Life Through the Eyes of my Scattered Brian

   Pretty sure that I shared this before, but now I have it finished with ribbon. Made this for Amber to hang on her front door. It is  Titan football colors  and it is football season. This was going to be part of a Bday thing but since its Titans time in Tn., I will give to her this weekend.  Questions ~ Do you decorate for  Halloween? Do you do pumpkins? Carve or paint? Place outside or just enjoy them inside? I have not carved a pumpkin in way too many years. When my kids were still at home and younger,  way younger we started painting our pumpkins.  I have not even had a real, live pumpkin in years, except for some that I bought just to sit out around a bale of straw. Only to  feed to my friend's pies   haha, I read over what I just typed and laughed, not pies but pigs!!!! Sitting here working on the post 7:30 am and my nephew calls, he is  on his way on another adventure, he is driving around different states. He has bee...

  Oh me... I have been painting yet again. On Sunday I painted this rock to look like a box of  Uno cards. I also picked up this plaque a couple years ago, I forget  what it said on the top, but I had painted over it cause for some reason, I did not like it. Now it reads this way. I also got this one painted, thought it would be an  amazing piece but it did not turn out anyway like I had hoped it would. Not liking it much at all.  This might require a sanding and reusing of this board. But on Tuesday I  painted this. I a proud of it. I am remembering why I have not been painting on anything smaller than 8z10. I don't like painting  that small. To top it off, I shake. A mix of Cymbalta and Fibro, and  with the Cymbalta raised up,  the shakes are not so easy to deal with when painting small items. This also will pass. Scrolling though FB I ran across a house for sale about 45 mins away, but the For Sale sign is what got my attention. Priceless!...

 On Saturday evening I had a small get together with Kathy and  Kenny being here. Wow, this is only the second time I have entertained people here at the house. Moved in Dec. and April 2024, Julie, Mitzi and Vic visited and  I put out a "fix your sandwich" meal. But this evening, we  cooked burgers, had chips and dip, baked beans and  slaw. The boys were visiting a friend, Caleb and his family could not come since they just got home from the  hospital with the baby. It was me, K and K, Amber, Hannah, Brayden, Evie  and Beckham.  This little girl is as perfect as perfect even if her body is not. So sweet!! I had made this for her room since she has gotten into  soccer. Plus, I had some books for her, since she is reading now. But I got two books for Bubba, so Evie could read to him.  But, the fun was, I got  her some outside chalk. Her and I ran out to draw! While I did a heart that  said,"I love Evie" inside it she went and did...

Are you a fan of  country music? How about some of the  older singers? You know I LOVE Dolly, and I love Reba. My dad was a fan of Ole  Johnny's so I heard that music and those songs. I do have to say, I love the song, "One Piece at a Time" so  to see a car that was made  from all the parts mentioned in the song by a friend of  Johnny's was so cool. I know the pic below is wicked looking, I shot into the  mirror to get it.  But, here is a good shot of it.  Dummy me, left my CAMERA in the car so I used my cell, sun coming in through the cracks and windows made some of  these shots yucky. Different years on taillights. Even the motor is made with diff year parts. AMAZING. Kenny Parker thinks he  is going to drive off  in this car!! But I made him get out so I  could "pretend" to drive it. There was a tree trunk standing as a post in the garage that  came from Col. Parkers house, Had a perfect hole in it,  I shot th...
