It's a hot one out there. Low 90's for our part of the world. A bit too hot to finish the exterior of the door... too hot for this gal and too hot for the paint. I am thinking I am going to have to wait until early Monday morning to get the final coat of paint on. In the meantime, I will sit inside the air conditioned house and update the blog.
This morning I slept in, and then the girls and I went blueberry picking. We only picked 4lbs. before everyone was too hot to go much further. I am thinking that an apple blueberry pie is in order this weekend! Thankfully, blueberry season will go for a few more weeks at least. We hope to get out and pick quite a few more pounds. Last year we picked 14 pounds, froze most of it, and it still only lasted us 4 months!
My 9 year old pops blueberries into her mouth like they are candy. I can always count on finding her with her hand in the freezer and pulling a few berries out of a Ziploc bag. Needless to say, blueberries are her favorite fruit.
I drug the girls to only 2 garage sales today. They were being a bit non-compliant. I spent a whopping $.50 on a simple peg board/coat rack and $2.00 on this serving tray.
I was drawn to the detail in the wood. I have grand plans for it. They of course involve a can of Kilz primer, some paint, fabric, and decoupage. It is always nice to have a small project like this that can be completed in a day. Instant gratification.

I am the second oldest of 6 children. I have two sisters and three brothers. My youngest sister, Tiffany, is 10 years younger than I am. Tiffany has a product review site called "Babes and Kids." You may have noticed the button on my sidebar. Occasionally Tiffany shoots me an email and asks if I would be interested in reviewing a product for her website. Today I am guest blogging over at Babes and Kids. You can check out my latest review of Fibers.com, at Babes and Kids Review , here.
