A Blank Slate

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01664

During the course of the remodel of the bathroom a wall in the kitchen had to be opened up to access a pipe. Since we never touched the kitchen at all while living here we did not have the paint to paint the wall. My dad suggested that I get some of that chalkboard paint and paint the wall that way. I had been waiting for a day when Allison and the kids were out of the house because that is the best time for me to get projects completed.

Today some of the girls from Andy’s old school invited him over for a going away party. They were all very sad to hear that he was leaving for another school and wanted to do something so that he knew that people did care about him. It was a very nice gesture and he had a fantastic time there.

While they were gone I got to work and painted the all using chalkboard paint. I put two coats on it and I think it came out pretty good. There are certainly parts I have to touch up but will, or will not, eventually. I picked up a few things at the Dollar Tree on the Cape and ordered some chalkboard markers for the space as well. I am also using this as a space where I can hang my car keys. One less thing on the kitchen island.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo. 

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.
