Salty Mommy

so i went to ny with joy this weekend and we had a great time! we shopped in china town, took a lot of cabs, ate good food, saw a movie, walked around a bit, and went to church at the journey . i really liked the church but the best part was seeing how they do everything and thinking about how we can use it at our church in cape may. i took one of every paper handout i could get my hands on. then we went to the kids dept down stairs cause i wanted to check it out and they are doing the same program we are doing for our kids a video series called kidmo. that was pretty exciting.

off to play practice...wish me luck.

11am open art & soul 11:05am piece broken 11:15am crying little boy cause he doesnt like his car 11:20am painting little boy's stinky foot for tile 11:25am painted little girl's not stinky fooot for tile 11:45am family gone to beach to fly a kite i guess you can fit a lot in when your kids attention span's are short!! they were 3 year old twins and he was double her size.despite the breakage and tears we had fun and they were such a nice family.

ok friends...the scarecrow is sitting on a bale of hay (which is on top of what i keep the glaze on normally ...it has wheels so we can bring it in at night) and he is so cute! i promise once david uploads the pictures i will post them. other then that we have still had customers everyday that we are open and we are getting more cuaght up each day. on a side note last week i had 2 heart mugs both painted by sarah's and i accidentally shipped them both to the wrong house. lucky for me both families were very nice and they are going to ship them to each other and i am going to send them each $$ for the difference. do you think i should send them some giftcards to art & soul??

so friends we built a scarecrow for a little contest on the island here...in cape may. It is for the CCA and the winners are announced on sat at 4pm. i will get some pictures posted and i will let you know if we won! Oh did I forget to mention it is built entirely out of pottery?? It is soooo cool...David & Kathryn & Ginny painted the parts and then David, Big Dave and I put it together today! It is sooo awesome!

Thank You to Ginny, Jeff, Kathryn, Shannon, Billy,Melissa Joy, Jason, David, Jim, Liz & Andrew !! We never could have gotten all those boxes packed with out all of your help!! I am still in shock that we packed 43 boxes!! Thank you!!

so today is slow because a lot of tourists are on their way home. And i took my book home last night and forgot to bring it back. So i should do something more productive with my time anyway..right? like check blogs or read emails?? ok so i think i am going to organize my drawers behind the counter that are full of junk...but first i have to unload and load the kiln...FUN!!

art & soul has been great all summer! Now this is the last weekend and we are going out with a bang!! We had our busiest day ever yesterday!! 100 painters whoopeeee!! Now i should be back into blogging more often sorry for the lack of updates!! Thanks for always checking back.
