I am home! I got back home on the 19th, but I've been just enjoying being home and didn't update here right away.
Luckily, the only bad thing that happened during my flight was that somehow the handle of my suitcase was broken in half. They didn't forget me somewhere, and my luggage didn't spend a few weeks hanging out somewhere random like it so often does. I have horrible travel luck so a slightly broken piece of luggage is a very good outcome.
I start work at my office job tomorrow! I'm a bit nervous, and I wish that I could have spent a bit more time at home resting. But I do want to get working again as soon as possible so that I can start making money again. Also, it's supposed to get really busy mid-August so getting me started now before that is a good idea.
It's been wonderful to see Scottie again! I missed him so much. I also was excited to see my ferrets again! They're so cute.
I've been trying to rest up so I haven't done much art yet, though yesterday I decided I wanted to start a barbie face repaint. I had already stripped the paint off of a barbie head this winter and I was going to use that, but I could not find the head anywhere. I found the body... but that's not terribly useful. So I went to strip a different head, but of course I ended up having some issues and the paint ended up smearing on one side of her head. I'm glad that it was just one of my cheap thrift store barbies and not a monster high head! Of course, I'm not going to start on Monster high heads until I've had more experience painting cheap and easily available thrift store barbies. lol
I did some garage sailing this past weekend. I picked up an AWESOME easel for $15. It was from an older guys house, and that easel was worth soooo much more than $15. But he said he didn't need a bunch of them anymore, and so he had 3 of them out for sale. They are excellent quality, and I doubt that they are made like this anymore. I could get a new one of a similar type for like $250 from Micheals. I was so excited, I've been wanting an easel like this for years. We were tempted to grab a second one so that Scottie could have one too, but we only got the one.
Scottie made me a beautiful beaded wire necklace and earrings yesterday! I'll put up pictures of that soon.
