actually; melted crayon. 

Whilest in California visiting the Burrill's the kids left crayons in a plastic container, in the car, in the sun. As it turns out the sun melted the crayons and made a beautiful piece of art. haha. 

So I am making two 8'x8' collage prints (included in this blog entry) to put into two shadow boxes. I also still have the chunks of melted crayon which I will then place inside each of the shadow boxes as well. 

I had to make the collages, which I think I finally have the ones I like so I have uploaded them to good ol' snapfish to get quality prints done. :)
