What Shall I Be?


When I was growing up I had a board game called * "What Shall I Be?" ; designed for girls with choices you'd expect; nurse, teacher, etc. There was one that I always would pick but never ever did --- "actress". But the music lessons, choir, sewing lessons certainly shaped the things I do & enjoy today, as well as those jobs that I've had & "retired" from.

I've retired my aerobic shoes and microphone, the personal trainer clipboard...retired are the church organ & piano offertory, wedding & hymn books...

Some days now it's my ladder, a paint brush & faux finishing tools. Other days, garden gloves, a shovel & pruners. Often it's the sewing machine calling my name, something for my etsy shop. I need to spend MORE time working on new recipes, maybe a cookbook. For now, I hope you enjoy my shop, this blog & my other recipes!


PS...don't miss my daughter Sara's wedding pictures & blog!
*Object of the game is to the first player to become a Career Girl.
Players move around the board collecting School Cards, Subject Cards and Personality Cards.
Game ends when one of the players has collected 4 School Cards of one Profession and 2 Subject Cards and 2 Personality Cards that are good for that Profession.
Professions and their respective schools are:
College - Teacher
Airline Training School - Airline Hostess
Drama School - Actress
Nursing School - Nurse
Charm School - Model
Ballet School - Ballet Dancer
(No doctors, lawyers, designers....certainly not Vice President or President!)

Formally Yours

A work in progress, now wrapping up, I've been working on some decorative painting projects at this BRIDAL shop in the Atlanta/Lilburn, Georgia area. Brides, bridesmaids, mothers of the bride will all find this a fun place to shop for your dresses.


Yesterday I painted the numbers to this VERY LARGE wall clock. The outside diameter is 41"...no mistaking the time here...tick-tick'n away!

Store policies concerning alterations & returns are no longer on a printed sign but handpainted on the wall behind the front desk. this was work I did in late 2007.


Above the mirrors is a quote that has become the store's motto,
"Creating a lifetime of elegant beauty"! Again, work done in 2007 after I'd painted beige walls with the blue & green.

More pics and info tomorrow....
