Church Camp for Deacon~ Mena

 These silly boys are headed off to church camp!
Lance Marek, Bricen Nelms, Deacon, and Riley Ortiz
 Zane Denson also went!
Deacon had a great time last year but this year's outcome wasn't the same.
Due to the issues he has had with the PANDAS syndrome, he is easily scared and has anxiety issues.
Jacob Hancock(13) told ghost stories and Deacon does not ever want to go back to camp again.

Before and After

 I do love a good before/after!
The light fixture on the left was given to me for free by Tara Burgess. I painted it and we hung it. Seven years later, I found the one on the right at Dr. Franzmeier's yard sale for $30. I sold the old one for $20. Love!
 I totally hated to get rid of the piano that my Grandma Bonnie bought for me as a child but it was in desperate need of an update! See bottom photo. I recovered the seat in a funky animal print. The paint color was mustard but everyone thinks it is green?! I love how it turned out!
 My China cabinet got a makeover with Annie Sloan chalk paint, French Linen. I sold it shortly afterwards in preparation for receiving my grandma's set.
 I purchased this hall tree for $20 and sold it for $130. I painted it and added hooks to each side. I think it would be adorable with a big monogram in the center panel!
 I purchased this desk at a yard sale for $30. Dane had been asking for a desk for his room. I will try to locate the before pix!  (It was pale yellow). I found this modern chair for $7 at the Antique store. Looks great in his room!







FCA Tennis Camp

 Dace had a blast at Tennis camp. Jett's big brother, Jax Burgess, was a great instructor!

 Allie Wilson was so much fun too!
 Trey Smith and the boys enjoyed the snow cones on the last day!
