Got Vine?
Awhile ago Mensa and I were watching Parks and Recreation. In this particular episode Ron Swanson is obsessed with getting off the grid. There is this one scene where he accidentally opens Vine on Tom’s tablet taping his 6.5 seconds moment of, “Erase all pictures of Ron” selfie. It’s hilarious.
Yesterday during a rather slow lunch I decided to do my first Vine selfie. Check it out HERE. Boom! LOL.
I can see what kind of fun is going to be had by Mushpa y Mensa with this new app. Follow us on Twitter if you want to make sure you don’t miss any going forward. ;]
You’re welcome!!!

Free 99 Cents Shelf
Sometimes we drool over the furniture on the street. Ok, correction. I drool over the furniture on the street and Mushpa tries to convince me not to bring trash into our home, and be a bit more…what shall we say, selective?
When we have more space, we will be bringing in all sorts of furniture to re-vamp and re-furbish, and potentially sell in our shop as well! This goes back to our idea of making things “from scratch”. On our 100th Blog Post we tried to explain our approach to doing things from now on. If we have the tools to be able to make it, then why not try to do it ourselves? Here is a perfect example.
This is one of the pieces we found a block down from our home. We decided that if it was still there when we came back from our walk, that we would take it in.
We needed storage, and we got some for free! With a few left-over spray paint cans, we painted it and now it looks fantabulous on our studio!
Thank you Mushpa for this one!

It is all about jumping, moving, living, breathing. There is an amazing world out their waiting for your journey.
