This is what happens when you leave me at home...

So this weekend I got a decorating itch. I admit, it had been a while, typically it is about every other weekend I seem to tackle a house project. This weekend, I was back at it!
I love it because Marc can feel it coming.... almost down to a science.
It starts with long stares at the wall, more like analyzing, slowly each area. Then a more rapid eye movement occurs, eyes darting from wall to wall my mind wonders, "Have I had it all wrong this entire time? That can not have possibly gone there!"
Then the madness begins.
Unfortunately I am not the most "organized" decorator. I have no vision, I have no plan, I just act. When I see what I like, I stop. There is no method to the madness.
I thought I would share with you some of my weekend home alone decorating moments!

Before.... The wall to the right was my prey, the wall needed something "Grander"

Down came the picture and up went the mirror. Then I started painting around it. The paint matched the ceiling and the trim, so it was nothing out there.

After the paint was dry, I decided to add some buttons to the wall.

Finished product!

That was fun! More to come!

Pap, this one's for you!

Happy Fathers Day to a Dad I know and love. I am thankful for you, and for all that you have done for us growing up, and still today. I see a lot of myself in you, and I am thankful above all for your example. Here are a few things that make me love you even more!

You may not think so, but I think you are an artist! Look at this beautiful table you made!

You love the stage.... front and center, or helping behind the scenes.

You are a handyman, and can't help helping out where ever you go! P.S Come back to visit soon!

You taught us how to have fun, and even shared your dance moves with us!

We love you dad! Happy Fathers Day

Bust a move

Just a little something that made me laugh!

I just hope my kids are as entertaining as this...

Why is is so difficult to act like ourself?

Being a part of the Production Team at Palm Valley, I am able to experience different areas of production which range from helping out back stage, behind the scenes, acting onstage or video.

Yesterday we filmed a segment for the 5 til. (which is our video announcements for the week) Some weeks we are able to film creative quirky little commercials, and some weeks the commercials lean more towards the informative, transferring of information side of things.

During the informative filming, I realized, It it much easier to act like someone else rather than ourself. Why is that?

When it comes to preforming, it is much easier to have someone critique a character, rather than, well you.

I wonder, when does that get easier?

Inspiration Folder?

The more I work with a creative department, the more I crave inspiration. Daily I try and challenge myself to find an image or an object that will 'inspire' future projects or creativity. Inspiration can be found found in anything, I am convinced!

If you don't currently have an inspiration folder, CREATE one. Not sure what you will put in it? Start with the things that make you smile, or intrigue you.

give it a try, it is interesting to see the types of things that you lean towards. It wasn't until I recently went digging in my folder, that I realized how unique my taste seems. Here are a few samples from my folder!

Last week we had a 'B' Party at our house! And you know why it was so much fun? It was a party just for fun! That's right, those party's are the best! No agenda, just come dressed up and have some fun. Everything at the party was associated with the letter B. We ate Burgers, and Ballpark franks, had a bonfire, played Bored Games and Watched Back to the Future! Everyone came dressed as something that started with B! I thought I would share some photos with you! Any excuse for a party!

Bonno and a Skilled B-ball player showed up.


The NBA let us borrow a few players for the evening!
