2017 was quite the year. We spent most of it getting ready for our daughter's wedding: mowing and grooming the wedding and reception spots, planting the front flower bed, and working on the art studio (thought we might need the space for guests to stay in) and we got a beehive.

Then there was the wedding - it was beautiful and perfectly Megan and Dylan. We had near perfect weather (just a tiny bit hot but nice and sunny) and everyone had a wonderful time.
Lastly, Bruce with occasional help from family and friends got my art studio closed in and done! He finished up all the construction part the week between Christmas and New Years. The walls and ceiling were textured and painted, the ceiling fan and lights were hung, and trim added around the windows and doors.

The next part is for me to paint the trim and seal the floor. Then I can start setting it up. I have my metal grates from Comfort, TX to make into shelving
and I found these red lockers in Canton this past First Monday Trade Days (oh it was so cold but these made it so worth it!). Both will work great for storage, etc. in the studio.
The unicorn (from another Canton trip) is hanging in the studio...whether she stays in that spot or not, time will tell but for now this is where she is. Guaranteed to make me smile.
2017 was definitely a great year filled with wonderful things. And here's to the new adventures 2018 brings!
Many blessings!
It most certainly was a good year! The wedding was the highlight, but your studio is a close second :).
