The contest kit is finished
Tuesday, November 24, 2020
I completed the sign, after several attempts to get the lettering right, then crafted a bracket and hung it. I am finished!
I need to take pictures with a proper backdrop for the submission, but I'm taking a break to just PLAY first. Thanksgiving (which also happens to be my 50th birthday) is in a couple of days, I’ve got a few days off work, and I intend to enjoy myself.
The English Cottage Kitchen got a good cleaning...so much dust... then after a much deserved break the crew started hauling in groceries.
How many are they expecting for dinner?!?
Congratulations on finishing, it is fantastic. I love the sea life.
Happy Birthday, I am one year ahead of you....I never imagined my self at 50. Now What? I am still trying to figure this stage of life out....I think it is best to punt.
Do I spy Michelle Obama and Freddie Mercury? That should make for some lively conversation. At least C3PO won't eat much. I hope you have a wonderful birthday and day of Thanks!

Yes, that's Freddy Mercury....and Kamala Harris. :)
Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Congratulations on your contest entry, it is such a creative use of the kit and is so well executed. And Happy Birthday! It is also my granddaughter’s birthday. Unfortunately our hero, Kamala, Harris won’t be celebrating with her 😉.

Wow-wow-wow! Keli! The idea for this kit has turned into an amazing art piece! Excellent vision and meticulous work! I wish I could appreciate all of the aged details "natural" weathering up close! Best of luck in the contest, too! Can't wait to see the photo shoot shots!

Your finished competition kit is stunning! I want a tide pool too... I've been following your progress pictures on Instagram.
VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! In German they say you just struck a naught, and it's reason for much hilarity and celebration. I hope you had lots of both.
