I Have Too Much Time - My Splash In The Kitchen & A New Car

I know by the title you must have thought  'huh'?  We'll start with the car. It's Ben's. It's nice. And it sucks that he's got the nicest car in the family. I am so jealous. But actually, we're proud of him. Apparently he's been saving his money and decided to take the plunge. He talked to people, researched and decided on a 2009 Hyundai Sonata. And, there was a manufacturer rebate of $3000 and a dealer rebate of $1800, so it worked out well. Anybody want to buy a 1997 Lexus that looks like it's been 'ridden hard and put away wet' (as they say) but runs real well?  Yeah, well, just let us know ok?

I haven't had any work recently so as you know, I've been doing a little painting. And one project leads to another sooooo....... You see this single color backsplash? Go ahead....click the picture.....there ya go. Well, we don't like it so I decided to change it. Can't afford real tile right now, so I had to go with the 'faux'. Treatment that is, faux treatment. I'd seen this particular treatment done on walls before but never on tile. So, new challenge - And I think it's going to work! It's basically done now except for letting the glue cure for a week, and then I'll coat it with polyurethane.  Take a look and see if you can tell what it is. Put your color-shock-proof glasses on because it isn't boring any more!

It was done with tissue paper. Yes, that flimsy excuse for paper and a product called Mod Podge - which is used for paper mache objects. 'What's next' you ask?  Hmmm, don't know. But I'll show you if I do something else. I think I need to finish whipping the backyard into shape.

FYI, I am scheduled to have another blood analysis on June 9th.
