jones soda winner

Jones Soda. The brightly colored beverages in those bottles with quirky obscure pictures. Anyone can submit a photo to be printed on the label, but to make the cut, big wigs at Jones Soda Co. must like the photo enough to use it. When Curt & I were remodeling our kitchen, I took this picture and I think it would make a great photo for Jones Soda. Isn't this the type of picture you want to see on your soda bottle?

Well it's done. I just submitted this photo on the Jones Soda website and if it's chosen, soda bottles at a grocery store near you will sport this look.

the color continues

Well I can't have a fun colorful china hutch and still have an ugly blah dining set, now can I? There are six chairs, so I did two of each color. No, don't try to adjust your computer monitors, the colors are turquoise, yellow-green and purple.

The table is a distressed natural white.

I know for some people, namely grandmas, it would seem I took a perfectly good table and chairs and ruined them. I am not afraid of color, I welcome it with open arms. The dining room looks bigger and brighter now. There's just one problem: what's my next project going to be?

things i know for sure

Just a few things that I am certain of:

-I really need to improve on my bocce ball skills (man, am I horrible)

-fireworks, no matter how weak the bang or how terrible the music selection, are still good times

-older "cottage stye" homes are absolutely endearing and simply inviting

-grilled pineapple is heaven sent

-Wait Until Dark is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen

-there's nothing better than great family & friends

-staying up late is much more fun than getting up early

-life would be a dial tone without music

-being creative & crafty feels so rewarding

-nothing can make you feel better quicker than a little dog in your lap
