A RARE glimpse within....

It's not often that we share what's going on behind the walls of E.B., but I thought it would be fun to show a glimpse of the crazy, creative, prankster, fun, hard-working, comical guys I work with everyday...


Just a handful of the team working a late night to meet a deadline.

Darrin, Ty, A.J., Erik, Phillip. They are VERY tired, but still smiling...


They are a fun bunch, to say the least. Even when things get a little hectic and hurried, we all still laugh and continue to play at work.

Our oldest son, Ty. He is almost 24 and quite the character. I think every picture I've ever taken of him has either his "thumbs up" pose or a quirky smile! Here he is with a project we did for Philharmagic Theater in a famous Japanese theme park...

 Every surface is a canvas for a group of artisans...even the dusty ol' pressure tank!

Some of the employees, even though they move and move-on, they are still part of the E.B. family. Graphic rendering by Royce Owen - Seattle

Graphic renderings help sell the client an idea prior to creation.

Robert always does a great job and takes it VERY seriously!!!

Here is Erik, reminding us where the NOSE belongs....That obviously made Ty burst out in a belly laugh!

ROAD TRIP!!!!

Robert making a pass, ESPN Zone-style...

Let's not forget one of our HARDEST working "employees", OTIS the forklift...

Darrin and Phillip...a bit distorted....


...and last, but not least, it's only fair that there's a glamorous picture of me...the ONLY female in the building....but I sign the paychecks, so they tolerate the spikes of estrogen from time to time....LOL

Hope you enjoyed the glimpse....

Featured In Somerset Memories

 

April 2011

I am SO excited!!! I just received the latest issue of Somerset Memories in the mail...and I'm proud to say, one of my projects,  

"Three You-Nique Boys - A Keepsake Window"

is Featured on Pages 50-53.

It hits newsstands on April 1, but if you can't find it locally, click on the magazine cover above to order yourself a copy! If you are a paper artist, scrapbooker or a journaler, you won't be disappointed. (I am NOT paid to say that!)

Here are a few photos of my vintage window...complete with close-ups,
just so you can see the very cool CHIPPY - RUSTY detail that came with the cast-off window that I saved from the landfill! Yay!!!

My three boys were definitely the inspiration for this piece. It marries my love obsession with vintage windows, collected findings and cast-offs, and my very favorite photos of them. 

I enjoy being able to reflect back on the memories we've shared, as they have certainly grown-up faster than I ever imagined. 

And I get to enjoy it almost.every.single.day, as this new family "heirloom" hangs prominently in my office at work...but I'm not in my office every.single.day!

It does my heart good and makes me smile when I'm there....

Note: I've linked up LATE to for obvious reasons...I didn't want to post photos until the magazine was out!

ETA: Just linked up to Gail's Catch-As-Catch-Can party over at My Repurposed Life. Go take a look at all the links....

The Doors....

No, not those Doors! 

These Doors....

The Doors to our NEW shop/studio/business/home-away-from-home....

Lots of doors..

Hallway doors.

Entry doors.

Office doors.

Lobby doors.

Bathroom doors.

Exterior doors.

Interior doors.

 

Shop doors.

Glass doors.

Metal doors.

Wood doors.

Fiberglass doors.

Industrial doors.

Hollow core doors.

Solid core doors.

Doors. Doors. And more doors.

If the eyes are the windows to your soul, what are doors????

This, my friends, is one of the main reasons I have not been able to blog much this Summer.

We've been working hard getting the newly purchased OLD building in shape.

NEW doors were just part of the process.....

A ton of work, but it will have a HUGE payoff for all of us involved...

Stay tuned for more reveal as we complete our to-do list and the move in.....

Cheers!
