……began with Sandie Girl picking me up at mom’s to begin our grand adventure.  Off we Went to Oxnard with a stop first  to see Melissa and Nicks home in Port Hueneme.   It was a beautiful drive…..

I loved seeing my painting of Wisteria that  Sandie and Jim commissioned as a wedding gift for Melissa and Nick.

Did I love this kitty cat more?  You decide.

Kitty was just like Kita….loving to be rubbed and petted until you’re quite exhausted!

Now I have to tell you that this young couple is by far the most creative, talented and enterprising pair.  Do yourself a favor and check out Melissa’s blog at www.houseattheharbor.com for so many wonderful ideas.  I’ll be showing you a few.  Best of all, Melissa tells you how to do everything so economically!  Can you believe they made this wonderful treehouse bed for Jakey?

Not only did they make this amazing crib that will eventually convert into a full bed, Melissa painted the charming stencils in this wonderful nursery soon to be occupied by Noah.

Hey, I thought we were leaving.  Honestly, I have never seen so many toys….in both homes…. it was just like being in a toy shop and here it was hazardous for adults as there were toys literally everywhere!
