Around the neighborhood...

Wow! I can't believe how long it has been since I posted on my blog.
I still am not scrapping but lots of things have been happening. Here is one of them...

My house before....


My house after....


Yes, I know there is still work to do on it. Paint the railing black, paint the pipes (oil fill and such) to matched the new color of the house and a few odds and ends but I love the new look of the house.

Apparently so does my next door neighbor, they just finished her house today. She loved the look of the shingles in front and did her whole house that way in a light green (which was the first color I picked but changed it this blue as it is the same color of my childhood home and just makes me feel happy.)

and.....

so does my new neighbor. Well, actually she is across the street from me and been here about a year now but she is the newest person in the neighborhood. I call her my Crazy California Neighbor. She isn't crazy and she never been to California let alone come from there. So, why do I call her that? Here's why....




Before you ask, there are 3 colors, silver, black and white. It took 4 hours to paint her and it was done by someone (sorry, I don't know her name) who does makeup and wants to go on that show on TV. I think it is like Face Off where they have so long to do a certain creation for a contract/prize but I don't know the name of it, it may even be Face Off but I could swear there is a new one coming or just came out done with make up like this. Maybe one of you know what the name of it is. (And yes, that is her real hair and how she keeps it all the time.)

  1. Your house looks wonderful Sue; I love the color and the contrast of the white and dark blue is beautiful. It's nice to have a neighbor join the fun because that makes the whole neighborhood look alive. As for your "Crazy California Neighbor" (I can see where you got the name), where are the before pictures? She is a work of art just like your house. The name of the show is "Skin Wars" and my SIL's best friends cousin is one of the artists. How's that for a connection. I haven't watched it even though I'd like to see it once. DH is not at all interested.

    Keep plugging along and I hope you join us for getting crafty again soon.

  2. Yes, that is it! Skin Wars, thank you! You know I don't have a picture of her before, I will have to corner her one day and grab one. Isn't that an interesting connection! I never watched it either...LOL. Glad you also like the house colors. (It'll look even better once I paint the rails and all but the weather here is not cooperating yet.) Thanks!
