A day at the Oregon Coast

Jason and I spent the day at the coast a few weekends ago and it was absolutely beautiful! The weather was very warm and we had never seen the tide out so far!
A view of Face Rock....the profile of a face that is looking upward...

Jason was being silly...digging for buried treasure...or something =0)I am sure that I felt "sea things" crawling on my legs as I stepped into the hole!

Visiting with Friends

When we went to Portland, I had a chance to visit with some college roommates, Jocelyn and Kendra. Both Joc and Kendra got married this past Fall, but I was unable to go due of work. We usually try to get together once a year. It is so wonderful to visit with each other because it is like no time has passed at all! That is the best part about having good friends.

"Projecting"

When Jason and I first moved in, our master bathroom was unintentionally the place in the house where we made all our "mistakes." Several of them ranged to accidentally using non-paintable caulking along the shower, to drilling the pocket door stuck in place with hopes of having a second towel rack. So, we decided to re-model the bathroom over Spring Break. I wanted to repaint it and use a ragging technique over the base coat of fresh paint. Once the base coat of new paint was applied we had to rag on a colored glaze and re-mask everything that wasn't supposed to be ragged.

My mom and I ragged on the glaze. I was shooting for the effect of gold to be shimmering on the walls. Here I was panicking because the color of the glaze, which was supposed to be golden, was a cross between canary yellow and the yellow color road crews use to paint lines on the road....not exactly what I wanted.....
We went back to the paint store and got a nuetral tan glaze and a pearl glaze....it was stunning when we were finished....just like out of a magazine!!!
Ahh....the finished look (although the camera doesn't do it justice)!
