Just a Regular Ol' Update...in case you're still checking.

1.) The finished product at Sugar Grove Elementary...there is more where this came from. We saw the next cafeteria that we will be refinishing! gimme all the epoxy. (I kid, it is so messy) but the final product is SO worth it!

2.) Here we have David, in Room 544 at the Graduate Hotel in Bloomington, IN. Joy and Will gave us a night at this very unique hotel...The theme here is Indiana University and sports...a very unique hotel chain that we recommend you check out. (guys, we even used the valet parking!) Thank you, Will and Joy. We loved it.

                                              

                                                           

3.) Here is a 6,500 sq ft event center that we are currently working at. 
The Conservatory at Evergreen. Very Cool!!

4.) On MLK Day, Becky, "the babies" and I visited Midland Antiques in downtown Indy. 
If you haven't been here, get there! (Though 50% of the check out peeps were not friendly at all.)

5.) Joylily's pic of her beautiful sons. 

6.) On Jan. 20, we hosted our 3rd Ladies' Craft Hang Out at the Creation House and it was a Fantastic time! Here we have Taylor spending quality time with baby Wilder.

7.) The beautiful gals working on the Valentine's Day Bunting....or holding babies, or putting Washi tape on whatever would sit still (that'd be Piper. Her love for the washi is adorable!)

8.) The gals are winding down...

9.) Joy, TyLea and Peggy are serious about their Valentine craftiness.

10.) Lisa, Katie and Kim showcase their creativity! Job well done, Ladies!

11.) Moll and Nora had their girl gang present and they all made cool quartz key chains and necklaces.

12.) At the Creation House, this is one of the upstairs bedrooms, currently being used for storage and crafting. I love the ceilings and quaintness of this 1928 home. 


This week has been very busy, and very good. Just wanted to take the time to update the blog. Such a nice diversion from the crazy whack funkiness of our current events and life in these United States.

This evening, David and I are hanging with Link. After a trip to Target to look at all the cool toys and ride the tiny bikes, we came back to the apartment so David and Link could play Legos. We are enjoying Naan pizzas with pesto and marinara.

Have I mentioned how much fun it is to be a grandparent??
Well, it's fun. 
that is all.

I shall return!
Hope you're doing well.

 

Gimme all the hearts…

 I've always loved Valentine's Day. I love pink n red, hearts, doilies, fringe, vintage cards, candlelight eating, romance and all the schmooze that goes with it.

If you hadn't heart yet, we have this cool house south of Indy...and on January 20, 2023, I'll be hosting my third Ladies' Craft Hang Out. The first two, as pictured in my post from a few days ago, was so much fun, that we had a second one on Dec. 9, 2022....I believe women are hungry for fellowship, creativity, purpose, acknowledgment and encouragement! We believe that the Lord has called us to do that with these evenings. So far, so good! It is so much fun....we laugh, chat, laugh more, create, eat and drink stuff...such a blast.

Let me know if you'd be interested in joining us...

Before the grey shading….

After grey shading.

 Bully the Sugar Grove Bulldog is mostly done. He just needs to get sealed up now.

Our company, Young Final Finish, though small (less than 10 employees) had a very busy December. I’m kinda in awe of it (how’s that for some proper grammar?)

Take this bulldog for example…and the pattern of colored epoxy blocks on the entire 5,000 square foot cafeteria floor. David gets an idea in his head and BAM! There it is…

I’m just in awe. 

I’ll be back with more updates later!

This isn't the most well laid out blog post and for that, I apologize...but I wanted to get these pics on here...and must add, that some of these belong to Joy so I'll note that with a JY.
