Hi sweet friends, I have some new images for you!

Hope you will enjoy these little sweeties!





 I want to apologize for not getting around to visit.  For the past couple of weeks I have been working at my son's screen printing business.  He runs the business out of our garage and we have been so busy, which is very good, but it has been so hot here in Arizona and we have no air conditioning out there!  Here's a picture of our garage turned shop.  While we are working the garage door is open and the dryer is pulled half way out of the garage onto the driveway.  You can see the blue dryer right next to the garage door behind the press.


After Jeff prints the shirts on the manual press he runs them through the dryer which has a conveyor belt at about 280 degrees to dry and set the ink.  My job was taking the shirts off the dryer belt and stacking them flat by size on tables and then folding the order and packaging it back in the boxes.  Even though it was very hot out there, Jeff and I really had a great time working together while his friend was on vacation.  It was especially nice for me because I was able to spend extra time with Jeff, and that is what makes me so very happy!  


Before I go, just wanted to share an ATC that I created in PSP with a couple of digi kits I bought on Etsy. I still have so much to learn though, but I really enjoyed trying something new and this was so much fun!  :)



Hope you are all enjoying your summer!  Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll get around to visit all of you soon!
Hugs & Love,

Wow, Jeff sounds really busy, and I think it's great that mom and dad can help out his business by using the garage, and that you got to spend so much time with him too :) That huge dryer is amazing, never seen anything like it.

Thank you for the lovely children images and your ATC, well, what can I say, it is amazing, I didn't realize it was digital until you told us.

We are also have a very hot summer and everyone is just trying to stay cool, hope you can do the same.
Hugs, Lynn

How very sweet of you to help your son with his business. And the commute is not that far, either. Love what you're doing with digital. That sure opens up a whole new way to play. Thanks for the images, too.

Hi Carol Anne:
What a wonderful to spend time with your husband and Jeff!!! He certainly has the equipment. How exciting. I want to ask a zillion questions but I e-mailed you instead and then I have thought of even more : ) What a great entrepreneurial spirit he has!!!
I should come work for him so I could loose weight in the heat : )
take care and thank you for sharing with us.
peace & love
your Friend
