God's Country Potter County, PA

Happy Thursday my loves,

I hope you are well and that life is good your way. It's okay this way. This past weekend Casey and I went up to our family camp in the mountains and had a great time as usual. This was my Dad's camp and now my brother owns it. It's amazing up there and so beautiful. The bus is a 1939 school bus that was converted to a camp and has been in our family for probably around 60 years or so now. I love it up there so much and I totally feel my Dad there with us when we are there. He loved camp and I promised him his last week of life that I would help to keep camp going and we have been since he passed.

Of course for the weekend I did some mountain themed nails. I think these turned out super amazing and am really proud of these nails and hope you like them too :)

My base is OPI "Sailing & Nail-ing". I then sponged China Glaze "Starboard", OPI "I'm Sooo Swamped!", China Glaze "Give Me 'Smore" and Broadway Nails "Snow White" on the nails to be stamped. I stamped using Funky Fingers "Dark Knight" with Maniology X Clairestelle8 M035 plate. I put a coat of Wet 'n Wild Fast Dry "Emerald the Crown Jewels" on my thumbs and pinkies to finish.

Sailing & Nail-ing on it's own, love this blue.

Here's some pictures from our weekend away, it was so nice and relaxing. I love it up there, it's the best way to get away for a few days :) T

This is the bus, isn't it awesome!!!

Here's the view from right below camp at our neighbors, it's gorgeous.

Some shots of around camp, so pretty!

That's it for today. Have a great night and I'll talk to you all soon, soon :)

Pebbled Pathway

Happy Monday,

It's Monday, ugh! The last couple weeks have been pretty blah for me. I've had a lot of stress at work and last weekend my neighbor trapped and claimed that he dumped our outside cat at some farm. He did it because he was pooping in his yard. I had told him about a week prior that if we could get him trapped that I would take him to my Mom and sister's to be a barn cat but he never even gave me a chance. It's so unfair as this cat had been here for 9 years and has never fended for himself. I don't know if I believe that he really dumped him off and if he did I am sure it was a certain death sentence for Little Shit. My heart is broken over this and I've just been really blah about it, sigh. He never even gave me a chance to relocate him, sigh, sigh, sigh.

I did have a nice time with my Mom on Mother's Day though and this past Saturday I went to a womens church breakfast with my Mom and that was really nice. Mom did finally adopt a new dog about two weeks ago and her name is Tilly and she's super sweet. I'm going to do a post for her soon :)

So, life has been a bit strange here and there but it will be okay in the end, it always is. I hadn't really done my nails the last week or so. I did these super cool ones yesterday and love these. In my perfect world I would have a pebbled path in pink and purple in my backyard. That's what these ended up reminding me of, a pebbled pathway :) I think they are so cute, hope you do too :)

My bases are Sally Hansen Salon Manicure "King of Shadows" (purple) and Essie "The Fuchsia Is Bright" (pink). I then dabbed "King of Shadows" on top of the pink and stamped using Sinful Colors "Snow Me White" with Whats Up Nails "B010" and Moyra "Dreamology 27" plates. The glitter on my pinkies is Maybelline Color Show Lavender Sparks" and on my thumbs and index nails is a coat of Morgan Taylor "Cellophane Coat".

"King of Shadows" (purple) and Essie "The Fuchsia Is Bright" (pink) on their own, love, love these two shades together. 

Have a great week and I'll talk to you all soon. I leave you with Princess Pebbles on one of our neighbor's (not the crappy one) back steps watching a pigeon one day!

Save the Bees

Happy Sunday my loves,

I hope you are well and life is good. It's good my way :) Today I have some simple stamped bee nails. We need bees, without bees, there is no life, so whatever we do we must save the bees. I think these turned out cute and hope you think so too :)

My base is Sally Hansen X-treme Wear "Sun Spot". I stamped with Funky Fingers "Dark Knight" and Uber Chic 5-01 plate. The glitter is China Glaze "Night & Slay" and on my thumbs and pinkies I put a coat of China Glaze "Lighthouse" to finish this mani.

Sun Spot on it's own, love this shade of yellow, it's perfect for Spring.

That's it for today. Have a great rest of the weekend and an even better week. I leave you with a picture from a few years ago with cats all over with me :) This one has my gray cat, Buster, in it too. RIP buddy. He went to Rainbow Bridge a couple years ago. I miss that little guy so much, sigh. There's also Miss Betty, Dino and Mr. Kitty here.
